I'm looking for a little tech help here

I'm trying to add the LinkedIn generated button to my Outlook signature so people I email can click on it and see my profile.

Problem is it seems I can either copy the actual cool looking button - but the link doesn't work (it's just an icon)

-OR

I can copy the HTML, but that looks terrible and has to be copied & pasted to work.

Anyone know how to get this done so the button actually links to my profile?

Thanks

Here is a simple way.

1. Copy and paste the linked in button just like an image.

2. Make the image a hyperlink pointing to your profile page.

Hope this helps

I actually recommend not doing this. Adding hyperlinks and graphics to your signature file can get a lot of your email flagged as spam.

When I first got oulook 2007 I loved being able to attach my business card as part of my sig file, but about half of my email got returned to me.
