Tools>Signatures should work. What exactly did you try?

Did you create a new signature that includes your website (e.g.,
http://gallery.me.com/ed.com )
Note that the link must begin with http; there is no way to create any other
kind of clickable link directly in Entourage. E.g., you can't create a link
labeled "click here" that links to your web site. (There may be some scripts
that the MVPs know to do this.)

Did you also make the signature the default on the Options tab for the
relevant account?

Ed:
Entertain me, I see no place to make it a default and I can't find the 'options tab'. But yes, I went tools>signatures and I put it there. There was something before that says 'Standard' with a box to check as does the website address. I unchecked the box that is next to 'standard' and checked the one that has my website starting with: <http://www> etc as it did before I I sent in my question
<http://wwww.richardsiegelphotography.com>

.. I checked the situation before I sent in the question and right now by sending an email to one of my different addresses. I am now going to try my gmail and see if the website goes there. It didn't. It didn't make it to either email address.

What should I try next?
<http://wwww.richardsiegelphotography.com>

or what am I missing here?

After I did the above I went Message>signature and apparently I have to do it manually every time... Is there a way to make it show up all of the time so I don't have to keep doing the Message>signature bit? Below is the example of what I was and am trying to do. But I'd like it to show up all of the time without having to do the last step. By the way, said website isn't bought and up yet. But I did notice that it has too many 'W's even though when I typed it in the 'Tools>Signature it only has the three 'W's" I am showing the one that gets for of them so you might give me the next couple of steps. The one below my name I took out the 4th W manually.

Create your signature and save it. Be sure you left the -- space.

Open you Account under Tools in the menu bar. Click on the Options tab. You
should see Default Signature: with a popup to select your signature. Select
your sig from the pop up as your default.

firstly i took a look at the MS web links in the latest message. but i couldn't find anything there that answered my question at all. then i reread the above email and did what Diane said to do, but alas, i still can't figure out where the "OPTIONS tab is, be it under "tools" "tools>somewhere, or in a different area of the Entourage interface or what. it just does not exist in my Entourage program anywhere be it in or somewhere in my main mailbox or one of the others such as the one i am using to test it. where else might i look for this?

or could it be that it doesn't exist at all because i have the 'Home and Student' version of MS Office 2008? in which case i can do it only manually with all outgoing emails?

Under Tools in the Menu bar, open Accounts.
Select your account.
Open in it's own window.
You'll see the Options tab in the account window.

or could it be that it doesn't exist at all because i have the 'Home and
Student' version of MS Office 2008?

No, the only difference in H&S from standard is it doesn't contain Exchange
support or Automator actions for Office.
