#25 Making Newsletters

All that comes to mind is, if I was still doing the Hawthorn Historical Society newsletter, it would be a useful tool. Letterpop.com, that is.

As it is, somebody show this site to Emma, stat!

Actually, I might be able to find a use or two for it... it also makes me think about those Christmas Card newsletters a lot of my American friends do, so if I was that kind of person, that would be cool too. But the problem I am having is I can't figure out if I can create my own background pictures or use my own pictures in the headers- making this another version of LiveJournal (except completely and utterly different, except for the fact I'm not savvy enough to code my own layout...)

To be continued...

#24- Back to it, Summer break is OVER!!!

Zamzar... file conversion... this, that, the other... *snaps back from daze*
Well, hasn't there been some problems with people using vista and creating word documents, then not being able to open them on our pcs? This rings a bell- perhaps this is a good way for us to combat this problem. If I recall rightly, these vista docs are '.docx'?
In any case, either I did something wrong, or when it says it takes a while, it wasn't kidding, since my converted file isn't yet in my inbox... *waits patiently*

Edit: File arrived, converted and shiny... and identical to the old file, except different. All good.
