Email newsletter/ezine templates
Since you don't include a css file or header info, how do you set the link colors? |

Re: Email newsletter/ezine templates
Embed the stylesheet within the body of the page, e.g.,

Re: Email newsletter/ezine templates
Murray is correct, but remember that there are zillions of email clients out
there and some of them ignore CSS all together (ex. gmail). so be sure you test your newsletter on as many platforms as you can. Then, dont be suprised when they all look VERY different. |

Re: Email newsletter/ezine templates
Thank you, that's helpful.
Do you design your html email templates with no css whatsoever? How do you define link color, padding, etc without any css? |

Re: Email newsletter/ezine templates
Generally I design html-based emails using semantic HTML... that means that
I mark everything up exactly according to the type of content being displayed. That means if I have a heading, I use an <h1> or <h2> (etc) tag instead of a <p> that is styled with CSS; if I have a new paragraph, I use a <p> tag, not a couple <br> tags; and so on... this means that in the event a recipient is using gmail (we'll use that client for these purposes) then the email degrades well. In other words, it does not necessarily appear the way I intend, but the email will appear as readable as can be hoped. I also make sure (whenever possible) that the content appears in the HTML in the order I wish it to display. For example, I would never put the sign-off ("Thanks for reading this email, bye") at the top of my markup and then use CSS to make it appear at teh bottom; if i do and the CSS is not supported, then the email will start "Thanks for reading this email, bye" Remember though, I still include CSS to style my emails - I just have to consider what happens when CSS is removed or (more complexly) partially supported. Hotmail (livemail) for instance does not fully support "float" so I have to expect that any content i tried to float will now appear as a block level element. May not look AS good, but if I design correctly, it still looks acceptable (acceptable = easily readable + organized) For some more good advice, check http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog..._in_emai_2.html Alex |

Re: Email newsletter/ezine templates
