Signatures in Gmail

A lot of people have been asking me how I do customized signatures in Gmail, so I thought I would help. There is an add on specifically for Mozilla Firefox that is called Black Canvas. You can find it here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7757. Once you install the add-on, you will need to go and compose an email within Gmail. Once you get to the compose screen, you will see new buttons that appear that. Click on the one that says “Create New Signature.” That’s it. It does require a little bit of HTML knowledge to get the signature that you want, but you can simply start out with something like this.

Health, Wealth & Happiness,
Brad Dohack

This will result in the following looking signature:

Health, Wealth & Happiness,
Brad Dohack

There are obviously waaaaaaaay more sophisticated html tools out there, but this will get you started. This add on also gives you the ability to insert pictures into your signature block as well. The pictures do have to be hosted somewhere online though. Sorry, you can’t put a picture directly from your computer onto the signature block without hosting it first. Hope this helps!
