Don’t rely on images or HTML signatures as not all your recipients may be on Outlook or web based Gmail - use plain ASCII text.

1. Spell out websites.  Don’t count on the HTML signature to work all the time.  Instead of making a hyperlink like “My website” use http://www.onebyonemedia.com.  This also lets people copy and paste into a browser or contact card.

2. Forget the little quotes. While you might think your quote is pithy or wise or funny, it might offend someone or just be confusing.

3. Stick with black text and simple fonts. Arial is on every machine in the world and it was designed to be easily readable on screen.
