Two Short-n-Quik Gmail tips – Updating your signature file and Out of Office message:

I am right in the midst of working with the tech team in moving an entire school district of teachers, administrators and students over to using Gmail as our shared email system.  It is so fascinating to watch the ways that people embrace change.  We have been using an older email system called Groupwise, made by Novell for 12+ plus years.  Some people are not happy with the change.  They like the current system and want to keep using it.  Others are clamoring to get on the new email system and start using it as soon as possible.

Some common questions have come up recently when using Gmail and I thought it might be helpful to you to share a few tips we are learning as we go along.  If you have a Gmail account and have ever wondered how to do the following, here are some short-n-quik instructions.
