Blogging Tips for Adding a Signature


A few blogging101 tips for adding a custom signature to your comments & posts...

I recently left a comment on my friend's blog post.  Brett posted a great piece titled, "Rebooting Education."  Shortly after leaving my comment, he contacted me via Twitter to ask the following:


The natural motto these days seems to be, "It started with a Tweet..."  Well, this post (like many) was inspired via a Tweet.  Brett and I began going back and forth while many other people started jumping in our conversation (gosh, I love Twitter!).  Next thing you know, there was a hash tag and a request for a new Twitter chat, html for beginners.  #Inspiring

Adding a link in a comment: (your signature code for comments)
Copy the code below and add your specific information:
<i><b><a href="paste your entire url here">write what you want it to read</a></b></i>
Here is my example:
<i><b><a href="http://www.kleinspiration.com/">Kleinspiration</a></b></i> When you add a comment to a blog post, simply write your comment, add your closing (Thanks, Erin), and paste your signature code below your name.

  5. Love the post Erin. Sometimes I feel like I have learned more from following great educators on Twitter (like you) than I did in my Master's program! Looking forward to more great posts.

  9. Is there a way to save this so you don't have to paste the link every time you comment? Thanks for your help. I've been wondering how to do this.

  11. Shauna,

    I don't know of a way to have this code auto-saved as you comment... bummer. I just copy/paste it each time. I have it saved on my desktop.

    Thanks,

    Erin
