Signature on Each Post–Efficiency

Hello Everyone!

 

I include a signature on each of my posts (not at the Chronicle site); it's a jpg with html code that I copy and paste into each post I do. I use wordpress–is there a way to make this automated? I am looking for small efficiencies to make my life easier:).

 

For reference, here is the code:

<a href="http://s805.photobucket.com/albums/yy336/algkent/?action=view&current=Small_Sig_Amanda-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i805.photobucket.com/albums/yy336/algkent/Small_Sig_Amanda-1.png" border="0" alt="Small Signature"></a>

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can add it to your single.php (or whatever the equivalent of that in your theme) after the post. Let me know if you want specific instructions on how to do this (just drop me an email), I will look up your theme and let you know where to add this code.

Suba is right on. With most themes you can just append it to the bottom of Single.php. I use Thesis, and you can append there to the custom_functions or add it with open hooks.

However, you might try to turn your signature into a straight text signature rather than an image to speed up page load time

You guys are great–thank you for taking the time to help me become more efficient (it gets rather annoying having to open a separate document to copy and paste it into each individual post for the week).

Hi Eric–

 

How would I do this? And then if I did it, would I be able to automatically put it into posts? Thank you!

Just create a signature line in text. It would not have your hand signature like you have today, just a text byline, but it would make your site load faster as that element did not have to be retreived. Create the HTML code for that and paste it into the right place on the single.php file from the Wordpress editor.

If you want to keep the image version, just take the HTML snippet you use today and put it in the single.php file and it will show up in every new post automatically.

For either one, you want the code to be below your main post content box above everything else.
