Create HTML email signatures for Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail

Posted on October 5, 2008 at 5:23 am

Most people know how to create email signatures for programs like Microsoft Outlook because it’s easy, however, creating professional HTML email signatures for online email services such as Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo Mail is a real pain.

I had written earlier about a Greasemonkey script called Insert HTML Signature, which works for only Gmail. An HTML signature is much better than a normal plain text signature because you can add lots of formatting to make your signature much more professional looking.

If you use Firefox, you can either install Greasemonkey and use the script I mentioned above or you can check out a cool Firefox add-on called WiseStamp that not only works with Gmail, but also with other email service providers, such as Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail, or any other webmail service! Now that’s definitely much nicer.

WiseStamp has a lot of cool features that make it the best add-on I’ve come across so far for creating and adding email signatures. Here’s a quick overview of the program:

Personally design email signatures
Easy to use GUI interface for creating signatures

Rich Text WYSIWYG editor
Ability to add a logo or graphic to your signature
Supports all web email services and all webmail functions such as Compose, Reply, and Forward
Include your IM icons and ID’s into your signature easily
Add links to all your social networking services like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc
Supports special characters
Supports LTR and RTL languages also

The other cool thing about WiseStamp is that it has a whole bunch of email signature templates that you can download and just replace with your information! It’s great because they have created some very professional looking signature templates, so you can start including great looking signatures in a few minutes!

Overall, the add-on is one of the best for generating email signatures. I wish it worked in Internet Explorer also, but as of right now it does not. Enjoy! Source: DownloadSquad

This extension made my FireFox totally unusable! (I’m using Vista Home Premium). No websites would load under either Firefox or Internet Explorer! Trying to use FireFox update failed with a message saying saying a file was corrupted. Fortunately, uninstalling this signature-making extension and doing a total shutdown fixed things.

Dear Rockytop-
I am truly sorry to hear you personally encountered some kind of functional issues in while installing WiseStamp.
“a total shutdown fixed things”- i understand things worked out at the end…great!

Please feel free to contact our support directly for any tech problem regarding WiseStamp

“No websites would load under…Internet Explorer”- WiseStamp dose not effect Internet Explorer at all therefore I truly believe all of the issues you reported of had to do with your personal computer configuration.
if you have any more questions please feel free to contact our support.
enjoy WiseStamp
