- Right click on the file and click ‘Open with’ > Notepad (or edit with Notepad++)
- Use the search function (CTRL+F or Edit > Find) and search for ‘o:href=https://widget.
clearlyrated.com’ - Once you find that, carefully read the text after that and find the first 'src=' after ‘o:href=https://widget.
clearlyrated.com’, which is not likely on the same line and could be several lines below it - Go back to your Email Signature Widget Editor and copy your personal widget image URL that is listed below the 'Copy Widget' button
- Go back to the file you opened with Notepad and replace whatever is in FILE_LOCATION that you see in src=’FILE_LOCATION’ with your personal widget image URL that you copied in the prior step
- Be sure to save
