HTML signature support

Change html signature logo

You may want to occasionally update your HTML signature logo to reflect certain events, festivals etc. To do this, you need to have loaded your updated logo (with the same dimensions etc as the current logo) to your website images/asset folder. If you need us to do this on your behalf, please just drop us an email.

Open the HTML code file and find the (approx 4th) line. You're looking for the section of the code that starts with src="https://...

Simply replace the full web address of the old logo with the new logo, and you're done.

Adding an HTML signature to Mac Mail

We suggest using Spark Classic, Outlook for Mac or Airmail, rather than Mac Mail if you want to use HTML signatures, as loading HTML signatures into Mac Mail is painful. However, if you must use Mac Mail, here goes...

- Open the email we've sent you with your signature showing    
- Highlight and copy the signature    
- In Mac Mail, go to Mail > Preferences and select the Signatures tab    
- If you have more than 1 email account set up on your Mac, select the relevant one    
- Click the '+' button to the bottom right of the list of email accounts    
- Name the signature if you want    
- Type an easy to recognise word in the white text box to the right (eg REPLACE)    
- Ensure the "Always match my default font" checkbox is off    
- Close Mac Mail    
- Open Finder and go to Go > Go to Folder    
- If you store your emails in iCloud, paste in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~mail/Data/MailData/Signatures/
-  -  - Otherwise paste in ~/Library/Mail/ and select the V folder > MailData > Signatures    
- Find the .mailsignature file with the latest date    
- Right-click on the file and open with TextEdit    
- Find your replacement word in the file and TRIPLE click on it (this will select the entire 'body' paragraph)
- Delete the highlighted text and paste the HTML into the file and save & close    
- Right-click on the file and select 'Get Info'    
- Check the 'locked' button in the 'General' section    
- Close the Get Info box    
- Open Mac Mail and your signature will be ready to use    


Please note that we are aware that this is a right pain! So if you want us to get it added to your Mac, please drop us a line.
