Tickers: Outlook Express

Outlook and Outlook Express require a 2-step process for creating signatures.

First, you need to set up an external HTML file with your ticker code saved inside.

Copy the code below to Windows Notepad:

<br />
<a href="http://www.babysfirstsite.com"><img src="http://www.babysfirstsite.org/newtickers/ticker/xxxxx.birthday.png" border="0" /></a>

Change the xxxxx to your unique ticker ID number (you can find this in your ticker code). Then, make sure the ticker type is correct for the ticker you'd like to display (birthday, birthdue, sigmaker). Save the file as sig.html.


In Outlook Express:

1. Go to Tools --> Options
2. Choose the "Signatures" tab
3. Press "New"
4. Under "Edit Signature", select the button next to "File"
5. Click "Browse"
6. In the dialog, change the "Files of Type" dropdown to "All Files (*.*)"
7. Locate the sig.html file that you saved on your PC.
8. Check the box at the top of the screen that says, "Add signature to all outgoing messages"
9. Press "OK"
