Creating an iPhone/iPad iSignatureArticle Summary: The introduction of iOS 5 would seem to have been (another) ideal moment for Apple to improve on the email services offered on their iPhone/iPad products. Unfortunately, the opportunity was not grasped.This is a step by step guide to show you how to get exactly the signature you want.

The introduction of iOS 5 would seem to have been (another) ideal moment for Apple to improve on the email services offered on their iPhone/iPad products. Unfortunately, the opportunity was not grasped. As so many people have been clamouring for an improvement, and Apple are undisputed leaders in usability, perhaps something is afoot.
The release of a free messaging service between iOS 5 equipped products might lead one to believe that Apple is attempting to force us all [url=http://www.skoda-witzke.de/woolrichoutlet.php]woolrich outlet[/url] down this route. Can you really imagine a world where messaging is restricted to Apple products... I can't.
A long-time bugbear of mine is the default 'signature' on Emails that is 'sent from my iPhone/Pad'. Whilst accepting that this is perhaps good publicity for Apple, it is also irritating.
This default signature is easily changed by going to Settings/Mail/Signature and then entering any text you want. At the moment I would suggest merely deleting the free advertising. I will show you, step by step, how to [url=http://www.villazuki.it]woolrich sito ufficiale[/url] create exactly the signature that YOU want.
Again, somewhat irritatingly, there used to be a workaround for this to enable the creation of a signature but, with the advent of iOS 5, it no longer functions.
Stage 1
You need to decide whether or not you want to have a real hand written signature as a part of your iSignature or not. If you do not want to have a handwritten signature, you do not need to read the rest of this stage... go straight to Stage 2.
Decide on how [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]nike air jordan pas cher[/url] you want your signature to look, using a piece of paper (that stuff we used before the world became iEverything). I would suggest that, for security purposes, your signature is not the one you use to sign cheques. After all, you will in due course be broadcasting this on the Internet; you have been warned.
This signature can now either be scanned on your printer, or photographed on your phone, and then saved on your PC (name the file 'sig'... which is the name we'll use later).
There is also an App called Autograph which you can use to create your signature. Again, transfer this file to your PC and name it 'sig'.
Stage 2
The next stage in the creation of your signature is to decide exactly what you want to include. Get a piece of paper and write down exactly what you want included, and where you want it placed (order and position).
Here are [url=http://www.par5club.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] some ideas (and that is what they are, ideas). Feel free to use only those that are appropriate for you and add anything that is good for your individual circumstances.
Complimentary close
If you finish all your emails with 'yours interestingly' (or whatever), you might as well include it in your iSignature.
Signature
This will either be the 'sig' file you have already created, or you will be entering your name as text. There are various fonts (Bradley Hand ITC) being an example, which allow you to display something approaching handwriting.
Name
A bit obvious but, choose whether or not to have your name entered in type, as part of your iSignature.
Company
This is obviously only relevant if you are sending emails on behalf of a company. At the same time decide whether or not you want to include a logo with this section.
Email
You could enter your email address, especially if you are sending from a different address.
Phone
Fairly obvious, and if you include this, consider entering numbers in their international dialling format, and include [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin[/url] as many different numbers as you want, specifying whether they are mobile or fax, as well.
Web
Your website address (es).
Address
A physical address which you want to share with your interlocutor.
Logo
This could already have been [url=http://www.diecastlinks.co.uk]hollister outlet[/url] displayed with your company name or, could be used on its own. I would highly recommend that this is hyperlinked to a website. If you wish to do this, ensure that you have the exact URL (in the style
Facebook
Your Facebook homepage. You can get this by going to your Facebook page and clicking on the 'info' button on the left and then scrolling down to 'Contact Information'; your homepage URL is listed here.
Twitter
Your Twitter username.
LinkedIn
Your LinkedIn URL address.
Skype
Your Skype username, so that people can contact you directly on Skype.
Disclaimer
This is a statement in the style of 'we take no responsibility if you don't like what has been written'. In all seriousness, this tends to apply more to companies and you will no doubt already have received communications including a disclaimer. If you want to use one, use these as an idea for a template.
Font/Colour/Style
Decide which font(s) and colour(s) you are intending to use for the various parts if your iSignature. Just a suggestion (design isn't my strongpoint) but don't have too many different fonts or colours, as this tends to look messy. No doubt someone will prove me very wrong.
Logos
Apart from the [url=http://www.riad-marrakesh.fr]www.riad-marrakesh.fr[/url] company logo, decide if you are going to use any others.
Post Script (P.S.)
This could contain anything you wish. I tend to have one that states "Click on the signature to access my blog".
Now take your time getting this little lot together.
Stage 3
If you have followed the previous suggestions, you should have a piece of paper in front of you that has the basic layout of how your iSignature is going to look.
We now need to get that into a format that will display exactly what you want.
Open your favourite word processor (we'll assume MS Word for the moment) and start with an empty page. Now enter the various items from your sheet of paper. The instructions are given for each heading but, of course, just skip any that you are not using.
Complimentary close
Type the text in the font that you have chosen.
Signature
Add the 'sig' file you created in Stage 1. This is done as Insert/Picture/From File. If you are going to be hyperlinking your signature to a website then, highlight if and then Insert/Hyperlink and enter the exact address in the form [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie[/url]
Name
Type the text in the font that you have chosen, either as your signature [url=http://www.midimoni.to/cgi/midimonibbs/yybbs.cgi?flag=&mode=al]abercrombie pas cher Know Mor[/url] itself, or the text version of your 'sig' file.
Company
Type the text in the font that you have chosen. If you are using a logo then add this as Insert/Picture/From File..
If you are going to be hyperlinking your [url=http://www.achbanker.com/hollister.php]hollister france[/url] logo to a website then, highlight if and then Insert/Hyperlink and enter the exact address in the form
Email
Enter your email address and if you do not wish it to automatically open an email message if clicked then, right click the address and choose 'remove hyperlink'.
Phone
Type the text in the font that you have chosen.
Web
Type the text in [url=http://www.villazuki.it]woolrich outlet online[/url] the font that you have [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie milano[/url] [url=http://www.72joy.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=485816][/url] chosen then, highlight [url=http://www.fayatindia.com/giuseppe-zanotti.html]giuseppe zanotti pas cher[/url] if and then Insert/Hyperlink and enter the exact address in the form
Address

Logo

Facebook

Twitter
Type the text [url=http://www.ttcarpets.co.uk]mulberry outlet[/url] in the font that you have chosen then, highlight if and then Insert/Hyperlink and enter the exact address in the form
LinkedIn
Type the text in the font that you have chosen then, highlight if and then Insert/Hyperlink and enter the exact address in the form
Skype
Type the text in the font that you have chosen.
Disclaimer
Type the text in the font that you have chosen.
Post Script (P.S.)
Type the text in the font that you have chosen.
Spell-check
Just to make sure, run the spellchecker on the document (F7).
Save
... very obvious but, just in case, save the document to a place you know where it is.
Before we go on to the next, and final, stage, feel free to test out your new iSignature on your existing PC mail account... it'll work just as well there.
Stage 4
If you have followed the previous suggestions, you should now have a saved document on your PC that represents the iSignature file you wish to use on your iPhone/iPad. It can already be used with your PC mail software but there is just a little [url=http://www.tileproject.net]barbour outlet[/url] more work required until you can have a 'decent' signature for your Apple device.
Please remember that this is a workaround so, if it does not [url=http://www.52521.net/?p=246#comment-]The Ken Onion Knives Hype - written by Marth Kile[/url] look as elegant as it should (the solution, not the signature) then, please feel free to let Apple know!
Here are two different suggestions for how to implement your iSignature.
Website based
If you have a website where you can transfer your signature then, this is a simple solution. Transfer the iSignature you have previously created from your PC to a blank webpage on your site. Then simply browse to the appropriate webpage on your site (on your iPhone/iPad) and just copy the iSignature elements and then paste it into your iPhone/iPad email as you type. That's all it takes.
iPhone/iPad based
Start by sending an Email from your PC to yourself. Make sure that you do not 'collect' the email on your PC but now go to your iPhone/iPad and receive the email there. You should have an email which contains just your new iSignature.
The next part is straightforward but, you might like to think back (if you are old enough) to the days when a printer (that's a person and not a machine) supplied you with headed paper with your logo, address, telephone number... once you ran out you were in deep, deep trouble. Well, you would be in a similar situation so, we will prepare a 'stock' of iSignature emails so that we do not run out at an inopportune moment.
Copy the signature on the iPhone/iPad that you have sent yourself then hit the 'new email' icon. Paste your iSignature into the body of this new email (you do not need to enter anything in the 'To' or 'Subject' fields. Now press 'Cancel' and then 'Save Draft'. Repeat this operation as often as you want; you are just creating your 'stock' of emails.
Now, when you want to send an email just go to your 'Drafts' folder and touch on one of your 'stock' and you have a beautiful email, preprepared with your iSignature to do with as you please.
Enjoy using your new signature and remember that you can have as many as you want... just repeat the process.
Help on creating the icons that you may wish to use will be available on the blog shortly.
