Right dude!
Like the look of the devlish brow there
Dont want to be an interfering twart and all, but before the mods jump in and kill your sig pic, d'yer fancy shrinking it a bit? 56kb and 640x480 size (when most people's screens aren't considerably bigger than that) is a little excessive spesh with all the dead space - pavements, grass, houses etc.
(here's a link to an illustrating example of that - http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?loc=i ... nharry.jpg - that's your first post as it appeared on my screen, shrunk to about 60% of original size - a mere two lines of message and that signature takes up the entire, maximised browser window on a 1024x768 display. On an 800x600 you wouldn't fit the whole thing in! The pic would have been cool inserted in the first post as-is, as an intro, but it'll get annoying if you plan on majorly joining in with any running discussions)
Here's a couple you could take as a basis... well the first anyway, i got a bit light headed with all the picture editing i've been doing of late and added in some dodgy text that the JPG process has mangled for the second! Ignore it at will!
Cropped to 400x224, keeping owt but the Polo, shrunk to 75% (300x168), sharpened a little to compensate for size reduction, saved as a JPG at level 32 compression, final size 8kb
Similar but with warnky text and lower compression (so it's half readable) - level 20, 12kb
:p
