3. How to create an email campaign using a completed design.

• Click the �Create Email� link
  
  
• In the next screen you will assign a name for your email. This field is for internal use only and will only be seen by you. It automatically defaults to today�s date. You can keep that or rename it. Click �Next� to continue.
  
  
• Click on the �Create My Own� button.
  
  
• The fields on the next page are filled in for you but we recommend that you edit the Subject Line by entering a message that conveys the reason you are sending the email. When you are done, click �Next� to continue.
  
  
• You are now on the email creation page. Click �Edit� and a window with an editor will appear. Click the �Center Justify� icon so that your uploaded design will be positioned correctly. Click the �Insert Image� icon. A window Will appear. Browse and upload your image from your computer. *Note about images � Your uploaded image must be in a .jpg format and sized at 600px wide. Once your image size is correct, choose a border size and color and then click on �Insert�. If you are adding a hyperlink, click in �Insert Hyperlink� (remember to set your link to open in a new window) and then click �Save� at the top of your editing box.
  
  
• Your email has been loaded. Click �Save� on the upper right of your email creation page to save your work before continuing.
  
  

• You will see a button to your left which says �Insert Building Block�. Click on the �Insert Building Block� button.
  
  
• Choose your block type. You can change your block color and border if you would like. The default is a white background with a thin black border. You will edit the text and/or image in the block after you insert it into your email. Once you insert it, click on �Close Block Window�. Every time you click on �Insert Building Block�, you will add another block to your email. If you add more than you need, you can always remove them.
  
  

• To edit your blocks, click on �Edit� and you will see the block inside the editor. Simply delete the sample text and replace it with your own. To change images, double-click on the �Upload Image Icon�. Add an image from your image library or browse and upload images from your computer. *Note about image size � If your block contains both text and an image, make sure the width of your image is set at 200px or less. Don�t worry about the height, it will adjust automatically. If your block contains an image only, make sure the width of your image is no larger than 600px. Once your image size is correct, click on �Insert� and then click �Save� at the top of your editing box.
