Cool Signature Blocks For Emails in Gmail
First off, you need to get Firefox. As far as I am concerned, Firefox and Google Gmail go hand in hand.
I have had many folks ask me, how can I make a nice signature block, with a picture, and some other HTML links to be automatically added to my Gmail signature block?
First off, Gmail provides a fair rudimentary signature block that can be selected and customized somewhat from the settings page. However, it is limited to placing a www.pwebs.net or http://jimwarholic.com plain link in the email with a name, phone number, address, or whatever you would like to say at the closure of your emails. The signature block with the plain links become automatic hyperlinks when it is added to the email, and the email is sent out.
If you want to add pictures or link text, also called anchor text, link labels, or link titles (the visible hyperlinked text) such as: Internet Marketing Services, then you need to install a Firefox Add-on. Add-ons are simply little custom made, free programs, that are installed on top of the basic Firefox installation. In fact, there are thousands of add-ons available for download at the Mozilla Firefox website. Like I said, first download Firefox for your PC, Apple, or Linux computer and then you can customize the Firefox application any way you like.
The add-on that I have been using recently for Gmail signature blocks is called: Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures. Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures add-on allows you to customize multiple signatures and automatically add them to your Gmail emails below or above quoted text.
To install, go to the Firefox add-on page for Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures and click the "Add to Firefox" button. Once you do that, then you will have to relaunch Firefox, and the Signatures menu will appear when you go to write an email in the Gmail application. The first time you use it, you will need to customize your signature. You can have a number of different signatures, depending on what you are doing, or who your target audience is.
I've created several different signatures, depending on how I feel the email should be signed off. Here are some examples of signature blocks I have created.

So, as you can see, you can have a little fun with your email signature blocks too.
If you don't know how to write html code, don't fret, there are free online html editors, in a "what you see is what you get," WYSIWYG mode, that you can use to create a cool looking signature block with not having to know any html coding. Simply type what you want, grab a picture from your website, insert the image using a button, and lay it out the way you want. I suggest you use an image online, published at your website, or one that you have uploaded to an image hosting service that allows "hot linking" such as Photobucket, and embed the image using the image button in the WYSIWG html editor. Once you get the layout the way you like it, then go to the code mode and copy the html code into your Blank Canvas Gmail Signature create button, and save it in the default or several other selectable signatures. Then when you write an email with your Gmail account, it will automatically be added if it is the default or you can select the other ones if you desire.
This can be a very very powerful sales and marketing tool to use for your business. Get your sales people to send signature blocks with more information about your company links. Just a suggestion, it is probably wise to not go overboard with too many links or pictures in the signature block area.
