An email signature you can use...and some sites

I've received some feedback that leads me to believe that there are others out there who may have experienced some similiar difficulties that I had understanding the process involved in getting podcasts to automatically download to iTunes. To that end, I wrote some HTML to help podcasters simplify the process for their prospective listeners or any listeners who play their mp3s directly from Openpodcast or Audio Weblogs.

Here is the final Signature line that I wrote to appear in all my Yahoo emails. You can either edit it to reflect your podcast or keep it as it is to reflect mine--keeping it to reflect mine is much easier.
:-)

If you would like to share this resource with other prospective listeners--especially teachers, students, or administrators (ya, we'll let the administrators in on the fun until they get outta hand) feel free to copy and paste to your heart's delight.

Copy and Paste the passage below the dotted line into your email Signature field. Directions for getting it into your signature field follows it.

Here's how you get the above instructions in your Yahoo! Mail signature field (you can also paste this anywhere that allows you to use an HTML editor--also know as a rich text editor (they have a formatting bar across the top).

1. Login to Your Yahoo! Email account with Explorer--the HTML feature of Yahoo Mail doesn't work in any other browser (Doh!). Sorry, Firefox, I don't make the rules, I'm just imprisoned by them.
2. Click the Mail Options link on the righthand side.
   
3. Click the Signature link under Personalization.
   
4. Check HTML. NOTE: IE6 users will have to check View HTML Source in order for the pasted-in code (below) to be recognized as proper HTML.
5. Check the Add signatures to all outgoing messages box at the bottom (or don't--it's not like I'm gettin' some big royalty check off this deal).
6. Click Save.
