Newsletter Gallery from C...

Ok, so I have been spending plenty of time lately working on newsletters and such for Noalmark Broadcasting. The bossman has decided to commit to sending out newsletters regularly, so I have had to really “study up” on the subject. I am really interested in what other people do with their newsletters and I think you might be, too. Campaign Monitor, the service I am using to send our newsletter, just released their newsletter. This month they are featuring a nice gallery of newsletters, so if you feel curious, then check it out.  Since we are on the subject, I would also say that if you are looking for a cool book that can help you with your newsletters,  check out sitepoint’s “Creating Stunning HTML Email That Just Works!”  Give Campaign Monitor a try if you are faced with an email newsletter project. Our experience with them has been top-notch. I built a newsletter template using their system and they looked it over for me and gave me a few pointers. Their crew is friendly and I even got to chat with Mathew Patterson, the author of sitepoint’s book I mentioned, and one of the people behind Campaign Monitor.

Old Dog Learns New Trick&...

So, today I sent my first e-newsletter for my current employer. I found the experience to be very frustratingly enlightening. I was asked to prepare the wonderful newsletter and it occurred to me that I have never done an html email newsletter before. I knew I needed some help so I turned to my awesome friends at sitepoint. It seems like whenever I need something sitepoint has just released a new book on it. I discovered through the book, and a bit of trial and error, that I would have to return my development skills to the stoneage to successfully layout a good html email. It’s sad to realize that so many email clients are still so far in the past. If I ever get into programming software instead of web pages I will totally build a better email client.

p.s. Not gonna be a software programmer anytime soon.

Whats Going ON!!!

So I have been unable to really work on my portfolio of late due to the fact that I have acquired a nice job that demands much of my time. Do not fret my friends I am working on actually getting my content ready to publish. My blog will begin following my life as a developer and allow me to wax eloquent on all things Cool and Official. Thanks for all the warm words of support and the spam.

Work in Progress

Hello and welcome to my portfolio/blog. If you are here you have come to soon. This is a work in progress and I will be working to finish this portfolio as I work towards my degree in web design and development at SAU Tech. If you want to hang around and watch my progress thats fine. I don’t see a need to hide my site from you as it is built. My friends and family like to watch as I build things so you can too.

Well it appears that my deal with Stars Entertainment LLC has fallen through. I still really like the design and i might shop the template around to some other local theaters. For now though its just another project that wasn’t meant to ever complete.
