Freelancer: GMail will require HTML, while the code you’re using is the RedBubble markup code!

I tried this in yahoo-
options/Signature/In box -
http://www.redbubble.com/people/lexsis/recipe:banner/lexsis_banner.jpg
Save

I get an active link to the banner.

What am I neglecting to do?

lexsis, you need to include the html for the image:

<a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/lexsis/"><img src="http://www.redbubble.com/people/lexsis/recipe:banner/lexsis_banner.jpg"></a>

Where should I put it in Yahoo?

Sorry, didn’t need to ask that one. For some reason it didn’t work at first, but seems to now.

Martin, I wrote it in html as you wrote it for lexsis:

any way it didn’t work:(
just line with code

p.s. tried to write “Freelancer” and “freelancer” – no difference…
:(

Freelancer, if you try to include HTML in a redbubble post, it typically won’t show up, as your browser is trying to interpret it ;-)

Instead, to get HTML to show up here, you’ll need to use the following:
&lt; instead of <
&gt; instead of >
&quot; instead of "

What internet program are you using Freelancer as it will not work in GMail on Internet Explorer you need Firefox and Better GMail plugin to get images to show up in signatures

Freelancer Freelancer 212 posts

Thank you Martin for the tip.
So, I was writing:
<a href=”http://www.redbubble.com/people/freelancer/”><img src=”http://www.redbubble.com/people/freelancer/recipe:banner/freelancer_banner.jpg”></a>

Shelley, I am using Firefox with Better Gmail and Better Gmail 2 installed.

Still receiving line with html text :(

Freelancer here is a link with step by step instructions on how to use html signatures and better gmail2.

My guessing is that you are trying to insert the html in the box on the settings page and this in not the way to go, you will see the difference in the link.

Also you do not need both better gmail and better gmail 2 you should uninstall both and then make sure greasemonkey is installed and then only reinstall better gmail 2 and you have to make sure you are using the new version of gmail (again explained in the link). These instructions work as I just followed them to setup up my signature.

Thank you Shelley! It works finally!!!!!!

My pleasure guys.. it took me a bit to figure it out… but once I found the link it was easy. I have always been a fan of RTFM (read the f#n manual), I just had to find the f*n manual first :)

Has anyone had success using this in Windows Mail on the Vista platform?

HRLambert HRLambert 24 posts

i cant get any of this to work on my hotmail :(

StephenH StephenH 2 posts

I’ve got it working with Vista (using Windows Mail).

These instructions may look tricky, but I think it’s easier than it looks.

1. Open Notepad (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad)

2. Enter this text:

<IMG src=”http://redbubble.com/people/RB_USER_NAME/recipe:banner/RB_USER_NAME_banner.jpg”/>

Use your RedBubble username:

eg, “http://redbubble.com/people/StephenH/recipe:banner/StephenH_banner.jpg”

3. Save the file as an HTM file

Select File -> Save As…

Enter the file name “mail_signature.htm”

and select “Save as type: All files”

4. Checkpoint: Use the file browser (Explorer) to confirm that the file has been saved as an html file. It should have an Internet Explorer icon, and if you open it, you should see your signature. If you don’t, you need to go through the steps until you do see the signature in Internet Explorer.

5. Open Windows Mail (or your mail client).

6. Select Tools -> Options -> Signatures

7. Check “Add signatures to all outgoing messages”

8. Under “Edit Signature”, select the “File” radio button

9. Browse to the file you just created, and select Open

10. Click OK.

11. Create a mail message, and you should see your signature! (You may just see a blank image. Send a test message to yourself, accept any blocked content, and you should see the signature.)

This is the HTML for a horizontal banner that will link to your Redbubble profile.

(A href=”http://www.redbubble.com/people/yourusername”)(IMG
src=”http://redbubble.com/people/yourusername/recipe:banner/yourusername_banner.jpg”)(/A)

Note the inverted commas (they look a bit like asterisks on here, they are INVERTED COMMAS or speech commas if you prefer.)
Where I have used brackets, use left and right arrows. I have had to use brackets here because the forum does not allow HTML and if I use arrows the code becomes invisible on here!! Hence the disguise by brackets!

Do you have MS Office installed and do you use Outlook? In Outlook you can use Advanced Edit via Tools/Options/Mail Format/Signatures/Edit/Advanced Edit

This will open an Office version of Front Page. Click the Code tab at the bottom, then just paste in this code. Change instances of yourusername to your user name of course, otherwise you will get a small blank square instead of your banner. If you think your code is correct, click the Design or Preview tab to see that it works. If it doesn’t, check you code carefully and make sure you have inserted the arrow keys instead of brackets, and make sure you have not inserted any spaces where there should be none. Do exactly as described and it WILL work!

Hope this helps those with MS Office and Outlook.
