I packed a lot of new pages on the site into this most recent newsletter, please do check it out: Issue #55
I do want to apologize to both Susan M. Kelly and subscribers, because there was something off in the formatting of her James Cagney piece in the e-mailed version of the newsletter. It just did not cut & paste correctly and included image captions that made no sense and some very strange punctuation. Sorry about that, it didn’t view that way when I was putting the issue together and Topica does not have a preview button, so that one took me by surprise. I’ll do my best to be more careful next time.
Also, I keep forgetting to utilize tiny URL like everyone else online does. Oh, I do once in awhile, but there were a couple of pretty long links in the e-mailed version of Issue #55, I’m thinking of the ones to specific auction listings and an Amazon affiliate link that were just ridiculous. It didn’t effect the layout of my copy of the issue, but if it bugged you in any way I do apologize. Will make a note about tiny URL for next time, as apparently I cannot remember.
That said, there’s a lot of new content unveiled in this latest issue, so I hope for all of its faults that you do enjoy it. Thanks!
