If the will-maker wasn't physically able to sign the document, it is permissible for the will-maker to have directed someone else to sign it, in front of witnesses. It's also common, but not required, for the will-maker to have signed or initialed each page of the document.

In your presence, each witness should initial every page, just as you did (and also in blue ink). They also sign the "attestation" at the end of the document, which states that they saw you sign the document and that you appeared to do so of your own free will, and put down their addresses.
