To upload your sig graphic to POF...

Proceed to the Gallery, you can upload images to your own "gallery" folder/profile, and link to them in your sig.
The image hosting/posting guide outlines this, the same method can be used for your sig. The section regarding image hosting "Gallery" covers it.

One for Partners In Crime, what do we need to do?
lol...im confused, forgive me if I sound like a noob
Now... if you mean just host your sig graphic of choice. You can edit/create your graphic image with your preferred graphic editor, upload to POF gallery, and use the link provided to insert the image in your accounts signature.

Do you mean similar to the guildlaunch signature you have now? (or like mine) where stats can be updated on a site/database and automatically displayed on a sig image?

The way I do it requires a webhost/server that supports:
PHP (image processing libraries must be available).
MySQL or some form of database to store data.
Ability to create a world writeable folder for caching information.
External linking (its hosted on your webserver, not POF).
Ample Bandwidth/traffic at its disposal (can generate alot of requests/bandwidth on your host/server).

You are also going to have to have a webmaster with the know how.
Knowledge of PHP, MySql, etc and how to put it together is simple for some of us pirates with propellers on our heads, but not to everyone.
