PURPOSE
The Fixing Your Feet E-zine is published twice a month to inform and educate athletes and non-athletes about proper foot care skills and techniques, provide tips on foot care, review foot care products, and highlight problems people have with their feet.
THE NEW FORMAT
This is an exciting change. After fours years of sending out a text ezine every month, I am changing the format. At issue was how many readers actually received each issue. In today’s world of Spam, many readers have Spam blocking software on their computers. However hard I try to eliminate the risky words, there are still words left that might send it to your Spam file.
So the decision was made to covert the text ezine to a blog based newsletter. The immediate benefits are many. First, there will be two issues each month. I will divide the material in half. The 1st of the month issues will include the Editorial, Tips and Hint, and Non-feet Good Stuff. The mid-month issue will include the Feature Article, Featured Foot Care Products, the Bad Feet Contest, and Reader Feedback. Over time, it will hopefully evolve into a fixed format. Secondly, each issue can contain photos and images, color and style that were impossible in the text based ezine. And third, it can contain sidebars of related stuff: a calendar that shows all posts, the 10 most recent posts, photos, etc.
You’ll still get an email each time I post a new newsletter. It will contain a link to open the new issue. Click on the link and you will be taken to the FixingYourFeet Blog webpage. It will be simple and uncomplicated. No download, no PDF file, and no more having to read only boring text. And, yes, it will contain the mandatory links to subscribe, unsubscribe, privacy, etc.
You’d be smart to add this website to your favorites list. That makes it easy to check it out anytime.
