How to make a PC sig in Outlook Express Hotmail and Yahooo


 This info came from this MSNGroup:

http://groups.msn.com/sunnyhoneydesign/usingsigsinhotmail.msnw

Which hasn't seen much activity this year. So I grabbed the info while it was in front of me.

I do not claim any of this at all, as my work. it flat out IS NOT. I did not write it. I am just preserving the info while it's up.



Sigs In Hotmail

1.
Store the signature you wish to use in an album in MSN Groups

2.
Open your hotmail account.    

3.
Make sure your rich text editor is set to off.    

4.
At the top of your hotmail you will see a tool bar. Click on options.    

5.
Under "additional options"...Click on signature.

6.
This is where you need your signature url....

If your signature is in a photo album
Right click on your signature image.
Go to properties.
Highlight the url
(be sure to get the whole thing as it scrolls down these are long urls)
Then right click on it and copy.

In the signature box type in 


NOTE: There was blank image boxes on the board. I doubt anyone could see them but her. It was the usual:

<<>img src="http://www.URL.jpg" width ="?" height="?"<>>

Only a bit different. 1ST time I've seen the width & height split up like this?

Also note that you need the url of the image only. No building a webpage in your sig box which is fine.


<<>IMG height=32 src="http://groups.msn.com/SunnyHoneyDesign/url" width=28<>>  

Then paste in the url between the quotation marks like this:

<<>IMG height=32 src="http://groups.msn.com/SunnyHoneyDesign/mysig.gif" width=28<>>


8. 
After you have your address (she meant URL not email address) pasted in the box.
Click Okay.

9. 
When you compose your emails be sure to check the box that says:
Rich Text Editor On.




YAHOO MAIL

1.
Click on the Options/Signature - then type in the HTML code you want to use,click save.(there is a VIEW HTML spot where you can see how it will look.)

2.
Make sure that everything is in place and then click 'Always add to e-mails' Or while e-mailing, you can check the 'Add signature' box. (you wont see it when you're sending the e-mails, but if you send one to yourself, you'll see what it looks like.
