How Do I get a ticker in my Sig

[HLaB]

Its quite simple but it took me until AuntieHelen posted a few days back how to do it to investigate, to get a MyCyclingLog style ticker in the signature. It just involves copying somebody else's signature, modifying it to be based on your MCL user name and inserting it as an image in your signature.

Shaun, perhaps some sort of explanation can be placed in the 'How do I .... ?' forum.

If someone can send me the "getting a ticker" part - web site address, how to sign-up and get your ticker code - I'll add the "how to add it as a sig" bit and post it in the How do I ...? forum.

Cheers,
Shaun

There's no sign up, its we program or something written by Lock on the BV forums which reads MyCyclinglog data (you need of course to have an account there. This is my data:
http://locksrandomwebservices.appspot.com/MyCyclingLogProgress?user=HLaB&gid=528&goal=47&units=mi
You just need to change the user name, to your own and set a appropriate goal and if you want to change unit=mi (miles) to unit=km and insert it in the signature as an image.

I was wondering what gid was but I've just worked out that it is the CycleChat group id (528)!

Okay, I understand all that, but *where* do you create the account in the first place? What's the web address and what information do you provide to setup the account - that you then 'link' to the ticker in your signature?
