I must confess, I read that last post rather fast and in my brain it processed as "We'll get him into Charlie in no time, and then the jr. admins". This was quickly responded to with "oh @!&%, what did i just get myself into?". Then I reread the post, and my brain quickly responded with "oh @!&%, what did I just get myself into?". Posted Image

Knock ...Knock....


What's there? :unsure:


You've got mail!!! The SD.com Newsletter has arrived!! :wakawaka:

Okay Okay so I maybe a little premature but it will happen this weekend and posting this to get you all excited about it (and so that Kamala can't make any more changes :teeth: )

So now I'm back to my old ways of soliciting :helpsmily: I'm in the process of rounding helpers up for the next installment. So remember those great ideas you all had, lets put them to good use.

Shoot me a PM if you'd like to help or if you'd like to help and you aren't a premiere member (what are you waiting for?) you can post on this thread and I'll find you via email. :thankyou:

Make sure you never run out of Erica!

Nope!

Erica has been AWESOME!!! She has had amazing ideas and has taken my ideas and made them reality! She EVEN made sure that the newsletter has SD colors and I think it looks great! And she has made it all work 'technically' which is REALLY the hardest part! :banghead:

I'm sure it ALL will evolve but like a fine wine...it will only get better with time!

And I'm excited that Landlocked Dive Nut, Coziac and Dugan Alexzander will all be helping out with the NEXT edition!!!

I'm waiting for someone to either buy it for me or a full time job. Now when you wish in one hand and @!&% in the other I'll give you a guess which fills up first. (I'm wishing someone would pay for me). So TXAD, [looks liked TAXeD], the wench has my email, feel free to get it from her.

So, I saw the newsletter today. It looks GREAT! You did an amazing job. I love the color pallet, the layout, and how you announce notable members (for joining/winning something). It really helps to promote site unity (knowing that other people are active and occasionally winning something).

One comment about the sidebar, in the "In This Issue" portion, the text feels cluttered and I had some difficulty discerning if a line was a new topic or the continuation of the line before it. You used bullet points on all the other side bar sections and I feel that they, or some other separation device, would really clear up the small issue with an otherwise perfect newsletter.

:iagree: some delineation is needed here, just for readability.

It won't let me change the spacing or add bullets in that block. Constant Contact generates that block automatically all I can do is change the colors :(

I can shorten the text that appears there so that there is only one line for each article.

Is it a default box? Perhaps we can discard it and make it a custom box and call it something similar so it will allow us to format?

I'm working on it. I went to the CC community boards and there are other folks with this issue. Hopefully I'll have it figured out tonight.

Hey Newsletter helpers, I've figured out a fix and the latest and greatest draft should be in your email boxes.
