Reply from RickT4: Candace,
Thank you for your reply.
I used to enjoy building my monthly email for the Lower Columbia Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute. I received CC awards many times for my open and click-through rate. That changed about 3 months ago. I did not switch anything. I received a notice that you "upgraded" the editor. I liked the flexibility of the old editor.
To start, I used to have more templates to choose from. Then it was easy to change the format. I could go from one column to two or three. I could put borders around each. I could add photos with captions and borders. I could put in links to articles with it's own look and feel. I have an art background and liked how I could put together an email that I felt really good about. Now, it seems like the program fights me on everything I do and now I have to just put out a "plain vanilla" meeting notice. I suspect that my open rate and click-through rate will drop precipitously as my readers see that my notices are less interesting to look at.
I know you have tutorials and seminars where I can learn your new system, but I don't have time or interest in that. I spend a lot of time gathering material and photos to put in the email. I am saddened that I can't use this collateral material (at least in the way I used to). I have recommended Constant Contact in the past, but not now.
Thanks for your consideration,
Rick
