I would like to place one of those colorful, bragging maps but can't figure out how to do it. Any help?

I also would like to know how to post the "good sam" map in the signature area. I see no one has replied to this post. Any one out there that knows?

Here are instructions I put in a WP doc some time ago when I created mine:
Create your Visited States Map.
1. Go to http://www.epgsoft.com/VisitedStatesMap/.
2. Select the states you have visited.
3. Set the map size to small, since RV.net forums limit images sizes to 100 pixels in height.
4. Set the file format to GIF or JPEG (JPEG files look better).
5. Create the map.
6. Once it appears, save it by right clicking on it and selecting Save Picture As... (remember where you save it).
Add the map to your signature.
6. Go to the RV.net forum.
7. Login if you aren't already (click Login Here at the top of the page).
7. Click on My Forums at the top of the page.
8. Click on My Preferences.
9. Go to the line titled Signature Picture and click on Browse...
10. Select the file containing the map that you saved in step 6 and click Open.
11. Click on Submit Changes at the bottom of the page.
That's it. Now everyone can see where you've been. To update the map at any time, just repeat the steps above.
Hope this helps and is still valid.

Here is the tutorial, written by the person who provides the web site where you create the map.
Add a Visited States Map to your signature
The tutorial has an active link to the site.

Thanks so much Chris! As you can see, it totally worked. Now I have to get busy and camp in more states!

Having checked Pulsar’s post, I see I should have given Egrove credit for the text of mine. That’s obviously where I got it. I tend to create WP docs for info of this sort rather than noting particular threads in particular forums. Later, I don’t recall where I got them.
Anyway, all's well that ends well.
