My old signature was in plain text and did not reflect my web presence. I therefore decided to create a new one which includes my logo and links to my various social media accounts.

The design of my new signature was inspired by Wess Daniels’ website, where he explains how to create your own HTML signature in Apple Mail.

Apple Mail normally only allows you to create plain text signatures. However, by following Daniels’ explanations, you can create your personalized one in a few minutes. Here is the coding of my signature (without my personal information):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd”>
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Style-Type” content=”text/css”>
<title></title>
<meta name=”Generator” content=”Cocoa HTML Writer”>
<meta name=”CocoaVersion” content=”1038.36″>
<style type=”text/css”>
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Courier}
p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica}
a {decoration: none; color: rgb(95, 95, 95)}
</style>
