How do I create a Gmail signature with images social icons and logos tutorial?

If you use Google's apps like Gmail, Calendar, Docs etc., then it is likely that at some point you have added a custom signature to emails sent from within those applications (or on Android). A signature can be as simple as your first name, but also includes all of the information associated with your account such as website links, phone numbers, addresses etc.

It isn't always clear how to change one of these default signatures if they are not what you want. For example, if you're using Gmail for business purposes, perhaps you would prefer something different than your personal profile. Or maybe you just wish there was another option available. We'll show you how to customize any existing signature by adding new ones.

How do I add an icon to my Outlook signature?

Firstly, open up Microsoft Office 365 " Mail " Preferences... You will see two options - Personalization and Signature. Select Signature. Now click Edit Signature. The page opens up with your current text signature already displayed under Email Signatures. If you don't currently have a signature selected in this window, select New.

Now enter your details into each section below until you reach the end where you should find the following entry field labeled Social Media Links. Click the drop-down menu next to this label and choose Other. This allows you to browse through other options. In our case we need to search for Facebook. Once found, simply double-click the item to make changes.

You now only have to type in your desired username and password before clicking Save Changes. Your browser will automatically close when done. Next time you send out an email via Outlook, your custom signature has been applied!

To apply the same method above for additional social networks such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc., go back to the Signature settings screen in Word 2016. Navigate down to More Options " Customize Ribbon... Here you can further edit your signature. When you get to the area labelled Additional Tools, look for the + button. This adds a new box which again contains your various social network profiles. Double click them in order to follow the process described above.

For instance, once clicked on Twitter, you may be asked to log in before being presented with the typical signup form. However, after logging in you will then be able to input your credentials. After doing so, you will have access to the same customization options as seen previously with Facebook.

Once finished, check out the final result in the screenshot below. Note that you could also remove items from here if required. Also note that unlike the previous examples, you cannot directly drag and delete individual entries from the ribbon list. Instead, right-click on the title bar of the respective tab and select Remove [Tab Name]..

As mentioned earlier, if you'd rather have separate signatures for work and home accounts, navigate to Account Settings " Manage Accounts.... Then look for the Profile dropdown menu underneath Default signature heading. From here you can switch between Home/Work profiles without having to reenter your login details.

How do I add the Facebook icon to my email signature?

First off, let us start by explaining why this works. To begin, head over to your Facebook page where you will notice the three horizontal dots located on the upper right hand corner of your cover photo. Hit the ellipsis symbol then Copy HTML code. This will take you to the Facebook applet editor. Paste the resulting HTML code onto a blank web page and hit Enter. Finally, replace the placeholder image with the actual icon (in our case it's a green arrow) and save.

Next, return to Windows 10 Mail. Head to File " New Message " Create Blank Document. Find the top toolbar containing your compose window and scroll down until you see Insert. Within this panel you should spot several icons including Ellipse Tool, Text Box, Image Gallery, Table, Button etc. Simply insert whichever you feel best fits your message and voila! It worked perfectly for me.

How do I add an icon to Outlook email?

While this is possible, it requires a bit of extra effort. First, download the JODI ActiveX control library and extract its contents somewhere convenient. Open the folder called joditest and inside you'll find an EXE file named jodi_v1.2.exe. Run this program and you should immediately see the JODI Control Panel pop up in your taskbar. Look towards the bottom left side of this panel. There are four tabs namely Clipboard, Fonts, Programs and System Information. Expand Program and right-click anywhere on the blue space. Choose Properties. Input your preferred address along with any tags you've chosen for it.

Afterwards, expand Clipboard and paste your newly created.ICO file into the Source box. Return to File Explorer. Right-click on the shortcut to your recently pasted icon and select Send to followed by Desktop (create shortcut if necessary). Drag the icon into whatever location suits you most and right-click on it afterwards. Go to Change Icon... Set Blocked Icon to No application allowed. Save changes when you finish.

Go ahead and try sending yourself an email while testing everything out. As long as everything goes smoothly, you should receive a notification saying your email was successfully delivered. Rest assured, you won't lose track of anything important ever again. What about signing up for new services? Well, you can easily add these too. Just keep things simple and remember a few basic rules:

Use unique URLs whenever possible. Don't worry though, this doesn't mean you must purchase dedicated domains for every service. Try using subdomains instead.

Don't limit yourself to just your own domain either. Some providers offer free email forwarding functionality allowing you to forward messages straight to your social networking accounts.

In short, you really aren't limited to just one signature per email provider anymore. Whether you're looking for a quick fix or a permanent solution, hopefully this article helped shed some light on the matter.

Social Media is all over our lives these days. Whether it's Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr...the number of sites we use everyday for work, personal communication, or both is vast. Social media has become so integrated into our daily life that there are now thousands of companies who have made their entire business model around them. These large corporations can afford to pay millions of dollars to buy ads on social networks like Facebook, Instagram, etc., but what about you? How much time does it take to update your status every day? And how much time would it save if you didn't need to click through 5 different tabs just to see what people are saying about you? You could spend less than 2 minutes updating your profile instead! It doesn't stop at social media either - there are countless other websites such as Google+, Reddit, YouTube, Snapchat, Quora, Flickr, Tumblr, Blogger, Wordpress, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Vine, Slideshare, Evernote, Dropbox, and many others which allow us to communicate with friends, share ideas, find jobs, learn new skills, stay connected, make money, build an audience, promote products, services, events, fundraisers, etc. With this being said, it may be difficult to keep track of everything with only one hand free while holding onto your coffee mug, reading from your phone, and trying to type at the same time. This is why having a professional looking website designed by a web designer such as yourself will help increase sales, recruit employees faster, attract investors, get clients quicker, and grow your brand. Below are some tips on how you can design your own custom e-mail newsletter using html code, allowing you to embed links to your social profiles directly within your emails.

How do I add a social icon to the footer?

First off, let's start with adding a simple image to your footer. There are basically two ways you can go about doing this. The first way involves uploading an image file to your computer then inserting its location path within the "img" tags of your document. So say you wanted to upload an avatar picture, your source file should look something like this: C:\Users\your_username\Pictures\avatar.png (or whatever folder name you want). Once uploaded, right click on the photo or graphic and select Properties. Then navigate to the tab labeled Compatibility. Select PNG under the radio button next to Windows GDI Compatible, then check the box next to bitmap option. After clicking OK, close out of properties, open up Notepad (if you don't already have Notepad installed), delete the text that says width="..." height=".*"" alt="" /", and paste in the following line of code: background:"URL(#image1) no-repeat center top." where #image1 refers to the unique ID assigned to the image when inserted into your page. Save the changes you've made to the.HTML file after pasting in the above code. Now that your image is ready to be embedded into your site, simply copy/paste the following lines of code into the body section of your webpage: "body {background:url("filelocation")} Your image should appear once published. If you're not sure exactly where your image was uploaded, try opening up the original.HTML file that contains the code for your webpages. Also note that you cannot change the size of any images added via CSS. To fix that issue, resize your image before copying it over, or use another method mentioned below. When done editing your HTML files, save them again. Now that they're saved, head back over to your browser window and refresh the page. All your images should now display correctly without errors. A second way to insert pictures into your footer is by taking advantage of the srcset attribute supported by most modern browsers. By setting multiple possible values for each image, you'll essentially give users the choice between displaying low quality versions of your photos, medium quality versions, high quality version, or even higher resolution photos. For example, here's a little snippet of code that uses the latest feature introduced by Chrome v57+ called the Picture Element: "picture" {width:100%;height:auto;} "source" {max-width:2560px;height:240px;"media:-webkit-user-drag none 0";}"@media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5)"[src]{"resize":function(){var oldWidth = this.parentNode && this.parentNode.offsetWidth,newWidth = this.getBoundingClientRect().width;;this.style.removeAttribute('data-original');this.style.width='0';this.style.height='0';this.style.overflow='hidden';},quality:'high'"} "/script" At the end of the day, however, the best practice to follow is to always optimize your images prior to publishing them online. Here's a great article explaining how to reduce file sizes dramatically without sacrificing too much visual appeal: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/03/26/reduce-images-sizes-without-sacrificing-visual-appeal/. If you'd prefer not to alter your existing images, there are plenty of tools available online to convert them to JPEG format automatically. One tool recommended by Smashing Magazine is called Image Optimizer Pro. Another great tool recommended by Web Designer Depot is Resize Me. Finally, if you absolutely must scale down your images, consider downloading ImageMagick. Most importantly though, remember to always test your designs locally before going live. Always ensure that your images look correct across various devices and screen resolutions whether printed or viewed on computers, tablets, phones, televisions, projectors, monitors, mobile screens, smartwatches, wearables, augmented reality headsets, game consoles, digital signage displays, etc.     Now that each individual element is set up, lets move onto designing your customized e-newsletter footers. First things first, let's talk about the overall layout structure. In order to achieve a clean yet consistent appearance throughout your newsletters, you should include a header, footer, left sidebar, main content area, and finally a bottom bar containing copyright information. As far as sizing goes, keep in mind that the majority of readers will likely view your newsletter on desktops rather than mobile devices. Therefore, it's important that your layouts adapt accordingly based on device dimensions. Keep in mind that desktop users tend to read from the left side whereas mobile viewers generally scroll from the right. Although the basic structure remains the same regardless of platform, certain elements may require adjusting slightly depending upon platform limitations. Since our goal is to avoid breaking formatting rules, we recommend avoiding tables altogether. Tables often cause problems because they break responsive typography principles. Instead, stick to floating boxes and absolute positioning. Floating boxes provide flexibility so that you can adjust according to the user agent stylesheet. Absolute positioning allows you to place objects anywhere on the canvas. Lastly, the bottom navigation bar is typically used to indicate menu items or actions relevant to the reader viewing the newsletter. However, since it breaks the flow of your layout, it's usually not ideal to position it underneath the table unless necessary. Let's begin creating the template. Open up Microsoft Word and create 3 separate columns. Place your header inside column 1 followed by your footer. Next, create a third column and put your left sidebar in there. Lastly, create a fourth column and fill it with the remaining space. Remember to align your sections properly so that they appear neat and orderly. Write anything else pertaining to the subject matter of your newsletter inside the main content area. Make sure to leave enough room for images and videos. Feel free to customize the colors and fonts to better suit your needs. That concludes today's lesson. Please join me tomorrow for part 2 of this tutorial series where we will discuss inserting hyperlinks to your social media accounts as well as incorporating social sharing features. Until then, happy coding!

Do you want to have a professional looking email signature on every message that goes out through Gmail? If yes, this article is for you. In the following steps we will see how to make a beautiful email signature using Google Sheets. The final step also includes adding links as well as other details like phone numbers etc., which are not possible using just sheets.

1) How do I get social icons widget?

There are plenty of websites where you can find free social media widgets. You can go through those sites to choose any suitable icon set according to your need. Or else, you may download these icons from Github public repository. We'll be using the last option here. Go to https://github.com/mjg59/Gmail-Social-Icons. Download all required files (you only need to download "social_icons.js" file). Now open up Notepad. Press Ctrl + V to paste each line into Notepad individually. After pasting everything correctly, save it as "signature.html".

2) How do I edit signature.html file so that it looks good in emails?

Now copy "signature.html" file onto desktop and change its extension to ".PNG" by right clicking on it and selecting Rename. This way when you try opening it in browser, it won't show weird symbols. Open up the new picture file and place it anywhere inside your PC's hard drive. Then drag and drop it onto blank space next to "signature.html" within the same folder. Right click on it and select Properties. Change the name of the document to anything meaningful i.e. "email signature", then press OK. Similarly repeat this process for all pictures. Save the entire project by going to File-"Save As... and give it a relevant name e.g. "Signatures.zip."

3) Copy signatures.zip file to Dropbox account

Since there are many people who use the same image library, we've decided to store them at DropBox instead of hosting them locally. Here's why - if something happens to our local computer, all we need to do is delete it off the system and replace with another version. But if it gets deleted at Dropbox, we would lose access to important documents including such sensitive ones like passwords. So, let's first upload it to Dropbox and after getting permission, we'll move forward with creating email signatures.

4) Move zip file to Documents Library in GSuite

Go to Settings-"Personal Document Folder-"More Options-"File Handling-"Choose Import And Backup Locations..." Click on Upload Files To.... Navigate to your Dropbox directory via the Browse button on this page and import the zipped archive file called "Signatures.Zip" under "Dropbox Public Content" category. Once done, uncheck Sync Google Docs folders automatically and check Only sync specific folders. Finally, click Done. Note that Google Drive might take some time to synchronize the changes.

5) Create Email Signature Widget

In order to insert your custom signature into emails, follow these simple instructions:

Click Insert tab.

Under Objects menu, scroll down until you locate Email Signatures section. It has three options: Plain text signature, Rich Text signature, Auto-generated signature.

6) Choose auto-generated signature and customize it further

We'll be editing the default template provided by Gmail. First, double click on Default Template header row and rename it as whatever you'd prefer. Next, double click on topmost cell and type in your desired contact information. For example, you could write something along the lines of "Name Surname" followed by their title or company designation. Double click on bottom most cell and enter email address. Be sure to include @gmail.com before your personal domain. Lastly, double-click on second column heading to expand it and fill it with your social profiles like LinkedIn, Twitter etc. They must appear in alphabetical order. When finished, right click on empty area between two columns and select Format Cells.. From the Styles submenu, select Border. A thin black border appears around cells with your information. Select Font and change font size accordingly.

7) Repeat above procedure till you finish filling Social Media fields

After completing above steps, please proceed ahead to complete remaining sections of the default template. There are 4 rows left namely Subject, Message, Attachments, Footer. Fill in subject field with sender's full name. Under message box, type in your intended content. Then, double-click on empty area below this and put in your Contact Information. Do the same thing again under attachments area and enter attachment names separated by comma. Last but not least, enter footer text in the Footer Row.

8) Edit the code behind signature.html file

Open up Chrome developer tools by pressing F12 key on keyboard. Scroll down towards the end of the source codes and look for script named "script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/" async defer>". Delete everything between this tag and paste the following code snippet instead:

Replace placeholder_image_url value with actual address of any icon you downloaded earlier. Replace placeholder_textarea_id with id attribute of any div element containing captch form. Replace placeholder_button_class with class attribute present in respective elements.

9) Test your newly created signature

To ensure that everything works fine, send yourself test mail while keeping the original signature intact. Upon receiving your email, open it up in Firefox web browser. Check whether you're able to view rich formatted text properly in body part. Also, verify that no error messages pop up during sending.

10) Compose emails with edited signature

Once satisfied, re-enable autocorrect feature by navigating back to Preferences-"General-"Autocorrections... Turn it on. By doing so, whenever you start typing your email addresses in compose window, they will match with what's already written in signature.

11) Remove unwanted parts from signature html

You can remove unnecessary scripts and styles by deleting entire contents of style tags and script tags respectively. Use CTRL+F to search for certain words like "div" and "style" separately. Just highlight them and hit Delete button. Afterwards, navigate to Tools-"HTML-"Edit-"Delete selected CSS properties and JavaScript references... Enter values 1 and 0 respectively. Hit Apply Changes and wait for few minutes for the results to manifest. Keep repeating this procedure till there's nothing left except plain text formatting.

12) View modified signature in Gmail preview pane

Finally, head over to Settings-"Show Preview Pane" and tick Always Show Preview Pane. Restart internet explorer and check if everything works smoothly.

This concludes our guide on how to create an email signature with social media icons and embedding YouTube videos. Hope everyone finds it useful! Feel free to ask for help if needed. Thanks for reading!
