Instructions

1. Open your browser with AOL and log on to your AOL email account. Select "Settings" from the "Menu" taskbar along the top of the screen.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep your signature to a few lines, if possible.
• If you're using a link in your signature, copy and paste the link in the "Create Signature" box.
• Some versions of AOL have an "Authorings" setting under the "Settings" button, which takes you to "Signatures." Then the "Menu" taskbar appears on the right of the screen.
