Help setting up an html newsletter

I am looking to send out an html newsletter. The newsletter is a 600 (width) x 2400 (height) jpeg. with one or two links on it. To be honest I havn't done coding in a while and have never dealt with newsletters. What would be the best way to setting this up, in terms of what programs to use and coding?

Adam.

Don't use a jpeg...If you want your newsletter to be formatted with images and multimedia for example, use .html extension, otherwise, just send plain text. You didn't just take a screenshot of your webpage did you? That's a no-no.

Hey Brian, thanks for the feed back. This is a graphic design newsletter, so it is very image heavy. I didn't use a screenshot, but rather made the newsletter in Photoshop hoping I could just import it to show up as the recipient opened their email. However I'm finding it to be a little more complicated.

I'm basically at step one. For the html extension do I need a specific program to email? if so which would you recommend?

If your time is worth anything, you can use a service that does all that thinking for you. To name two: myemma.com (my personal favorite) and constantcontact. Both start you with a customizable template that meets all the crazy email limitations and rules. The side benefit is that you'll get all their great tracking tools, which is what really makes newsletter marketing worth doing.

It is good to see others that think with the same mind that i tend to.

I agree with many quotes above about using a better image format for the email newsletter.

One thing that i would personally advise, is to keep an eye out on the words that you place within it. Make sure that your email will not trigger to many or any email spam filters at all.

All you need to do, is fireup notepad (if your os is windows) or Text Editor if your on Linux and copy this into a blank notepad window:

HTML Code:
<html>
<head><title>Your Newsletter Title Goes Here</title></head
<body>
This is where you will add your actual newsletter content including images, sound and video if you want.
</body>
</html>
Save the above code as an html file ( example: yourfile.html ) and change the above code in between the <body> </body> tag so it looks the way you want

When you are ready to send the code via email, just open up your text editor, perhaps notepad? Then copy and paste the above code after you made the changes you want such as adding images, audio, video, etc into the body of your email message.

I hope that helps...
