Hello again fellow local guides,
I'm really excited to share this update with you. I've made a signature generator for LGC that will available within the app. I hope the update/draft will be available for all at end of this week.
any local guides lvl5 can generate his/her signature without any extra skills 😉

Lately, I've been working on a personal project which is a directory for us local guides. it's an app for local guides who want to be found/listed by their cities.
it's a very basic app that doesn't require email address or phone number. it show you a simple search result with links to your social profiles which you can include them through your account settings. Your profile will be by default private & not listed in the search results till you make it public. the results are pulled from the public profiles of the app users itself.
here a preview:
Login screen

add to Home screen
I would like to have your opinions on a such app. Sorry, I will not share it with you till I fix some bugs, add terms of use & privacy policy to it and have your opinions.
important points:
- This app is a personal project & developed by me.
- This app is NOT sponsored/supported by Google/Local Guides team.
- This app require an authentication through your Google account.
- I will never ask for your email/phone number or any special permissions, just the minimal for the integrity of data in the app.
This is a great idea. It will be nice to connect with other local guides and the app will make this happen. Kudos..looking forward to using it soon.

The signature generator is online give it a try. Please save your current signature, before pasting the generated code, in a safe place like Google Keep in case you didn't like it.
For my signature, I host my images on Google Photo or Google+ and I will show you how can benefit from Google system that serve images on Google infrastructures:
First create a separate album for your signature images, click on the image to zoom it then move the mouse to put the cursor over the image and hit the right click on your mouse you will have this: (I'm using Google Chrome on PC)
Choose "Copy image address". now you can use it with generator and fix the size in the generator. or you can edit yourself the copied link a little bit to resize or crop your image to match the size you want.
the copied URL has this structure:
https://lhX.googleusercontent.com/XXXXXXXXXX=wXXX-hXXX-no
all you need is to modify the part in red color & here how: the best height for you signature is 27 pixels (17 pixels for in text alignment otherwise your text will be pushed to the bottom). You need just to replace "wXXX-hXXX-no" with "h27" (h: height 27: 27 pixels) or "h27-c" (c: crop / for square image) (advanced documentation here)
https://lhX.googleusercontent.com/XXXXXXXXXX=h27
https://lhX.googleusercontent.com/XXXXXXXXXX=h27-c
that's all, I hope this mini advanced tutorial is clear & helpful
if you have any question don't hesitate, I'm here to help 🙂

Hi @khammami I just seen your post above there but already uploaded my country flag maybe you could take a look at it or my profile and tell me if I need to do anything, kind regards
@DavidTito
Hi @DavidTito, as you have seen I made a tool to generate HTML code for signatures & simulate it.
here a sample with URL for your flag from internet:
<span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left"><img src="https://effyeblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/australian-flag.gif" width="53" alt="Perth"></span>
for your signature, you're using an image with transparent space around the flag, try to use another one without anything around for better resizing.
there is a lot of easy tutorials here on Connect if find mine little difficult.

ok does that mean I have to start from scratch again? @DavidTito
anyway you need to upload another image as I told you without space around the flag.
the sample code above is generated from my tool you can modify just src of the image with your image URL (right click on your image then "Copy image address") and change the width.
updated
@DavidTito I've uploaded your flag to my Google photos, replace your signature code with this one:
