Ok, Here's what you do.....

Find the Picture you want in your signature. It must be a wiki-images picture, and not one from another site. Copy and paste the filename of that picture on a program like Word or Notepad to have later. It should look something like this - File:Scotty Bluefleck by Selound.png
Go to the very top of your dispay where your username and avatar picture are displayed very tiny in the upper right-hand corner. Hover (DO NOT CLICK!) over this image, then scroll down the drop-down menu that appears until you find "My Preferences". Click on that.
Scroll down the page that comes up until you find the box labeled custom signature, and click on this box to add text to it.
Lord TBT only allows signatures that are in the following format. Begin by deciding if you want your sig in italics, bold, or both. If you want it in italics, begin by typing two apostrophes ( '' ) in the box. If you want it bold, type three apostrophes. If you want it both bold and italic, type five apostrophes. Do not use quote marks because it will cause a hiccup.
Next, type two hyphens ( -- ). (I use italic as example): ''--
(NOTE: If you skip this step, your sig will be default color, which is blue with white background. Also, if you skip this step, you will be able to add a longer quote at the end of your sig. ) Now we pick a color. Type the following after the two hyphens -  . Colors that are available for use are Black, Turquoise, Blue, White, Red, Pink, Green, Yellow, Orange, Tomato, Magenta, Silver, Gold (these are NOT metallic!) Grey, Navy, Chartreuse (bright green), Purple, Violet (bright purple), and Brown. Also, those are quote marks, not apostrophes, in the code for the color. Sometimes it glitches and the color gets stuck on blue, so be prepared for that.
Next, type two brackets ( [[) the words User:Lord Highcliffe, a vertical bar ( | ), and whatever name you want visible, e.g. Highliffe. Follow this by two brackets that face the other way. ([[). Your signature now should look something like this - ''-- [[User:Lord Highcliffe|Highcliffe]].
Now we add the picture. After the two left-facing brackets ( ]] ), Type two right-facing ones. ( [[ ), and then add the filename of the picture by copying and pasting it into the box. After that, type another vertical bar, and the word 50px. (THIS IS ESSENTIAL. If you fail to add that word, the picture will be huge and LordTBT will delete your signature. ) Wind that up with two left-facing brackets. Your signature now should read something like ''-- [[User:Lord Highcliffe|Highcliffe]][[File:MyPic.jpg|50px]].
Now we add your quote/saying. If you want this quote any other color than blue on white, repeat step 6 for the next segment. Your signature would then look something like this - ''-- [[User:Lord Highcliffe|Highcliffe]][[File:MyPic.jpg|50px]] .
Choose a quote that represents you, ideally 5 to eight words. Type the quote. Wind it all up by typing this -  , followed by two apostrophes.

''-- [[User:Lord Highcliffe|Highcliffe]][[File:MyPic.jpg|50px]] Hi There! ''

You're done! When you save your signature, and use it, it will look something like this -- HighcliffeFile:Martin.jpg Hi there!
