I read a post somewhere about signing your blog posts with your signature, and I searched for it on Active Rain but couldn't find it anywhere. Then it dawned on me that the person who wrote that post was the one that always signs with her signature, Lorelle on Wordpress.
I found the post that she wrote about making a signature and went to MyLiveSignature, where you can do a signature FREE, choosing from about 120 different fonts. It won't be exactly like your signature, but you can find one that expresses your personality. You can also get an animated signature, or scan your real one and they will make it for you, although both those options cost some money.
I played around with it for a while, and here is what I came up with for my signature. It is contemporary looking, but simple; not loud or gaudy. Maybe classy, but not stodgy. Maybe that is just what I think it should be.
Perhaps this one would be better?
As you can see, you can change the font, the color, the words, the slope, and the size and make it suit the theme of your blog. Here is another one if I want to be more formal
Or sassy and bold perhaps?
Here is another version; I could have hundreds if I want!
The directions are easy to follow and I found that if I want to save it as HTML so that I can post it in my blog, I just copy and paste the code. I copied it into Notepad and filed it away, so the next time I need to use it again I can copy and paste once more. I might have copied into Word but my other blog is a Wordpress blog and Word and Wordpress aren't compatible. There may be easier ways to do it but that will work for me.
One word of caution, when posting on AR, I usually write in WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) versus HTML, and to add the signature you need to be in HTML. So write your post, save it as a draft, then go back into the edit mode again and click on the HTML tab at the top. Paste your html code for the signature at the end, save again, and this time publish if you are ready.
Have fun, and show me your new signatures that you came up with in the coments below. Many thanks to Lorelle!
