How To Add A Signature

This tutorial will show you how to add a signature to your posts in just a few easy steps! But first, here's how it looks like.

Now that you know how it looks like, we can get started!!

Open up your image editing program. I use GIMP, which is free, similar to Photoshop, and can be downloaded here. A tip would be to set the background to transparent, but you don't really have to since most post backgrounds are white. For size, I prefer 150 x 80. Try putting your text towards the left, otherwise it won't be aligned to the left. If you made it transparent, save it as a .png file, otherwise the usual .jpg will do.

Upload it to Photobucket. Now, copy the HTML of your image.

Go to your Blogger dashboard, and click 'settings' on the blog you want. Next, click 'formatting'. Scroll right to the bottom, and you should see this:

Paste the HTML code there, click save, and you're done!!

How To Add A Background To Your Posts



In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to add a background to your posts like the one I have.



Photobucket

Go to Dashboard>Blog you want>Layout>Edit HTML.



Photobucket

Scroll down until you see this:


/* Posts
----------------------------------------------- */
then scroll down to the 6th paragraph until you see this:
.post-body {
  border:1px dotted $borderColor;
  border-width:0 1px 1px;
  border-bottom-color:$mainBgColor;
  padding-top:10px;
  padding-$endSide:14px;
  padding-bottom:1px;
  padding-$startSide:29px;
  }



Photobucket

Add this:
background: url("image url here") ;
just below the 2nd line, so you get this:
.post-body {
  border:1px dotted $borderColor;
  background: url("image url here") ;
  border-width:0 1px 1px;
  border-bottom-color:$mainBgColor;
  padding-top:10px;
  padding-$endSide:14px;
  padding-bottom:1px;
  padding-$startSide:29px;
  }


And that's it!! Well, I'm pretty sure you know how to upload to Photobucket.
