ohhh i see

 Thank you !!

You use "glow"

hi

No i don't find it annoying , as long as it's small.

But hey I was wondering , how did you do that ? the background thing ? I tried to do that on mine but i can't.. i 've tried ? [bgcolor = "blue"] hi [/bgcolor] doesn'twork

It is fine, just make it on one line with dividers like this: |

Looks perfectly fine, if it was big font and colors I'd probably be annoyed though.

I have no problem with the background colors, save for the fact that since I'm using the dark theme, the text is white, and therefore invisible in the glow. All I see are three blocks of color. For instance:

Test text for testing the text

Test text for testing the text

Both probably look the same, or very similar to you. But to me, the bottom one looks like:

Test text for testing the text

I would ignore the message for being non-new once I had already read it and determined I had no immediate interest to pursue logo design, webcam girls, or new soap, even if it didn't have those colors.  Though, the soap is pretty cool.

I don't find them obnoxious to the point I'd ever complain.  I'd find it annoying if the font size was big, but it's not.

It reminds me of a few Chinese restaurants in town that set their "OPEN" signs to blink.  When I see an "OPEN" sign blinking, it makes me wonder if they set it to blink on purpose because they think that if the sign isn't blinking, I won't want to eat there because I will mistakenly think the restaurant is closed, even in the middle of mealtime hours.  Or perhaps that I won't notice that there's a restaurant there, save but for the blinking open sign.  It's not a crime, and it's not annoying, it's just not my personal preference.  It's just unelegant, if I had to be asked how to describe it.  I do so many unelegant things myself though (like dress like a geek because I am one), so it's not like I have room to complain or anything.  It is entirely possible that in Chinese culture, the blinking sign is viewed as attractive on its own merits, which would serve as a possible reason that I observe this disproportionately in Chinese restaurants.

I changed my signature awhile ago to help promote the projects I work on. However, recently I've begun to feel like the background colors might be too annoying. I don't know if there is any kind of signature etiquette around here? Are you more likely to ignore it if it's too obnoxious? What can I do to improve it while still displaying my projects?
