HTML signatures in Gmail

As most Gmail users would know, HTML signatures are not supported in Gmail. I’ve just moved my domain over to Google Apps, and I’m really not liking the standard text signatures.

Today I went on a quest to see if there was a work around, more specifically I wanted to see if there was a Greasemonkey script that could do something, but I found one better, an actual Firefox add-on.

Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures automatically inserts HTML signatures into your Gmail message. So far I’m yet to come across any problems with this plugin. You can have multiple signatures, and also works with multiple accounts.

There is only one drawback for my use. I have a bookmark that opens the compose message window in a new window in the sidebar, and this add-on doesn’t yet support that, but this is no biggy.

Now that I have a HTML signature, I’m happy. It’s been one thing that has annoyed me, and I think that Google should add this in, but until then, this add-on will do, and I’m happy. :)

Firefox For a World Record

Download Day 2008

Firefox has to be the best web browser that I’ve ever used. It’s so customisable and it’s great. Since the first day I started using it many years ago, I’ve never looked back. I’d have to say that the main thing that got me hooked was the tabbed browsing. It’s so much neater and a heck of a lot better then having the task bar full of website and a million different windows.

Firefox is just about to hit a new stage of it’s life. It’s about to hit the public release of version 3. I’m currently running the latest beta version RC3. I’ve been having a peak at version 3 since Beta 2 and much say that I’m excited to see where things are going with the web browser. The latest version of Firefox is the best yet with over 15,000 improvements over the previous versions.

To help celebrate the launch of Firefox 3, the team are trying to set a new Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours. People can make a pledge to download the new version on June 17th. There will also be a special certificate that you can download on the day.
