title: How to add an html email signature to outlook 2010
body: <p>I have created an email signature in HTML and would like to use it in Outlook 2010. However, there are few things I am getting stumped on.</p>
  
  <p><em>Some preface info</em>:</p>
  
  <p>(I included my logo, and four social media icons with links in my signature. I just uploaded the images to dropbox and linked to them in my code)</p>
  
  <p>My code opened fine and looked as it should it my browser, so I saved the code to the signatures folder. I went to compose a new message and tried inserting my signature, but no dice. Outlook recognizes that the signature exists in the signature folder, but when I click on it, it isn't included in the message.</p>
  
  <p>I read <a href="https://spinwebnz.wordpress.com/2010/08/12/how-to-add-an-html-signature-file-to-outlook-2007/" rel="nofollow">here</a> that Outlook needs 3 different files (in .htm, .txt and .rtf formats). in order for a signature to work. But I'm not convinced that this is the case. To test this theory, I went to <a href="http://www.htmlsig.com" rel="nofollow">htmlsig.com</a> and created a signature. It was just a simple html document. I downloaded the signature and saved it to the signature folder. I then opened Outlook, created a new message, and was able to insert <em>that</em> signature just fine.</p>
  
  <p>I opened up the signature folder to see what kinds of files were in there, and the only file in there was a single Chrome HTML document. </p>
  
  <p><em>My question</em>:</p>
  
  <p>How can I add my html file to be used as an email signature?</p>
  
  <p>In case you were curious, here is my source code: (Its a work in progress)</p>
