The BOINC project news signature image generator takes the latest news from
the most popular BOINC science projects and generates an image containing
that news. Its the same news you see displayed on the Project news
page on this website. You can display the image that YOU designed in
your forum signature or any website. Once
you program the options for the type, project, colour and number of news items,
a code is generated just below the image and you can simply copy the code for
the image you programmed.
You can select news from all BOINC projects, a single project or you can tick
boxes to select your own specific group of projects (Very handy to exclude
news from projects you're not interested in!). There are several different
background colours to
choose from and you can choose to display 1, 2 or 3
news items. Displaying 3 news items in the image looks great but the image is quite large
and you might prefer to keep the image smaller by selecting just 1 or 2 news items.
Important note; Worth noting that the most active image that will change most frequently will be
if you select "Type 1" and "All BOINC projects" or "Type 2" and
a very large collection of single
projects. Some projects produce regular daily or weekly news but other projects
might not produce news for a long time. The image is updated every 3 hours
regardless.
This is a great way to get the very latest news from your favourite
projects and display the news on the forums and websites you visit. Its also
a great way to promote your favourite BOINC projects. Just think it is a whole lot easier to post the
news on forums rather than make a bunch of custom t-shirts and spread the word that way.
