All you should have to do to add the email signature is copy and paste the code that is provided for you on the affiliate page into the signature options in your email client. Find the signature settings in your email client, and then all you have to do is copy and paste the provided code into the signature box.

As to your web page, and the fact that you're not very proficient in coding, I have a suggestion. Save the image to your computer, and then use your web authoring software to insert the image on the page. Then, go to the affiliates page and get the code under the button that you selected. Copy the link that's within the (a href=" ") tag. In your authoring software, assign a hyperlink to the SFx image, and enter the affiliate URL that you copied into the field for the image URL.

Hope this was of some help. If you were confident enough to actually hand-write the code, it would actually be easier (for me anyway. However, that's easy for me to say since I've been authoring raw HTML since my freshman year in high school (which was 4 years ago).).

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

email sig doesn't work for me...

I have Office at work...when I paste the code, I get, well, the code in my signature...I don't get it.

 also, seems I don't have the option of including two sigatures with every email (I have to include my company's standard one, but wanted to do firefox, too.)

found out the hard way...
Submitted by compusmart02 on Thu, 05/10/2007 - 22:47.

I found out the hard way that not all email programs/providers support HTML-based signatures. For example, when I put the email sig code into my GMail account, all I see is the code. The link shows up as a link, but I can still see the raw HTML code that I put in the signature box in the options section.... 

Only certain email programs also support more than one signature. I know that the newest version of M$ Outhouse (a.k.a. Outlook) supports that function, as that's what I'm forced to use at work. However, I think that the different signatures are for original emails vs. replies or forwards.

if you are allowed at work,

if you are allowed at work, use Thunderbird for your emails. there are several extensions to append signatures. for your mail you can create signatures for private, work or both. I think, only one signature is possible at the same time.
