How to Add a Signature to WordPress Blog Posts
Have you ever wondered how bloggers add a special ‘signature’ design at the bottom of every blog post? Well I’m going to show you how to add a signature to wordpress blog posts today!

- Use graphic software like Adobe Photoshop, PicMonkey.com or Canva.com
- Sign a piece of paper and scan it.
- Have a custom design created by a graphic designer like me.
