Automatically adding a custom signature to each posting.

I have been trying to add a custom signature post with no luck. Well, hey presto this morning it worked!!
  • I scanned-in my own logo using an italic pen and a small piece of red lace.
  • On the top right of the scanning page you can crop the picture to reduce the white background.
  • Once saved I forwarded the image to Paint to remove any blemishes then forwarded the saved image as a jpg to My Pictures/Picasa - then sent to my Blog automatically.
  • A huge amount of code appeared in the message of my post (if not, push Edit Html - top right on your post) which I right clicked to copy then pasted (as a trial) into the Post Template section - which is located via the Dashboard, from where you click Settings and then Formatting.
  • Remember to save this final step. It is also a good idea to do a couple of test Blogs to see if this works. No guarantees - this appears complicated but it worked for me!
  • Also remember to switch your post back to compose otherwise you will always have that heap of code on your post and could easily delete it :)
P.S. After all this effort, the signature has gone from this post - but I have got it working again in later posts , so there are some issues. Does anyone know why?

Thanks to Linda at: http://diaryofacraftaholic.blogspot.com for the tips on creating a custom signature :)
