| This is what my map looks like now:  This is what I plan for my map to look like by September:  Planning a trip to Metropolis, IL in May and plan to cross the river into KY while I'm there. I'm about 2 hours away from IA and NE and just have never gotten around to riding there yet. I've got a ride planned into OK during the STO this year so I'm gonna try and add 5 states to my map this year! Thanks JeffR for posting this site. Really appreciate it. |

It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to Tennessee.
Sorry for the confusion.

I believe it is the same way as my wife's MacBook Pro ... use two fingers simultaneously (same as right click)._________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire  |

| I have noticed that no one has listed Michigan as a place visited. I'm not concerned. You are following the wisdom of our pioneer ancestors who must have encountered the first swamps and mosquitoes and said this ain't the right place, then headed back south and then west. Pioneers had wisdom. In modern times you will encounter rough roads and chilly winds. There is much more favorable territory to explore in this great country. I live here and have no money to move so I do like to hear about your travels ... and dream. |

If you're interested, I can host the image for you. Please check this thread's posts on February 13, when another member was attempting to do the same as you. Once you're comfortable with the process, you can either host the image elsewhere or leave it on my site. The file size is so small that it's not an issue from my perspective. |

CathyN, I overlooked your post from a couple months back. Sorry, didn't mean to exclude you from my offer to matthew (February 13 post) and SamHouston73 (June 19 post). If you send me your map, I'll host it and send you the URL to include in your signature. |

You're welcome and I'm glad to help! Your map is ready to go. I copied the language to another user for instructions on how to insert the image in your signature, so if this post looks familiar...
Received your e-mail and attached map image file. If you add this to your signature...
[~img]http://mysite.verizon.net/vze13k4kc/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/VisitedStatesSamHouston73.jpg[/img]
it should appear on your posts. Please note the tilde (squiggly thing that looks like ~ ) between the opening bracket "[" and the letter "i" in img]. I put the tilde there to prevent your map from appearing in my post rather than the characters of the map's web address. On your signature box, delete the tilde ~ so the opening bracket is next to the "i" in the web address. It should look exactly as it does above except for the tilde.
I was able to preview this post before inserting the tilde, and your map image appeared on my preview screen. Your map should not appear on this post. By the way, welcome to the site! |

| SamHouston73: I use photobucket.com to host my pic and they have some tools that allow you to modify the picture and that's how I've done it. However, you can always just go to the site and make a new map when it changes and update your links. |

Looks great! When you update the map, send the new file to the same e-mail address. Updating the current file by overwriting it with your new file takes only a few seconds. |

| By going back and reading the original posts, it sounds like you can set it up any way you want. I think most people include any state where they have ridden a motorcycle. not just the Silverwing. Has anyone ridden in all 50 states? |

| Heh, think I voted all by myself. It was just too busy with the other two, and besides, I have more than a dozen countries in Europe and even Afghanistan that I couldn't put up there too.  |

| I believe the intent was states (territories, provinces, countries, etc.) where one has ridden the Silverwing or motorcylce. I've been to quite a few exotic locales while in the employ of my uncle, but only rode a motorbike in one of them.
Have ridden the north shore of the UP of Michigan (rode through Marquette) on a Honda Reflex while riding the Lake Superior Circle tour. |

| And that's what I was talking about. That's what my map shows and what the two I dropped would show. If I did a map of Europe it would also show where I've ridden a motorcycle. The picture above shows me about to take a spin in Afghanistan. I settled on just what states I've ridden in though as anything else is just too busy for a signature. If I was to show merely what states I've been to it would show the entire lower 48. |

| I was helping someone to setup their United States map. From " Profile" button Click " Signature" Click " Host an image button" - I logged in uploaded the image In the " Edit signature" box I added the URL from the upload for the Image [~img]http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/13/84/20/85/11072211.jpg[/img] Remove the "~" above. When I previewed the signature everything worked ... except when I posted a test. From " Profile" button Click " Preferences" Click " Always attach my signature :" to " Yes" Then the posts successfully showed the map below:  _________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire  |

I have been through Michigan twice on bikes. Camped in the UP and went accross the long bridge (name lost in memries) Mackinac ???? While there I had a confusing vegetable for a day untill I stopped and asked. "What are deer carrots???? " I had raised several varieties but not those. hahaha |
