Homeschooling Blinkies - where can I find one?

[HomeGrownBlessings]

I checked the Blinkies FAQ and didn't find any in there. Where can I find one...for free?

:smile

Um, this may sound really stupid, but what is a blinkie??? :scratch

It's a graphic that you can put in your signature line. Like on mine I have "I love my husband" and I have a baby ticker to count down the days. I want to add a homeschooling one though - just for fun :) We are allowed 3 blinkies on our signature line.

I tried a search and I'm surprised they're aren't more out there!

I found these:

:doh Boy do I feel dumb! I thought that might be what a blinkie was--makes sense, but I can never go for the easy answer! Thanks for clearing that up for me!

My search didn't turn up much and no one has responded with even one site except the few tiny sites I found.

There must be a serious lack of homeschool blinkies out there. You're pregnant for only a few short months, yet there's a slew of pregnancy blinkies online. You homeschool for twelve years or more - yet there's almost no homeschool blinkies! With all the talent here, it seems like we could come up with some to offer to the public. I wonder if my son could make a couple in his Gimp program?

Leslie,

Thanks for your help and feedback - I've also been searching and you are right - hardly any, almost none for homeschooling! How cool that your son could make one! I wish I was talented in that area - if someone taught me I could probably do a simple one LOL.

BTW, love your blog!

Janet,

Cool - umm how do I do that? Use your homeschool blinkie?

[illinoismommy]

Right click it, go to "save picture as" and then save it somewhere, like on your desktop. Then put it on a photobucket.com account (free) and the link they give you, post in your signature. That's how I put all my blinkies :grin

Trying a couple of those blinkies from the Joyful Mother site. Hopefully it works!

Thanks for bringing up this question. I've been wondering about that! :rockon

[booboo]

Arrrrggggghhhh! It's not working! How do you do this???!!!

[illinoismommy]

If you are using photobucket.com it gives you three different types of addresses... you want the one that looks like this: [i mg] blah blah [/i mg] but without the spaces between the i and m in img

... put that in sig and see what happens

[HomeGrownBlessings]

I did it! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!

[booboo]

I did it! Thank you illinoismommy! :highfive :tu
