You might want to add a custom automatic signature below each of your blog posts. This would be more useful if you are running a Team Blog with multiple authors. You can use unique signatures for each author.The same can be done on a single author blog also :)
Adding Signature to Single Author / Multi Author Blogger Blogs
1. Create a Signature using Photoshop or some online Generators like My Live Signature
2. Upload this signature image to blogger.Once its uploaded hit preview and copy the image location(Note down the URL of the image).
3.Now Go to Layout > Edit HTML and Expand your Widget Templates
4.Now Find
<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>
If you cant find it then try finding this one
<p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>
or this one
<data:post.body/>
a) If you are using a Single author blog, paste the following code below the code you found
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <img src='url_of_your_signature_image' style='border:0px;'/> </b:if>
Code should be edited with your signature image URL
b) If you are on a Team Blog, paste the following code just below the code you found
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <b:if cond='data:post.author == "Author1Name"'> <img src='url_of_author1_signature_image' style='border:0px;'/> </b:if> <b:if cond='data:post.author == "Author2Name"'> <img src='url_of_author2_signature_image' style='border:0px;'/> </b:if> </b:if>
If you have more number of authors, you can repeat the blocks accordingly(here i have mentioned 2 blocks[blue and brown] one for each of the two authors).Codes should be edited with the author names and the signature image URLs.
If you want the Signature to appear on your Blog’s main page as well, then you will have to remove those 2 red lines of code.
5.Save your template and you should see the signature in action :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Aneesh.
ReplyDeleteAneesh, I use Linkwithin and get a problem because my signature are stay below this tools.

ReplyDeleteprobably you will have 2 of them as you are using the old Automatic Post summary thing. So figure out where to place it.. Somewhere below the conditional tags would do..
Thanks Aneesh :)

and you can place the signature code below it.
Great idea. Easy enough to do to. Thank you

ReplyDeleteHi Aneesh.I wonder why I can't have the live signature up on my blog?

@c4d4e4f4 - add the code mentioned in 4.a) to your blog.
ReplyDeleteHello again Aneesh..
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry again, I have inserted the code but still the signature just can't appear.help me pls.
ok Aneesh, thx..i've managed to do that..but using the original image URL when generating the image from MyLiveSignature site.What's wrong with the URL derived from signature image uploaded to blogger? I had previewed it,copy the link image location;inserted in the code but the signature failed to load.Can you help me? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but blogger doesn't show anything. Please help me : /
ReplyDeletehttp://glitzerponysranch.blogspot.com/
hi, this is a really great post. I followed your instrustions; however, I found that it is easier and less complicated if I use the html of my signature provided by "mylivesignature" to insert in the html of each post :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great stuff for me who intend to start with blogger.com for alternatives besides wp.
ReplyDeleteThanks and regards,
Hi Aneesh,
ReplyDeleteI just implemented another one of your work. Thanks, again :) http://www.adouseofinspiration.com/
Aneesh, I have read and pasted and I can not get this to work. My friend and I share a blog and would love to add our signatures automatically. Right now, we just copy/paste the HTML code that was generated by MyLiveSignature as we add a post. Could you please explain this a bit more to someone who knows absolutely nothing about html code.
ReplyDeleteOur blog is http://milesandus.blogspot.com/
Thanks in advance!
@Mary - leave me your email via the Contact Form on this blog and i will send you the codes.. :).. if i post codes here in the comment form, it will automatically change the html posted in the comment and so the code wount work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, I actually did it a little different. At first I did it your way, but then I went and did it so that it was in the post each time I went to post something in my blog. I have a saying at the end of each of my blogs, which says "Until next time...", and I thought it would be cool to spice it up with that. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
thanks for the post look me blog........

When creating Signatures at MyLiveSignature, opt for the Transparent background in the Wizard or else your signature will look bad with white on pink.
thanx a lot
ReplyDeleteVery userful with me, thanks !

Thankyou - your instructions are great!
ReplyDeleteI have an issue, when I first used this code with my 3rd party template it worked just fine. But now that I have switched over to one of Blogger's template the format is all messed up
ReplyDeleteExample:
'My Signature' Posted by my name at 2:50pm
I want my name to be replaced with my signature not have them both.I have removed the code because I didn't want my blog post to be messed up.Can you help me?
This is excellent Aneesh, my only issue is how do I get the signature to only show on the post and not on the main page. When I do the jump break the signature still shows on the main page and the "read more" link shows up below the signature on the main page. I would rather not have the signature show on the main page. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeletesame is happening to me. Did you get it sorted?
Deletei have updated the post. Check out the changes :-)
DeleteI can't find the 3 codes!
ReplyDeleteI am using the simple template and when I expand Widgets I don't have any of those codes... I have this, where would I put my image link and what would the code be...Thanks!
ReplyDelete/* Widgets
----------------------------------------------- */
.widget .zippy {
color: $(widget.alternate.text.color);
text-shadow: 2px 2px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
}
.widget .popular-posts ul {
list-style: none;
}
superb it is working,,,,,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteOther languages are also supported
In step "2." you put "upload this signature image to blogger", how do I do that?
ReplyDelete@Kelly Maatman
ReplyDelete1.Save the signature image to your PC
2.Create a draft post in blogger.
3.Add the image(that you saved to your PC)
4. Once it is uploaded, you will get the url(link) of the image(You can get this from the Edit HTML tab of the post Editor.Copy that url.
Hope this explains :)
Mine worked but their is blue border around the signature.. how can i change the blue border in any color i want?
ReplyDeleteHi. Plz.. How can i remove blue border around my signature?
ReplyDelete@Renson Kimori - you already figured that out right?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletewhen you say upload an image to Blogger do you mean add it to a server like Picasa and copy the URL? I know how to add an image to a Blogger post, but I can't see any way to upload an image by itself to the same location as my blog...
@Local Search News Blog - all images uploaded via blogger go into your picasa account. you can upload the image anywhere and get the direct link to the image.
ReplyDeleteAneesh...I'm just not getting it. I;ve posted the following after data:post.body
ReplyDeletecenter > < img src='https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/pLj2wKrEuXWxsL7nNHRJZuUzlZMzH6l3H_9Vtr-1ibg?feat=directlink' style='border:0px;'/> </center
with and with out the center. Still not signature. Can you help?
http://hastywife.blogspot.com
Wow thanks. How did you find this? I thought I had done this in transparent but now it is still black. Do you know what I've done wrong?
ReplyDeleteHow do you find the direct link?
ReplyDeleteHi Aneesh, can you help me out a bit?
ReplyDelete1. I tried following your advise on how to place the signature in the center, and it turns out ok. But when I changed center to right, the signature won't go to to the right. Is it possible to make it on the right-hand side?
2. The other one is, do you know how to make the signature visible on previous posts as well?
Appreciate your help, thanks!
Aneesh, don't mind problem number 1, i solved it just now :) But still hoping you'd know how to put the signature in previous posts ;p
ReplyDeletenice one. thx
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! I had been searching for some advanced way to do ths and this post was really helpful!
ReplyDelete@Huddy - it will appear on all posts irrespective of whether its older or newer.
ReplyDelete@Shasty - click on the "Edit HTML" tab in your Blogger post editor, and you will be able to see the link to the image
Thank you so much, I must have tried about 100 different websites over a month and yours was the only one that worked! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for your clear, concise directions!!
ReplyDeleteCan I know how to move my signature to right side?
ReplyDeleteIt's not working on my blog http://crumpyliciousblog.blogspot.com
