Unfortunately Gmail doesnt support rich text editting in its signature settings. The plain text that it does allow is fine for a simple signature in a personal gmail account but my Gmail at work (Google Apps Premier Edition) was 10 lines long and looking ridiculous. I needed a professional looking signature.
Alas I have just came across this awesome plug in for firefox which helps you easily assign your signature to your emails for both personal or business in the same application. Wisestamp is a handy tool that sits neatly in the bottom corner of your browser window. All you have to do is:
- Go to http://wisestamp.com
- Download Wisestamp
- Restart your browser
- Click on the ‘stamp’ icon at the bottom of your page
- Choose ‘Edit Signature’
- Get creative with the editing tools or Search for a template here: http://wisestamp.com/goodies/category/signature-examples/
- Copy and paste the Signature style that you like
- Toggle between Business and Personal to ammend details and add links to social networks
- Apply and OK
- The tool is automatically set to embed your signature into your email – however you can change this in your settings.
