Thx so much! I'll try it out.

Does it work?

Ah, I see what you've done wrong. At the beginning, you put two "[img]" tags. You need to change the first one to a "[url]" tag 

It Works!!!!!!! :d Thank You So Much Redrocker227!

I think I'll redo the Paint thing though......... I just quickly threw that together.

Also, (Yes, I barely know ANYTHING on the forums ^^) How do you do the really cool signatures like yours RedRocker227? How did you get the words to change and all that?

I know I'm not RedRocker, but I'll answer anyway.
To make an animated signature, you make a GIF. You can make GIFs with programs like GIMP and Photoshop, or with an online GIF maker like picasion.com 

Thanks so much you guyz! But how do I get GIMP?

You download it here.
It's kinda hard at first, so if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! 

Ok, thanks so much fungirl123! Please stay on so I can ask you questions when I get them. 

questions
1. Is it free?

Yes, it is free. 
(Sorry it took so long for me to answer. I didn't see your edit! XD)

It's downloaded. Now, how do I use GIMP? It's very confuzzling.

Yes, it is XD
You want to make a GIF, right? First click on "File" then "New," and choose the length and width of your picture. Then, draw what you want your first frame to be.
Things you should use:
Paintbrush tool
Pencil tool
Fill tool
Text tool

Those are the easiest features I can think of, so you probably want to start out with those. They are basically all you need for a good signature (But not professional).

When you're done with your first frame, open up the layers toolbox (If you already have it up). You do this by pressing ctrl+l on your keyboard.
Click on your first layer and right click on it. Click on "Duplicate layer." A new layer identical to your first one will show up on the toolbox. You change it however you want. Keep repeating these steps till you're done.
When you are done, click "File" then "Save," and type your file name like this:
[file name here].gif
Click Save.
A box will up. Click on the button next to "Save as animation," then click "Export." Another box will come up asking you how long a delay you want between each frame (In milliseconds). If you want it to go slower, I would suggest setting it to at least 1,000 milliseconds.
Click "Save."
You are done.

Wow. This is SUPER CONFUZZLING.  Oh my. This is going to take me a loooong time to figure out. O.O
