Happy May Day - May 1, 2011

Editor's Note
Welcome and I hope everyone had a wonderful and peaceful Easter weekend.

Also, I would like to send out condolescences to all who were affected by the recent tornadoes devastation in the South. To any of you who may have lost family members or friends, my prayers go out to you all.
---------------------------------------------------------
Because there is so much to be considered when planning and producing a newsletter or ezine, I have decided to take a more focused approach of explanations, how-tos and why with the articles that are written and posted.

It is easy to find information and ideas on the internet to help you, but my goal is to help you individualize your newsletter or ezine by bringing you ideas and considerations that others may not have thought about.

It is easy to get overwhelmed and lost in the sea of what's right and appropriate for newsletters and ezines. However, with the saturation of the internet and everyone doing the same thing, following the same rules you wind up with newsletters and ezines that all look a like and resemble each other. The only way to differentiate yours from the others is to individualize and find your own unique self amid all the others.
