How to do the signature thingy:

I use the Blogger engine for publishing. That interface has a "template" feature where I can put in crap that shows up in every post without me having to explicitly place it there. So I decided to put my little signature at the bottom of every post.

That signature is only a .jpg image I created with my tablet PC and Windows Journal. I just wrote my name, copied the handwriting as an image, and saved it. It now sits on my web server and every blog post simply calls that image with the <img> tag.

You don't have to have a tablet or a digitizer. I did a signature for e-mails when I used Outlook at my last job. I signed my name on a peice of super-bright paper and scanned it in. Easy as pie.

Just get the image and put it at the bottom of every post. The only problem you'll have is matching the background at your blog.
