    I saw the beta version!

    I think it is very nice, especialy the small screen size for all those Hotmail small screen users.

    not bad, I prefer a slightly different format to my newsletters, Jofta writes a damn good newsletter

    I'd like to see a short table of contents at the top, then:

    • Welcome member
    • From the webmaster
    • Site news
    • Downloads section
    • Coming soon
    • site stats


    Also, the HTML newsletter, the banner down the right looks wrong, very wrong. I'd have to admit when I first glanced at it I thought it was one of those geocities ads! Possibly look at making it blend in a little more with the rest of the newsletter.

    Hope that helps, as I said, check out my last newsletter although I guess they're kinda personal so do what you feel is right for your site

    Hi tublu -

    I've taken the liberty of editing your newsletter text.

    You can download my version at this link - my edited version is at the top, while your original text is underneath. I hope you can use it, and you don't mind me correcting some stuff. I thought it might help.

    Cheers

    (BTW, it might lose some of its formatting, but I'm sure you can figure it out)

    thanks Guys for the fantastic set of replies .. [*] Gerb , I guess have heard that one before lol[*] Vamps , you are rite , but thats why I try to send newsletters lesser in no. only once in a month , and try to make it a bit colourful , and sort of personal . [*] Jamble, I know the side graphics this time looked mor like a banner ... but that isn't the case usualll .. check prevoius months .Last Months Newslterre it was more pluged in with the rest of the page . This month I wanted it to be more colour ful , hence the use of diferent colours as I was trying ot promote the Gallery

    Can't guarantee anything, but send it through the Hurricane site (before you mail it out, probably better that way ), I'll see what I can come up with.

    You can't really put dynamic data in a newsletter... because the HTML has to be sent with it, only way I can think of is to dynamically create an image that has the text for the stats on it.
