HOWTO use FeedBurner Headline animator in GMail

Rajesh — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 05:24:13 +0000

I was trying to use the Headline Animator given by the FeedBurner as my email signature in my GMail account.Since Gmail doesnt allow html tags in the signature , i found workaround solution.
Prerequisites:
1. Yahoo mail Account (can be your friends too )
2.GMail Account(ofcourse )
3.Feedburner HeadLine Animator script.

Steps to do :
1. Log in your (or your friend’s ) Yahoo Mail Account
2. goto options (in the top left corner in new Yahoo Mail)
3. Select Mail Options .
4. Select Compose (in the left side menu)
5. copy(ctrl + c) and paste (ctrl +v) the Headline Animator in the signature box and save
6.compose a mail with the new signature (thats automatically added to new mail)
and send it to your GMail account

Log in your GMail account and you can see the Headline Animator as signature in the mail
sent from the Yahoo Mail account.Now you can use this mail as a draft.

If you are very much interested in using ONLY your GMail, i hope the above steps will help you.
