Hello,

I have seen people have logo images in their posts signature. I have been trying to figure out how to do this.

I have uploaded my logo to my gallery but I cannot figure out how to put it in the signature. I am not a technical type of person so this computer stuff is a bit tricky for me.

I already have my website address in the signature but not my logo.

Thank you for any assistance you can give. It is much appreciated.

D.

Hello,

Thank you for responding.

But, I am not a technical person. I am not sure what I am looking at as far as this html. Is this what I put in the signature? Would it be possible to break down the parts of this code so I can know what goes where?

The tag are what create the hyperlink. The = part lets you give the URL a custom display. e.g. just creates https://www.google.com/ while creates click me!.

The tags create the image in the signature. By combining them you create a clickable link. So all you need to do is take the following code, change the URL link to your block and the Image link to the image you want and put it in your signature instead of the link you currently have.

Here you go:

Just copy the code below into your signature (staring with the "[url=" part):

If you want learn the how/why this works (aka become a little more of a 'technical person'), see Bacon's post above for the explanation.

Awesome!, Thank you very very much. You must have been seeing the mess I had been making of it trying to get that to work. I clearly have a lot to learn about html.

Again , thank you for all your help.

FYI, we do have a size limitation on images in signatures, so you can see yours is getting clipped (you can't see the 'custom painted miniatures' line, for example).

So if you're able, you'd be much better of making a version that is more horizontal (has 'DMAN'S MINIS' side by side on the same line), that way it would fit more nicely as a sig banner here.

Thank you for all the help. It is very much appreciated. I got a smaller version of my logo on there so the entire thing can be seen now. Honestly, I still do not understand the coding you used. Some of the code I could not see where you got it.

The %20 for instance. But , I think I got it working.

Your original path has spaces in it. Since URLs can't have illegal characters, they get filled in with code. Don't worry about that part.

You might want to change "To see more of my work click here" to so it's clickable.

Thank you for the advice. You all have been very helpful. I appreciate it very much.

I hope you all have a nice day.
