How to Put an Icon of Facebook in My Signature in Gmail
Gmail lets you create a signature that automatically appends to your outgoing emails. The signature can contain formatted words, images and links. You can combine these features to embed a Facebook icon that links to a Facebook profile, Page or Group of your choosing. By uploading a Facebook icon to a Web server or free image hosting service, you can embed the photo into your signature and turn it into a link. It is one simple way to build your Facebook networks with every email you send.
