Anybody willing to help me integrate a logo into an email signature? It seems pretty simple but I just wanted to make sure to do it in such a way that would work across most email platforms.

In that case, use text. No, just use text anyway.

images in email signatures == ANNOYING.

don't do it.

also, always use plain text.

This is probably a bad idea, but to insert an image, just use:

<img src="annoyingsignature.jpg" />

idk... if you keep it simple and not gaudy (99% of html signatures i've seen are both complicated and gaudy), it can work

i rather like mine:


(obviously blurred, but you get the point)

but yes, it's annoying as shit if you do it inappropriately... i only use it for outgoing external emails, and only for the first message. internal stuff and replies get just a simple 2 line plaintext signature.

build it in word
save as html

^what he said

many people in the business realm use some sort of rich text email editor. sometimes it really helps just to be able to bold text or underline text for clarity and formatting.

i also agree though, not to use images.

most of the time simple color change or bold font in the signature helps dress it up, and will easily look just as nice in plain text without any tags

I like my html sig.

i will have to dig up some emails from real estate agents to show you what NOT to do... hopefully, hilarity will ensue.

here's my email signature:

Looks like I'll stay away from images in my signature. One more question, kind of related to the first:

Any ideas on how to insert a picture into a craigslist ad? I've tried the simple <img src="picture"> tag to try to link an ad created as a picture file. I was trying to make an ad for our organization stand out by creating it as an image but it didn't work. It came up fine in Firefox when saved as an HTML file but wouldn't work on craigslist. In fact, it said it posted but just didn't show up in the posted jobs. I don't know if HTML is prohibited in craigslist, but maybe one of you could give me an idea of how to make it work if possible.

any ideas?

It's only tasteful to put email signatures if you're the first person on a thread.

6/7/2008 2:08:09 PM

I agree. My reply emails don't have the html sig, just text.

6/7/2008 5:00:41 PM

My signature is a solid page long..

It's required though when I send out quotes and shit like that though (and everything in it is useful information..not pictures or anything like that)

This reminds me of the ridiculous email signatures people in student government use.
