For images that will go out with every e-mail you send you put the codes in the signature box. The code will stay in your signature box until you change or erase it.
Here are the steps to put your own personal "signature" in your email.
Always remember there is only one (html) tag at the very beginning of your code and only one (/html) tag at the very end to stop your code.
No matter how many images, banners, calling cards, sounds links or text you put in your sig box NEVER put more than one of each of (html)
or (/html) into your whole code.
1. TO PLACE AN IMAGE IN YOUR EMAIL SIG BOX
(This image will appear in every e-mail you send)
1A. TO PLACE AN IMAGE IN A SINGLE E-MAIL
2. TO ADD A LINK TO YOUR EMAIL SIG
3. TO ADD BOTH AN IMAGE & A LINK
4. TO ADD TEXT TO YOUR SIG
5. TO ADD A CORNER BACKGROUND
6. TO ADD A FULL BACKGROUND TO YOUR SIG
7. CORNER BACKGROUND & IMAGE & LINK CODE
In all html examples I had to use ( ) instead of the greater than and lesser than symbols ><, so the code would show up on this page. You will need to repace all the ( with <, and ( with the other less than sign.(if I type the symbol here everything will disappear between it and the last < sign I used.)
When writing html code there is always a space between img and src
and between a and href. It
doesn't always show when typed...the computer tends to move down a
line after typing (img or (a so you can't really see that there is
always a space there. It should look like this (img src="
or
(a href=".
1. TO PLACE AN IMAGE IN YOUR EMAIL SIG BOX
(A) Go to your mail page.
(B) Click on settings on the left sidebar.
(C) Click on signature....this will bring you to the page containing the "box" where you will put the codes. Anything you put in this box will appear in every e-mail you send from now on.
(D) First you must put in your opening html code:
(html)
Always make sure your code is put at the very top
of the signature box.
(The tag (html) must be the very first thing in the box, nothing
else before it, not even blank space.)
(E) Here is where you put what ever you want to appear in your emails. If you are just putting one image here is the code you would use.... starting under the (html) you already put up.
(img src="http://URL OF YOUR IMAGE HERE")
If this is all you are adding just put your closing tag next. ( /html) The code in your sig box should look like this......
(html)
(img src="https://members.tripod.com/~stormyday/images/cat.gif")
(/html)
(F) If you wish to put more than one image or add some text just add the next items before putting on the closing (/html). No matter how many things you add to your sig box you will only use one (html) at the very top and one (/html) at the bottom. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
1A. TO ADD AN IMAGE TO A SINGLE E-MAIL.
If you want to send an image to just one person you would put the code right on the page where you write your e-mail. Starting your code at the very top....remember not even a space before you begin the code...here is the code:
(html)
Write your e-mail here
(img
src="http://Addy of graphic here")
(/html)
If you would prefer to have the image above what you write just write your e-mail after the image tag instead of above it.
2. TO ADD A LINK TO YOUR EMAIL SIGNATURE
(A) To add a link to your home page or any other page use this code, putting in the URL of the page you want people to be able to go to, and the words you want to appear in your email for people to click on. This example uses the URL to my web page and invites people to visit me there.
(html)
(a href="https://www.angelfire.com/sd/tetons")
VISIT SUMMERSTORM'S MOUNTAIN CABIN(/a)
(/html)
3. TO ADD BOTH IMAGE AND LINK TO E-MAIL SIG
(A) To put both a image and a link on your page the code would look like this:
(html)
(img
src="https://members.tripod.com/~stormyday/images/cat.gif")
(p)
(a href="https://www.angelfire.com/sd/tetons")
VISIT SUMMERSTORM'S MOUNTAIN CABIN(/a)
(/html)
(B) Notice I put a (p) after the code for the image. That tells the computer to start a new line and to skip a space. By using the (p) the writing "VISIT SUMMERSTORM'S MOUNTAIN CABIN" will apear under the image.
4. TO ADD TEXT TO YOUR SIG
You can also write a message to appear on each email....your name...a favorite quote etc. Just start with your (html) tag. Like this:
(html)
The Best Things In Life Aren't Things!
(/html)
5.TO ADD A CORNER BACKGROUND TO YOUR SIG
Have you seen those cute little top, right hand corner, images on
peoples email? Here is the code to put one on your e-mail page.
(First you have to get the url of a corner email background, you
can't use just any image.)
(html)
(body
background="https://members.tripod.com/~cloudgazer/images/bb.gif"
bgcolor="black" text="87CEFA")
(/html)
(A) You must put it right under the (html) tag since it is a whole
page image...not just the corner image. You put in the URL of the
corner image background you want after (body background="URL"
(B) Next you put the color you want the background to be under
bgcolor= and then the color you want your text to be under text=">
Always e-mail yourself to make sure everything is working right. (The top corner image will
not show up while you are writing the email but
it will appear when it is sent.)
(C) Be sure and leave a space between the words body and background in your code.
6. TO ADD A FULL BACKGROUND TO YOUR SIG
To add a background that will cover your entire email page use this code:
(html)
(body background=
"http://the background URL here" text="blue")
(/html)
For the color you can also use the hex color code
like.... text="#0000FF">
This will give you the background of your choice and you can write
in any color you choose.
7. CORNER BACKGROUND & IMAGE & LINK CODE
Here is what the code would look like to have a corner background with a second image and a link to your home page:
(html)
(body
background="https://members.tripod.com/~cloudgazer/images/bb.gif"
bgcolor="black" text="87CEFA")
(img
src="https://members.tripod.com/~stormyday/images/rose.
gif")(p)
(a href="https://www.angelfire.com/sd/tetons")
VISIT SUMMERSTORM'S MOUNTAIN CABIN(/a)
(/html)
(A)Using this code I get a beautiful bluebird in the top right hand corner on a black background with a large pink rose on the lower left and the invitation to visit my web site written in light blue under the rose. It is really quite beautiful!!!
You can be as creative as you wish but always keep in mind that the more things you have in your "sig" the longer it will take to load. People get very impatient waiting for things to load, so always try and select images with the smallest file size and the shortest loading time. Also be aware that computer users get vey upset when you post in news groups with html in your sig. Now with the remove sig button that isn't a problem....as long as you remember to use it! LOL
8.HOW TO CHANGE TEXT COLOR
(A) Here is how to change the color of the text in your e-mail. Here is the code for changing a individual e-mail:
(html)
(font color="your color here")
Write your e-mail message here.
(/font)
(/html)
(B) You can also have a soild color as a background with any colored text you want. Use this code:
(html)
(body bgcolor="000000" text="ffffff")
(/html)
Always remember that (html) MUST start in the VERY FIRST space.
Remember to send a test email to yourself to make
sure you are happy with the way it looks.
You may see a " black box " when you are writting your e-mail but it
won't be seen by the reader.
I hope this tutorial helped you to create your
own personal e-mail signature.
