How does one add their signature to a webpage?

I see many websites including that of Ros, that have what looks like a hand written signature at the bottom. What is the best method of doing this or is there a special font on can use?

I want to find different fonts online to use, what is the better sites anyone has found? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Duane

Hello Duane,

Good questions! and those 'real-looking' signatures do look nice and much more personal don't they?

All I did was write my name on a piece of paper, scan it, open it in Paint Shop Pro and make sure the white around the name was actually the white used in web design (#ffffff). Then I saved the file as a .gif and Voila! ... my signature.

You can find fonts at Fonts.com, but if it's a really popular font, you'll likely find a free download site for it just by searching Google.

For example, after a computer crash I was looking to replace 'Festus' which is the font I use at Sage-Hearts.com.

I found it at TypeNow.net from where I downloaded it for free.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Ros

Merry Christmas Eve Morning Ros,

That is perfect with the information on the signature and the site for the Fonts. Just what I was looking for, I always have liked the Sage-Hearts font that you chose. I may have to use that font one day for the appropriate website. But for now, I am just trying to get my first idea off the ground and into action. Then hopefully with that new experience, many more will follow.

Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas to everyone in the NPT forum!

Duane
