You can format your text, select your text or jpg you want to link<br /> to and enter the url.</p> <p>You then switch to source mode, copy and paste the lines between the<br /> "body" tags and paste it into the signature box.</p> <p>Don't get carried away with unusual fonts unless you save it as a jpg<br /> and link to it. If the font is not also on the viewers computer it will default to something else and they won't see what you see.</p> <p>I use the Netscape composer that downloads with the Netscape browser.</p> <p>Actually I just thought of a quicker way if you are just linking to text.<br /> Hit reply to a message here.<br /> Type in or paste in your text and format it with fonts and color choices.<br /> highlight the words you want to link to.<br /> click the hyperlink icon which is the 3rd from the right above if<br /> you have enabled the html in message button below.<br /> When you enter a link and return to the message, it shows you<br /> the html code.<br /> Select it and copy it.<br /> Cancel the sending of the message.<br /> Go to your control page for signature.<br /> Paste in the code.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 17 Nov 2005 by LOGOJOHN</p> <hr /><a name="a2303_19"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2303.19">#19</a>]<br /> 20 Nov 2005<br /><b>To: Jo (OAAE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2303.1">#1</a>] 21 Nov 2005</p> <p>Jo,<br /> I have a website up now, but have not gotten product entered. <a href="http://www.americanpacificawards.com">www.americanpacificawards.com</a> <br /> We worked with John Fish ( of EE forum fame). He is reasonable, fun and knowledgable.<br /> I could have taken the time to learn to do it myself, but I have a theory that one should pay folks to do what THEY do well, and YOU do what YOU do well, and you will come out on top. <br /> I realizes it's a kick in the pants to do ones own website, and fairly easy also, but how much money could you be making in your business in the same amount of time you would spend on your website?</p> <p> My website will be my showroom once I get products entered and from what I have heard from others in this industry is that a website is almost a necessity.</p> <p> Another site that John Fish has helped on is David Takes's site, <a href="http://www.expressionsengraved.com">www.expressionsengraved.com</a></p> <p> Just my two cents, want change?</p> <hr /><a name="a2303_20"></a><p><b>From: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2303.20">#20</a>]<br /> 20 Nov 2005<br /><b>To: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2303.19">#19</a>] 20 Nov 2005</p> IMHO from a non-expert, that looks like a great start.<br /> <br /> Some sites have three columns with links text and pictures all over the place.

The SSL image on your page indicates it is a secure site.
