First, let me introduce myself. To make it brief, I'm a senior in high school, for the most part a computer "geek," and recently have become very passionate about politics. I've always had an "argumentative" attitude, one that wanted to stick up for what I believed, and stand up and speak when there was something said I disagreed with(or agreed with, for that matter). However, in the past year or so, I've learneda lot more of what I should be believing and standing up for, and of course come election time, my fire grew exponentially. I promised myself the fire wouldn't die when the election was over, and that's what led me here. Trying to keep the fire alive, and trying to keep speaking and keep working.
Anyway, considering I'm still in highschool and all, I don't have just a ton of opportunity to donate to causes monetarily. Most of what I can do is talk to friends, even those in online communities. One of the ways to do this is through signatures and avatars. I looked around a little, but didn't see any. In case you don't know what they are, a signature is just the space after every post of yours, or every email, or whatever. Most places you can put whatever you want there, as long as it's within the rules, but a lot of people use it as sort of an adspace for causes they support or whatever. Generally they'll use small banner-like image to do so. It's like an internet billboard.
Anyway, I was working on one for myself, but had a few questions. First, I wanted to ask for permission to use images from this site in the sig that I'm making. I don't mean hotlinking them, I mean using/editing part of the images into the sig, and then hosting it. Second, has anyone else made them? And third, is there anything in particular you guys think would be good to include? Right now I'm just kind of throwing things together.
