Possible problem and solution

“mail.google.com says: Sorry, the signature for yourname@gmail.com is too long. Please try a shorter signature.” is a common problem you may encounter after you click “save changes” in STEP 5. When this happens, you need to eliminate some elements from the HTML email signature design and install again. “Less is more” is a great design principle to follow when deciding what to include in your HTML email signature.
