How To

Embed A Sig.

For WebTV Email






I have written this page to help webtver's write an email sig at Tripod and Embed it in their signature box.

There are several advantages to doing this and now appears to be the only way to have images and sound in your sigs.

You will always have a sig stored and ready to use without taking up saved mail space.

Your mail will load faster,too.

OK....Let's get started.Login at Tripod.

When you are in your housekeeper..
Click on"Create A Custom Page"

Name it something.html
Click"Use This Filename"

On Next page..Click on the Edit Box
With cursor at the top of the box start your coding with your opening html and write your sig just like you would in your webtv sig box.
When finished Click "Use This HTML"

This will take you to a page that will have a link to it.

Click on the link and you have your sig to embed.
C/C/P this by pressing the go to key and clicking on show current.
Then CMD A and CMD C.

Now go to your sig. box.
Put your opening html at the very top per usual
body bgcolor="bgcolor of sig background" text="color of text in sig"
(Don't forget your brackets)
Embed src="URL OF SIG"
(bracket before embed and after SIG")
Close your body and html tags and your sig is ready.


You can only do this with solid backgrounds. Image backgrounds will not work.
Who needs them anyway. Most of them take too long to load and then the text doesn't show clearly.


I don't know for sure if this is within Tripods TOS. You won't be linking to anything so I don't think it violates anything.

Good Luck and have fun making signatures for your email.

I hope this has helped.
