I hope you don't mind but I found your question and was wondering the same thing. I followed the link posted by Sandy and wanted to see if mine worked as well.
Follow the ticker factory link that is in Sandy's post. It will ask you to pick a ticker and then a marker and then a date and title for your event. At the end it will give you a choice between two different types of links in boxes(I think- I am not really that computer savvy ) I picked the first one and highlighted it and then right clicked on it to copy it. Then you go to where your signature and profile are edited and paste that link where your signature is edited. I believe those are the steps I followed yesterday. I hope that is how it is supposed to work. Maybe there is a way simpler way to do it. Hopefully this will help a little. Good luck!
