Hi all,

We have been working hard lately to setup an interesting email newsletter sent out weekly to wrap up the good stuff of the last week of action at PA (www.progarchives.com) .

Key details:
  • The mailing will be sent every Monday 14:00
  • Part of the content is exclusive to the FEED, not accessible via the web page for now.
  • All 18,500+ members will receive it automatically the first time and , one can unsubscribe easily in 2 step.
  • We have created a thread to discuss suggestions and improvement http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48003&PID=2819826
  • The first launch is set to start next monday April 28, 2008
Thanks again for making progarchives.com the #1 Prog Website on the planet ;-)

Prog On

Max

If anyone is updating their e-mail address, remember to check the option not to show it publically is selected (unless you actually want it to be visible).
 
By the way, in case anyone is concerned, the e-mail addresses are no longer used to identify reviewers, so it is OK to change them.

I just received it. I'm almost speechless, it's very complete and very well made. There is still room for improvement, especially regarding presentation, but for now it is sublime. Congratulations! Clap

Thanks for the commen Kotro, can you be more specific about your suggestion regarding presentation ?

I know some EMAIL software will "break" the presentation off , but with Yahoo! and GMAIL the look is simple but it's ok this way for now. Focus is on content for the coming months.

I have not been able to test it on all email software , so if some can send screenshots here or to my email [email protected] for me to check irregularities and fix them , that would be fine.

Thanks

Max
