E-Newsletter Email Compatibility

E-Newsletter is the most crucial thing for a company to market their products. Even for traditional companies (companies that physically exist and do most of their transaction offline) already starting to look into this and invite people to their company/store/site by promoting special offer, latest update using the e-newsletter. The tradition of archiving client and potential client emails regularly is become a common practice for them due to make their marketing goals success.

But how about if we discuss the design-wise of it? Each email client will have their own character on showing the code. Your layout is ok in apple mail, but suddenly you see a different thing when you open it using gmail, hotmail, entourage, or ms outlook. And, we can not assume people only use one particular email clients. Not too mention other email client that is not to common in our daily life such as ibm lotus and so on. The more complex your design and table structure the more difficult for you to solve the compatibility issue. Most of the time the problem is more into the 'css padding' of the layout and this issue got nothing to do with browser, only because each of the email client have their own rules on displaying the layout that you've coded. Thats the reason why in every newsletter you received you will see "please click this link if you have problem on viewing the layout" and it will take you to another web link showing the same e-newsletter that you receive in your email.. play safe..

Here are some of the email compatibility tables that i found on the web few months back. Although is not really complete but it tested using a few most common email client that people use, and from the tables you can see the character and the css limitation in every email clients.

For you..

Busyuuk..
Don't think to much about it,
I love you the way you are..

But we got plenty of times..
Learning is always the best way for us..

Pelan2 kita coba terus..
Pelan2 kita bangun foundation 'cinta' yg lebih solid..
Pelan2 kita lewatin smuanya..

'bX-y6cz0v' error code..

I'm sure for blogger who love to spend most of their time tweaking their blog layout are very familiar with this error code. I myself have experience many times when tried to edit the css n xml. And the best part is..when you see this error page once, it will keep continue showing the same thing no matter what you do. Even if you upload the template that you've back up earlier, re-code the whole thing, or even copy paste the valid code from your text editor...still, same error message will appear. I'm not sure whether this bug only appears in a particular web browser or happens to all web browser, but at that time i was using my firefox. Luckly there so many nice people out there in the internet are willing to share their experience and give solution..i manage to fix the problem then. And now i'm passing you the information

All you need to do is:
1. Close your mozilla
2. Open other browser such as safari or ie
3. Go to layout and click the edit html link
4. Re upload the template file that save earlier (since that you play a lot with the layout I assume you already backup the template file..)
5. !!! problem fix and you can get back to your firefox for your blogging routine.

Hope this helps..:)


Out of the blue..

Out of the blue suddenly i just feel like to write something. My sweet plum was talking about her day and in so sudden i feel need to write then I tell her so. Stop the conversation for a while and tell to get back to her later. Hmm i wonder why..few second ago i tried to recall what happen today that bring my interest on this blogging thingy rise up..and..yeap i think i know why.

This evening in the office, I was revising a copy for one of the advertorial layout that i did for the Financial Times newspaper.As usual when we are evaluating an articles that have a lot of text and words, we really read carefully each line of it, one by one i observe the words just to be sure there is no mistake in typo and keep everything consistent. I was really into the articles worried that i missed out anything important that shouldn't be there..and as i read the article more often i started to get impress on how the writer wrote it. The topic is consider a very boring finance-related title advertised by one of the Malaysian government finance divisions. But somehow the writer has managed to make it interesting by putting what i call some 'wow' word and important keyfacts that make the whole thing become short and solid..i'm impress..thinking how cool by only using words she can explain everything and even make people like me who doesn't put any interest at all into this financial matters understand what she is talking about. Out of the blue when i walked back home something jump into my mind.."i wanna write & need to write something". So here i am, my second post for today (not to mentioned i edited some of my previous entry)..can feel a bit of the excitement.

Hmm.. i think i read the articles too many times and beyond my self conscious i get infected by the writer persona. Hehe..doesn't matter. anyway, time to get back to my baby..she is waiting in cold, at least half of my curiosity already turn into words now. Tomorrow lets see whether this 'unusual' feeling is still hanging around, don't want to make my baby waited me too long now..have to get back to my sweet plum..:)

Busyuuuuk..here i cooome..!!!

Finally a new label, I always wanted to have my own 'tips site'..its nice to share what you know especially if you deal with it everyday..you also want people to learn and experience it, provide shortcut for those who need it, save people time so they don't have to find the difficult way to learn and also plenty of others education wise reason.

Well as a start, i just post this illustrator shortcut..in the near future I probably create more categorized n will be more specific, photoshop, layout design, web design and tons more. Its also a good starting point for me to archive whatever that i found useful and interesting from the net..yeap my own personal library.

6 Month...

What can i say, i made it this far..i mean we made it. Sometimes its hard to believe what happen around us, something that u least expected will come out of nowhere. Same thing with us, never thought that she will be the one i could lean on, for now and maybe tomorrow, never came to my mind that we could be partner in caring, luv or even more. We put a lot of effort just to keep in track on what of most people said 'serious relationship', slowly stages by stages we learn and learn from our mistakes. The first chapter is a bit rough, but we're sattled that..and you know what..till now we are doing really good, we manage to put our mindset into more of 'distance is not an issue' than always whining and think as a barrier to us. I'm sure we will make it, right baby? :P

Just like in all of love stories movies, luv can bring a lot of mixture of feelings..today she whisper to me 'kangen kmu bgt, cepat dtg'..a lot of thing playing in my mind..guilt, luv, miss her, but as usual i only can ask her to be patience and convinced her that one day it will become reality. I'm sure we will stand really close..no more bad - connection using skype, no more hugging my pillow tightly when missing her (?), n the only thing that i see every morning is..her face..:) Still a long journey ahead, bur my hope is..this feeling will keep growing..growing in a sense that it will turn out to be more meaningful relationship, balance-ing each other and tried not to carry out too much with our emotion so we can still do our routine as normal as it is..'sehat', not blind by love..i'm sure you know what i mean. That all my wish for today.. let everybody witness our journey, and once we get there, i will tell the world that nothing is impossible (uhuy!). It just need a little bit of patience, effort, and of course trust.

Sabar ya, luv u sweet plum (dpt nama bru kmu)..:)
