Is there a step by step set of instructions for installing those colorful travel maps in my signature box?

OK, I'm originally from South Georgia and a little slower than most folks....I got the map "stored" on my laptop. How do I get it to appear in my signature?

Put in on tinypic.com or I notice your truck picture is photobucket. Do the same thing with the map you did with your truck.
Happy trails...................

Chuck, I don't know what got into me but I think the Good Fairy poured a bit of dust on me... I hope this doesn't offend you. I noticed your new map is not the same height as the picture of your rig. So, I cropped your rig picture to be the same height. Also, I applied a filter to brighten the picture a bit. Here's the result. Please feel free to ignore this if you prefer. This picture is at http://i12.tinypic.com/451vj2w.jpg if you'd like to use it.

Virgil, you need to put that picture out on the web and then you can put the address in your signature. See http://www.montanaowners.com/AddingPhoto.html for step by step instructions.

Glenn and Lorraine, if you're reading this, I see the instructions say to reduce the picture if more than 100k in size. Isn't the forum guideline no larger than 60k? or 90k if 60 is not possible?

Parrothead, you put it so that even I understood. Thanks

Hey Virgil,

Good job. Did you get Overkill home yet? How do you like it?
I'm also trying to figure out how you got from South Dakota to Missouri without going through Iowa, or do you only color in where you have stayed overnight?

Helen,
I emailed you with an update to keep from hijacking this thread.

Parrothead · 10-11-2006, 01:00 PM

Good job Virgil, looks really nice. Are you only doing the states you stay overnight in? When I put ours on it is "Places Monty has Been" because I figure if he travels all day through a state he deserves credit! LOL
Happy trails..........................

Hi Steve,
Not offended...newbie to this forum and still working out the bugs! Thanks...using your "filtered" version and guess I have more to do to get the map to equal dimensions.
Thanks,

Sue,
I am only coloring the states where we spent the night. I heard Steve say that's what he did and I liked the idea. But it your way makes sense also. Simply a matter of choosing and going with that. Thanks again

We have to spend the night before we get to color it in too. On our previous 5'er we had filled in all but three states in the four years we had it by just driving through. This time we want to stop more often so we make it a point to stay in each state. Our only exception was when we drove up the Northwest Territories. We did not spend the night because we couldn't find a place to stay and it was too big of a map not to put it on. We decided that having lunch/dinner there was close enough. Sometimes you just have to change the rules. LOL
