Hi Joy,

I cannot figure out how to you from tastytidbits.

I just sent out my July newsletter and recieved this email from iContact:

I removed the wording in the newsletter: REMOVAL: If you would like to be removed from this mailing, please reply with the word REMOVE in the subject line. and it went through.

Thank you!

Was that version B? I just fixed the wording - sorry I missed that. iContact doesn't like us to say "reply with the word remove" and I change it to "click the link below" to unsubscribe, but I sometimes forget to update the versions when I upload it to my site.Try it again and see if that works.My email is [email protected] - you can always reach me directly that way if you need to. Thanks!

Thanks Joy,

I just removed the wording myself and it went right through.

I have a question for Joy, or any other HTML experts who use TT:I just finished prepping my August newsletter, except the Find Me On Facebook button links to a blank page. Where in the HTML can I put in my page URL so it links directly to my page?I'd like to send out my TT later today, so if I get a reply in time I'll fix it. If not, I'll delete that segment, and try it again next month.TIA

Did you update your TT profile with your Facebook URL? If your profile is updated, then the FB icon should link directly to your URL. You do not need to edit the HTML yourself (though you can if you want to).

this may sound like a silly question but where do I find my Facebook URL?

 

[pampchefsarah]

Oh, I didn't know to do this! Well, that makes it a lot simpler! Thanks.

Your Facebook URL is whatever web link that you want to direct people to. For example, the Tasty Tidbits FB Fan page is www . facebook . com / tastytidbits (without the spaces). You can set up a custom profile URL or fan page URL (I believe you have to have 25 fans before you can do it for a business page). You can get one for your personal profile at Login | Facebook.Sarah- I'm sorry - I think I blasted it on Facebook but didn't advise everyone of it on my mailing list. I am going to send out another note tonight or tomorrow when I finish the fall flash and I will mention that you need to update your profile for the link to work right. I am so sorry for the oversight.
