On sigs, It's always better to have it wider than tall. No one likes really tall sigs because they take up so much room. We actually do have sig size limits on these forums but it's so hard to enforce with so many members and so many who don't know how to resize images.

When creating a new image in Photoshop you'll get the screen that pops up asking how big you want it.

The "Width" is how wide it is and the "Height" is how tall. When I make a sig my usual size is 300 X 100. And always make sure your in pixels and not inches or else it will be huge.
