Signature anyone?

So here's how to add a signature to your posts...

1: You need to come up with your signature. I used Photoshop for mine, but you can use any editing software that lets you do a text box. You can also use www.mylivesignature.com, and follow the steps there. For photoshop here's your steps.
+ Open a new document. go to File, New.
+ Width: 2in Height: 1in Resolution:100px/in And the most important BACKGROUND CONTENTS: TRANSPARENT
+Next you'll select your text tool 'T' Select your background and type away! Play with your fonts and have fun! It's your signature so you want something that screams you!
+ Save as a 'PNG' file so your background will stay transparent. (I think even in my live signature you need to save it as a png as well, but not for sure.)

2: After you've saved it to your computer, you'll need to save it in photobucket, or another online photo hosting site. Now to add it to your posts.

3: Copy the DIRECT LINK code your hosting site gives you.

4: Go to your dashboard in Blogger
+ Select the SETTINGS tab
+ from there you'll want to select the FORMATTING tab
+ scroll down to where it says POST TEMPLATE. and add this code (img src=" ") in that box, then add the DIRECT LINK code you copied in part 3 in between the " "
and it should look something like this

Now just replace these ( ) with these < >

make sure there are no spaces between your quotations.

Whala! here's your beautiful signature!
(You might want to take off your image borders or they might show up on your signature)

I never used photoshop earlier so this method would be little tricky for me. I will stick to the other option you have suggested because its very popular and I found a short tutorial that guides about how to use it.
