Make sure to change the image URL to the location of your image, or you can replace the image tag with plain text.

Tweak via CSS as needed…

If you have any issues with the placement or appearance of your signature, you can style it with CSS. For example:

{code type=css}
div.signature img {
padding: 5px;
}

The best part is that there’s no need to add a new plugin to accomplish this.

Simply copy and paste and your signature will be automatically included.

Update the image any time you like and it will be dynamically changed on all posts on your blog.
