This article is a follow-up to a post last week on this very topic… read more | digg story In response to the post on the CampaignMonitor Blog, I had this…

  • Pandora’s Box

    In the beginning there was Text, and it was good. I’m still in awe about how much residual traffic I’ve gotten as a result of the conversation going on about how Microsoft Breaks HTML Email Rendering in Outlook 2007.

  • Open Letter to Microsoft

    Dear Microsoft, Last year, you introduced Windows Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) upon the world. Designers everywhere celebrated the fact that you had finally stepped up to the standards plate.

  • Painting

    Man, I had a busy night last night. PowerServe will be moving into a new building in a week and a half, and we’ve been doing some painting before we move all our stuff in. I was at our new office last night until 9:30pm putting the finishing touches on the room. We opted to…
