How to Add a Signature to a Gmail Account

You do not need to be a technical genius to add an automatic signature to all emails you send from your Gmail account. It's even possible to append an inspiring quote along with your name. Personalizing your Gmail account is easier than you think. Adding your unique signature or favorite quote is only a few steps away.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Sign in to your Gmail account by entering your user name and password on Gmail's home page.

2. Choose the "Settings" link that appears on the top right portion of your browser's window. Gmail then directs you to the "General settings" tab by default.

3. Scroll down to the "Signature" section. Enter your signature text in the box provided. Your signature includes your name, your contact information, a closing salutation with your name appended, an inspirational quote, the sky's the limit so be creative.

4. Mark the button next to the text box to indicate you want to activate your automatic signature.

5. Scroll down to the bottom of the "General settings" tab and click the "Save changes" button. You have just created an automatic signature to close each outgoing Gmail message.

Tips & Warnings

• Change your signature box message with the seasons or upcoming holidays. Experiment with adding images and photographs, but most importantly, have fun.
• Your signature does not appear if you do not click the "Save changes" button.
• Keep safety in mind. Do not email private information that you do not want everyone online to know.
