To share with a friends, few simple steps to add facebook, blogger or any other sharing site quick link in text and graphical (icon style) to your mac mail signature without any html or programming high skill.
Before begin, these few things are needed.
1. Text editor;
2. Site icons, I used fb & blogger in size 32x32 and looks just nice;
3. Site address, eg: www.facebook/yourUserName (click here more info);
4. Simple signature that still in use. (Will be replace after this) Click here if haven't got any.
Next, we shall begin typing your desire information using text editor including to drag in those sharing site icons you have prepare earlier.
Next inserting those link info (sharing site web address) to those icons individually by doing so, highlight the icon then go to Format from menu bar, select Text then Link then paste the web address.
Once done, hightlight the entire info that just created, copy them to clipboard then goes to Mac Mail, open up Preferences goes to Signature and paste it here or overwrite the current one)
Done, hope it helps you.

Hi, I tried this over and over, but when you click on the icon, nothing happens. No taking you to the Facebook, Twitter etc page! And I've followed the instructions to the LETTER! Help. CAn you tell me why this method is not working please? (It sounded SO simple and great!)
I look forward to hearing from you.

I wish I'd read these comments BEFORE I spent half and hour trying this FAIL!!!

Thanks to the comment above! That worked a charm. The method described on this site wouldn't work because I could not "select" the icon in order to add a hyperlink. But it was dead easy through Mac Mail.
