This is a simple tutorial on how to add a signature under your posts with BLOGGER. Find the graphic you want or make one in a program. It is simple..you can do a simple text or scan in the computer. After you have your image add it to a photo hosting site such as photo bucket.  I decided to add my actual signature by scanning into the computer and making it into a "stamp". That will be a tutorial later on.. This is just on how to add the image you already have to your blog posts.  The great thing about this is that it will add to ALL of your posts (including your old ones!)
Step 1- You need to go to your blogger dashboard and click template
Step 2- Click backup and download your template to your desktop. Rename it. 
Step 3- Go to the file on your desktop and right click- Open in Word Pad! Now Click Ctrl+F.
This will pop up:
NOW- Copy THIS CODE:    
   <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><b:include data='post' name='postQuickEdit'/>      
EDIT: You may JUST find THIS code depending on your current layout:      
<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>
PASTE it into the box and click find. 
Step 4- Now go to your photo hosting site and copy and paste the html code and put the tags <center> INSERT CODE</center>
PASTE DIRECTLY under the code I told you to find. It will look like this when you do it:
<div class='post-footer'>
    <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>
<b:include data='post' name='postQuickEdit'/> 
<center><img src='http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff391/happy41ce/signature_zpsba5507cd.png' style='border: none; background: transparent;'/><br/></center>
OR
<div class='post-footer'>
    <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>
<center><img src='http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff391/happy41ce/signature_zpsba5507cd.png' style='border: none; background: transparent;'/><br/></center>
 If you want the signature to not show up on the home page and just under the posts , insert the red code with the code.
<div class='post-footer'>
    <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<center>INSERT HTML HERE</center>
</b:if>
Step 5- SAVE your template as a different name than you originally saved it. This is JUST in-case it did not work and you can back up the first one! I am confident that it worked because I re-done mine as I was typing this tutorial to "be sure".
Step 6- Go back to blogger and back to the backup/restore and browse for the template that you saved after adding the codes above. Upload it and click SAVE. 
Click View Blog and you should see your signature under all of your posts! If this did not work go back to backup/restore and upload the original template you restored at the beginning and try again. If that does not work comment this post and tell me where you are stuck at.  Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions if you have them. Right now, I only know  how to do this in blogger. Thanks so much! If you find this useful, please pin my post to Pinterest by hovering over the first picture in the post and clicking on the left corner =)  
Thank you!! Enjoy!
