I’ve actually had blinkies on my site for years. A lot of people like to have their signatures at the end of their post. This is the reason why I created them before. They are your normal signature, or for some of us, we call them siggies. I just didn’t realize that since my site revamp in 2013, I forgot to put the blinkies page back in the resource section of Blondish.net.
In fact, a lot of things are being put back up slowly, and because of the changes, some of the organization has been changed. Recently, I was approached by a long time reader, one I’ve known since 2003 that asked where my blinkie signatures were located. I was embarrassed to find out that I had forgotten to put them back up. So now they are back up. 🙂
All of the personalized blinkie signtures are cute, and cater to females. Sorry guys, when I first created them, most of the people I visited were women. And frankly, I see signatures mostly on women’s sites or their profiles in forums.
Here are some examples:
Right now, there are over 600 of them available. If you use any, please save them to your computer. No direct linking. Some people have violated this and got a rude image to replace what they direct linked. I wouldn’t recommend putting a whole bunch of these together for your signature. I’ve seen people do that and it kind of gets gaudy and might mess with someone’s eyes. In fact, that’s a big reason why at one point that it wasn’t acceptable… people were overusing them.
I haven’t added to the Blondish.net resource section in some time and I couldn’t find any posts mentioning that they were available, so I think it’s high time to tell the world. I do plan to add in the future, as time allows.
Hi Nile,
Certainly a good idea, only if it would suite your design and give good user experience. Many times, it gives cheap and negative impression to your visitors.
Yeah, not so sure I’ll be adding that to my firm’s website. Definitely more of a feminine appearance.
ROFL…. I know right! That’s why I put up the warning. These came from a long time ago. I promise when I put out my free themes and some of the other planned freebie graphics, there will be quite a few ones for anyone to use. 🙂
Hi Nile,
That’s a great idea! blinkies can attract users and design in your blog, but one thing I want to remind you that putting blinkies too much is also not good for your blog. You can use it wisely that good in our sight and I like to add one blinkie on my blog. Thanks Nile I appreciate your post.
I said that in my post about warning people about excessive use of blinkies.
These are indeed cute blingies! I was hoping I would find my name there, I did find a “cherry” though and I think it’s awesome. So you did all 637 of those? Wow, how long did it take you to make all those?
lol… I can’t remember. I did all of those when I was just a stay at home mom and married. They did take a while though.
I’ll see about putting your name in my next batch… which will be a new style. 🙂
I really like all your blinkie signtures. They are so cute. Can you mention few tools to create blinkie? Thanks for the great share.
Blinkie Signature is very new for me that I have ever read. But I have to say that its so interesting and also your blinkie signature is so good. But I want some detailed information about it. Will you?
I had bump into a site which do the same.. but I have to try this one to know the difference and what additional could it give.
Nice blinkies.I know a few sites that create those. i also create mine with a gif creator software 😉
These all are really nice signature. Cute and catchy. I will go for making one for me.
Hello Nile, they’re kind of cute, but the blinking annoys my eyes, it always has. I understand they attract people’s attention, but they make me want to get away from them. I’m sure I’m in the minority.
