Now that I am in possession of a sig file, how do I make it appear in my posts?

You need to have it hosted somewhere. Then, here on this board, go to MyControls, click Edit Signature, and then put the image link address inside [img][/img] tags.

Got it! Photobucket actually had the format all set up for me after I uploaded the pic and all I had to do was copy and paste. Even Tchno-N00bs like me can do it!
Thanks Gwyd.

Nice sig, Tbolt.

Thanks Puck! I can't take credit for it, though. That piece of digital brlliance is the courtesy of =USA=Lynx. I am quite happy with it though.
