Over the past few months, I've been asked about my signature that I use here on ACTIVE RAIN, so I thought I'd write a little post and share it with you. I'm sure there are probably more sites that provide "signatures," but the one I use is easy, and I LIKE EASY. Here goes...

1. Go to MYLIVESIGNATURE
2. Register, it's FREE & EASY
3. Now LOGINusing your new username and password
4. Click on START NOW to begin designing your own special signature
5. You'll be given the following choices:

	Using the signature creation wizard Select this method if you want to get an imitation of your signature. You will have to enter the name of the signature, select the handwriting that suits you from the offered list, specify the size, color and slope of the signature and it will be ready! View examples
	Draw a signature straight to the screen Select this method if you want to draw your signature by hand/mouse directly to the screen of your computer. This is a fun and easy way to make your own signature. You can use a mouse-pen to go over an existing signature and replicate it too.
	Using a scanned image Select this method if you want to get an exact copy of your signature. You will have to write your signature on a sheet of paper, scan it and send it to us. Our designers will process the image in a short period of time and use it to create a signature for you. View examples

If I chose to DRAW my signature, here is what my "K" would look like.

• Instead, I chose to use the signature creation WIZARD since I'm not so creative with my mouse and drawing freehand.
• Once your signature is done, you'll be given the following two choices of Generating signature codes

You can use your signatures however and wherever you want to.
To add the signature to your email messages, to your posts on forums, to blogs, on websites, you should generated a special code to be inserted.
Our code generation wizards will help you with it:

	Generate HTML code Select this wizard if you want to generate a HTML code. HTML code is used for adding signatures to e-mail messages, blogs, websites.
	Generate BB code Select this wizard if you want to generate a BB code. BB code is used for adding signatures to forums.

To download a signature to your computer for future use, right-click the signature and select «Save Picture As...»

Once Im done, when I am posting or commenting, I CUT AND PASTE my signature from a prior post , and place it where I want.

and it's that easy...

signed, your friend,

UPDATE: I should have explained better HOW I INSERT MY SIGNATURE INTO NEW POSTS I WRITE. Here's what I do:

1. AFTER DESIGNING YOUR SIGNATURE AND GETTING YOUR CODE
2. GO TO YOUR AR BLOG PAGE AND UNDER "SETTINGS" ADD IT WHERE YOU WISH--SAVE
3. WHEN I AM DONE WRITING A POST, I GO TO A PRIOR POST AND

This is a topic that people don't want to think about, but not talking or thinking about it, doesn't make it disappear. The topic is FIRE.

By the year 2014, old, wood shake roofs MUST be replaced. Gone. History. As everyone in the nation knows, Lake Arrowhead and all of the San Bernardino Mountains have had their share of fires; the last being OCTOBER 2007, The Grass Fire. Though that fire, or prior fires during the last decade, may not have been caused by shake roofs, old shake-roofs are like matchsticks waiting to ignite. When most of our charming mountain cabins (homes) were constructed way-back-when, these shakes roofs fit the "mountain style." However, there's no style worth risking your house being in harms way during a blazing, Southern California fire.

On September 23, 2008, The SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS' meeting addressed the shake roof issue. They proposed that by the 2014, home owners within the FIRE OVERLAY SAFETY AREA must have their old, shake roofs replaced by roofs with a minimum Class A fire rating roof.

This ORDINANCE WILL become effective by January 2009. If you'd like to attend future meetings regarding this issue or others, CLICK HERE for dates and times.

This post deals strictly with ARROWHEAD WOODS statistics as compared quarterly to the prior year's activity. This report is for single-family residences only and does not include lakefront homes, condos or lots. We are tracking information regarding new listings and properties sold. We are also looking at some of the averages - days on market and the list to sale percentages.

Though new listings were up, as was the median list price, the number of sales were down and the median sales price was WAY down (this tells me that the lower end of the market is where the deals are being done in '08). Days on market are slightly down and the list-to-sale percentage is down less than a half a percent.
