Add your Signature to Blogger after every post

Writing a post or an article is like writing a letter. A letter will not complete if you doesn’t add your signature in it. See right for an example signature. That’s mine. You can add it too, just follow the simple instructions below.

Creating you signature
There are many ways to create your own signature online. But i chose the simple one so that you can easily understand.

Go to My Live Signature and just follow the instructions given.

Adding signature to Blogger

So you already got your signature but how do you add it in Blogger after every post? Basically there are two methods. But before you add it in Blogger, you have to host your image first. I used http://imageshack.us/ for mine.

After you have hosted image, replace YOUR IMAGE URL that is in red.

<img src=’YOUR IMAGE URL’/>

Method 1

This is the easiest method. Go to Blogger dashboard, go to Settings -> Formatting -> Post Template.

Add <img src=’YOUR IMAGE URL’/> and Save Settings.

You are done, you signature will display when you post your new article.

Method 2

Method 2 is quite for some people, if you are not sure what you are doing please follow Method 1 but if you insist and you want to try this Method please backup your template first.

Step 1

Find this code :-

<p><data:post.body/></p>

if you can’t find the code, find this :-

<data:post.body/>

After you have found the code, paste <img src=’YOUR IMAGE URL’/> just after <p><data:post.body/></p>

Step 2

Save your template.

Enjoy your new signature.

    Importing and exporting blogs on Blogger

    Published by djyano under Blogger Tweak Edit This

    The import and export features on Blogger give your content a whole new range of portability and freedom, allowing you to create copies of your own blogs as well as import them into other existing ones. Best of all—we’ve made this a very simple process!

    Import as a New Blog

    To import content as a brand new blog, click Create a Blog from your dashboard.

    Then under Advanced Options, click the Import Blog Tool

    Finally, choose the Blogger export file (.xml) from your hard drive and fill out the word verification. Click the Upload arrow and your new bog will be created instantly!

    Import Into an Existing Blog

    To import posts and comments into an already existing blog, start by clicking Import Blog from the existing blog’s Settings | Basic tab.

    Note: Your template will not be affected by the imported content.

    Next, choose a Blogger export file (.xml) from your hard drive and fill out the word verification beneath. By default, all of your imported posts will remain unpublished until you publish them from your dashboard later. However, if you would rather have all posts published immediately, make sure to check the box next to Automatically publish all imported posts before you click Import Blog.

    If you did not choose to have your posts publish automatically, you will need to manually publish them from the Posting | Edit Posts tab before they will appear on the web. You can either publish all the posts at once by clicking Publish all imported posts, or publish individual posts by selecting them and then clicking Publish Selected.

    Exporting Your blog

    To export your blog, simply click Export Blog from the Settings | Basic tab.

    Finally, click the Export Blog button. You blog will be stored as a Blogger export file (.xml) file which can be kept as a backup on your hard drive or imported into another blog.

    Note: Exported blogs are not deleted from your dashboard or Blogger.com
