Hotmail

Register for some web space (Check to see if they allow remote linking).
Once you get signed up, click upload and browse to your signature, title it and click "upload now".
Once it is uploaded, click on the thumbnail. On the next screen your signature will appear larger.
Right click the image and go to "properties". Make a note of the Address (URL) of your image. You could either write it down or highlight and right click;copy. 
Okay, now we're ready to go to hotmail. 
Once into your hotmail account: 
Click "compose" 
There is a pull down "Tools" Menu right above the message area on the left. Pull that down and make sure the Rich Text Editor is ON. If it already says ON, do nothing. If it says OFF, click on it and wait a few seconds for the page to reload. Be sure it says ON now. 
Click the "options" tab. Under "Additional Options" click "signatures". In the blank box type <img src="URL OF YOUR SIG HERE"> 
If you copied the URL to your clipboard, you can paste it here. If not, just type it in. Don't forget the quotation marks. 
Click "OK" 
Now click compose again. You'll see the link you just typed in. Back to the "Tools" menu and turn your Rich Text Editor OFF. Wait a few and your wondeful signature should appear! 
In the future, every time you click compose, your sig should be there...provided that your Rich Text Editor is still OFF. 
THAT'S IT!
