I guessing this is too late but anyway . . .

Do you use Windows? If so there is a program called Front Page Express that come with windows that is a visual WYSISYG (What you see is what you get) editor, similar to a desk top publisher (not quite the same but it’s a decent analogy) You can use this to add tables, with borders and graphics etc.

You need a basic understanding of HTML to use it. But you should be able to generate a half-decent page if you are used to using word etc.  
If you don’t have this installed (Start\>Programs\>Accessories\>Internet Tools) you can install it from Add remove Programs (Under the control panel) Choose Windows Set-up, then click on Internet tools and click Details. Check the Front Page Express box and click OK - You will need your Windows CD.

If you don’t use windows you can probably download a decent editor for your OS.

There are lots of good web design and HTML tutorials on the net too, it’s worth having a search and taking a look.

Hope this helps.

It’s true, I wonder why though? I guess the sig is stored against your profile and there’s a boolean ‘Sig’ field against each post, and if thats true your sig is parsed at the end of the post . . .

I wonder why that way was chosen rather than adding the text to teh end of each post hmmmm . . .
