Letterpop

I experimented with Letterpop. It was easy to upload my photos and to work with the stock photos. There's a wonderful assortment of templates from which to choose. These are divided into catagories such as holidays, birthdays, journals, etc.

Here's the message that comes up after you have e-mailed your newsletter:

Yay! Wasn't that easy?
Your newsletter has been queued for sending. What does that mean, exactly? It means that your newsletter will be sent as quickly as possible, if not at this precise moment. It depends on how much mail is being sent right now but usually newsletters are delivered very quickly. You will receive a confirmation email as soon as it has been sent.

What next?
Well, you could send another one, of course. Or you could turn off the computer, put your feet up, and bask in the glory of all the time you just saved.

Whatever you do next, we hope it's something that makes you happy.

Thing 25: Newsletters in a Pop!

The first thing one must do to use this is to register. It is free and very easy to use. But you can't try it out without signing up. I created an Easter newsletter/invitation but I will be working on another newsletter to post here.
Stay tuned.

Waiting for conversion...

I quickly typed a short document to experiment with Zamzar free online conversion. It loaded quickly but now I must wait for them to send me an e-mail. After that, I will have 24 hours in which to complete the download of my newly created PDF file.

I haven't had any reason to convert files but I can see that this would be useful if I needed to send files out to people who required a different format or if I dealt with HTML files regularly.

The process was incredibly easy and took only minutes to complete. Hopefully the outcome will be as successful.

Learning 2.1 - 24 - 47

Just in time - I feel like I am getting rusty. Some of the things I once felt comfortable doing, I know longer do. I hope to try some of the new things while brushing off the older ones.
