You have now realised they are there and can work on communicating with them on a regular basis. Good luck!

I've only ever written two, one in October, one in November. I never bothered since because I thought nobody read them. I've been re-branding my site (well.. I've actually been re-branding MYSELF -- new found professional distance etc) and I happened to look at my newsletter list to find I have 311 subscribers. 311 subscribers who I have been ignoring for a good 3 months now. How many of those people have forgotten about my site and have never been reminded of its existance? I just did a newsletter to the subscribers I never knew I had, and I think I did it properly. I'm not very good at article writing. I could kick myself right now, all those potential visitors I've lost out on!

In this article I wasn't talking about good newsletter design, hence the reason I omitted any graphical example of a 'good' newsletter. I will however, take your idea for a future article as I think it would be helpful to those getting started with email marketing. Regarding your comment about the lack of a 'message sent' confirmation - normally your comment would appear immediately but for some reason yours were getting stuck in our spam filter. This should now be resolved. Thanks for your comments Javier. In this article I wasn’t talking about good newsletter design, hence the reason I omitted any graphical example of a ‘good’ newsletter.

We -users- don't know if you received the message or not, and you know the implications of that. Hope you're receiving these words and this kind of feedback is useful For what I see your comment system doesn’t have a “message sent” confirmation.

I've seen it somewhere else and sure it helped. Personally I wouldn't miss it, but I think newbies would be interested in seeing it. (I guess some people are just toying around with community building ideas and they would need hand-leading for some time) So there are my 2 cents. I read a few of your posts and thought that it wouldn't be fair to leave without leaving you a comment. Your blog is interesting, and even if we learn only one little thing, it is worth the read. Oh, the design is also nice an modern, kudos for that. This background colour looks great, however, beware of the psychological associations of people with dark colours... Keep up te good work!
