HTML newsletter template for 26

I have Mike Reed to thank for the opportunity to work on the newsletter template for 26.

It's always a pleasure working with well written copy. Nevertheless, for me, the highlight was probably the illustration for 'What not to write'. It was produced by the keystrokes 2 and 6 in the font 'Zapf Dingbats'. A very happy accident. Well, it made me smile.

I helped Mike set up his email newsletter quite some time ago. It was an early effort that came hot on the heels of two newsletters for myself: one for Indochine, and the other for FlySoup - real-time web traffic analysis that is currently being trialed for free on the 26 site.

Since working on my own newsletters I've put together templates for all sorts of businesses, including recruitment companies, market researchers, photographers, management consultants and film producers. This, however, is the first one I've produced which is designed to work in conjunction with a blog site.
