I'm trying out a new (additional) format for the full newsletter. This one is left-justified and will shrink to fit the width of the window, depending on the user's email program, instead of the fixed-width, centered newsletter that I do right now.

Check it out if you have a moment and let me know your thoughts. I will not be discontinuing the current one. Just offering this as an additional option for those who prefer it. If not many people prefer it, I probably won't spend the additional time to design it each month.

It's under the newsletters tab (both regular and icontact versions) and it's labeled "March TT test copy - do not send to customers".

Thanks!
Joy
 
I like it!
I put together our church's bulletin, and when there are pictures in the different text boxes, I move them around--if one picture is at the left margin, the next box down will have the picture at the right margin. It seems to make it easy to read. (just a thought)
I do like the new format! You do a fantastic job with these newsletters and flyers!! Thank you so much!
 
LOVE it!The only gripe I have with the normal template is that it only works well with the "blank" template at Constant Contact, and I would like to have the option of using a different one (like some of the seasonal templates). This one will be much easier to fineagle into a more elaborate template without hours of fussing.
 
I LOVE the new format. I think that I would use that one over the current one. Not that I don't love the current too, I do. Just love the look of the new one too. :)

Thanks for the feedback! Some of you long-time subscribers might remember I used to do 2 different versions, but I had to stop because I was emailing EVERY single version to everyone when I was doing it via direct email. Now that you can download what you want, I can go back to offering more different versions and letting you choose what works for you.

The original "table"d version of TT works well for people that want a more finished and ready-to-go newsletter, but so many people now are using mailing services so I see the need for content vs. formatting.
 
looks good - thanks the the different options! :)
 
I really like that new format. I will try it next time and ask for feedback from my customers to see what they think. Thanks for the superb job you do :D
 
I like it, too!
 
Just sent out the newer version, love it! :)
