Siggy challenges anyone?

ShePersisted

We used to do this regularly on my last BMB so think it might be fun to make it a tradition. We can start from the month of May with voting for themes now.  I actually have forgotten how to get my siggy updated with a gif or meme so if anyone has instructions please share.

What would we like the first siggy challenge to be about? I am thinking...

- Soppy mothers day

- Feeling energized (cause we will all eventually be entering 2nd trimester in that month)

- May flower show

-Describe yourself with a Meme or Gif

av2323

I'm in.  My vote is the describe yourself with a meme or gif.

NYTino24

Count me in! How about Mother's Day Fails?

adirat

I like it! This was always lots of fun on TTGP. 

I second @av2323 's suggestion since we're still all getting to know each other - describe yourself with a meme or gif!

DuchessOfCambridge

I'll play too! I'm up for describe yourself with a meme/gif. Maybe we could have it be just for the rest of April as an intro siggy challenge and then do something Mother's Day related for May? Because I like the sound of Mother's Day fails too!

mariposa_767s

I'm in!  I don't care what the theme is. It sounds fun no matter which way we go

av2323

Mother's Day fails sounds pretty awesome.  I'm with @DuchessOfCambridge. We could finish out April describing ourselves and switch to fails in May.

emucoleman

Yay! Sounds fun. I don't care what we do. 

JDW0325

I'm in for whatever!

I like @DutchessOfCambridge and @av2323. Describe yourself in April and May is Mother's Day Fails. 

TeacherMama7

Sounds fun. This is silly but what's a siggy?

ShePersisted

@TeacherMama7Siggy is short form for signature. You can edit the bump signature to actually show a specific meme or gif every time you post something.

So the question is - does anyone have instructions for everyone to update their siggy's. I will try to look for it on the bump forums but if anyone has a link that would be awesome!

DuchessOfCambridge

To add a signature: Go to account preferences (the little person icon in the upper right corner of the page), signature settings, copy your gif/meme link, use the picture icon to enter the image link and save and done.

Let me know if that didn't make sense, but here's a practice one for me, I may change the gif just can't think right now haha.

Update: not a gif/meme but a picture that describes me pretty well

ElizabethSchuyler

In! I like the idea of a GTKY for a siggy.

ShePersisted

Awesome @duchessofcambridge !!

Now the hunt for the perfect gif begins!

So it is settled then, we will use the theme 'describe yourself' for the remaining month of April and then in May we change it to 'mothers day fails'

Look forward to seeing everyone's Siggys! Yeah

I think people have already started uploading their siggys but hope mine is showing as im
mobile. 

elsieisamoocow

I'm in! If I can ever remember to get on my computer and bump

kissthesky32

This is my first post-bedtime activity 

jess0211

Can someone remind me how to add a gif to my siggy? apparently I forgot.

ETA Never mind! I got it. Now if i could just remember how to make it smaller.

cmessamore

@elsieisamoocow me too! I never use my computer to bump!  I'll have to figure it out tonight! 

adirat

Is mine totally enormous? Anyone know how to resize the image smaller?

kissthesky32

Does tinypic work for gifs?

jess0211

@adirat dammit! I wish I had used that one! SO perfect! You win already in my book.

@NYTino24 I love your pics, but I'm guessing you're a Yankees fan and that means we probably can't be friends anymore. Well, at least I have @ugoglencoco to watch the Red Sox with!! Lol!! 

NYTino24

@cmessamore You are correct! I cried at the Yankeeography: Derek Jeter the other night. I had a rough childhood and watching them made me feel like anything was possible. I met Tino on the day of my wedding shower. He was the nicest guy ever! I wanna go to Cooperstown when DJ gets inducted. PS if you don't hold it against me, I won't call you the m word!  PS I married a Mets fan!

cmessamore

@NYTino24 Alright, we'll keep our baseball loves out of this! Lol! My oldest son is named Jason after Jason Varitek and his middle name is Evans after Dwight Evans! My second is Nolan after Nolan Ryan (though not a Red Sox player, just a legend) and my 8 month old is Dustin after Dustin Pedroia....soooooo I'm kind of obsessed with the Red Sox and baseball in general! The ambulance company I work for covers Fenway Park and sometimes I get to be the EMT there!! I love it there, it's my haven! And Cooperstown is amazing!! Definitely go see it!!! 

NYTino24

@cmessamore I am really trying hard to get DH to let me name this baby Derek if it's a boy since it goes well with his first name (traditionally boys get their dad's first name as a middle name) and our last name. I've thrown out Shea for his Mets representation. It could be used for a unisex first or middle name. 

cmessamore

lol shhh I actually think Derek Jeter is a class act and I have no problem with him whatsoever! Plus, Derek and Shea are really cool names! 

DuchessOfCambridge

Mine, in non-signature format. Sorry it's huge I don't know how to resize! It's an actress I love (Italia Ricci) at her wedding eating a Big Mac while her husband presents her with another. She's all dressed up and eating McDonalds which are two of my favorite things!

cmessamore

@DuchessOfCambridge that is my life. I love it!! 

ugoglencoco

@cmessamore I'm totally obsessed with your kids names!! I wanted to name ds1 Beckett but DH wasn't in. At least I got my Brady for #2! DH was joking last night I'd this is a girl we should name her Gisele but that's going a little too far, although it would be hilarious. And I agree, @NYTino24 I've always thought Derek Jeter was a class act and I think Shea is an awesome name! 

cmessamore

Oooh!! I love the name Beckett!! And I still want this one to be named Brady if it's a boy, but DH feels it's too popular in our area.

ugoglencoco

It is definitely more popular around us too. Believe it or not there are more kids in our schools named Brady than Anthony (ds1's name)

kissthesky32

@adirat You totally win. Love it! And I also love that it's huge. Because it needs to be huge.

ETA: I knew I had seen that before! I saved a shirt version of the same thing from FB to use at an undetermined point when snark was needed

mariposa_767s

I can't get mine to work. I've pasted it into the photo thing but it won't attach.

NYTino24

@cmessamore My one year old nephew is named Brady and yes, his dad is a P fan living in AZ.

Did you post the link to the gif or did you try and copy/paste the gif? You need to do the link and then paste that address into the picture box on the editing toolbar.
