How to Make Glitter Siggies
If you've ever wanted your emails and forum signatures to stand out from all the rest, then making your siggie or signature into a glitter siggie is one way to do this. While it may not be appropriate for business correspondence, it is great for a personal email signature, or a web forum signature. However, email and forums aren't the only place you can use a glitter siggie, you can also use one on MySpace and Facebook and any instant messaging program.
