Email Usage
- Part Two: Taking advantage of HugClub WebStuff
Each
month in the HugClub we receive new WebStuff: stationery, ebanners
and etags. Each of these have a different purpose. Lets go
over each of these so that we can learn the best way to use
them.
etags
are a smaller image that you can use to insert into your email
as part of your signature. Or just to add a cute saying. Import
an etag into your creating program, such as PrintMaster and
use a text box to add your name to it. Then save it to a folder
you have set up for your email. (Remember to use your “Save
As” option so you always have the original!) Then just close
your email with a cute etag!

Stationery
comes in 2 different folders: Stationery and eml Stationery.
Eml is basically an email file. It is already set as an email
file. By double clicking it will open up into your default
email program. If you have several emails to send, just open
several of the eml files and they will be waiting for you on
your task bar. The files in the Stationery folder are jpg images.
You would need to insert them into your email on your own.
To
insert in Netscape you would go to Format/Page Properties and
then insert the image as a background. In Outlook you go to
Tools/Options/Compose to set it up as your own stationery.
In AOL open a new mail and click on the Camera on the tool
bar. Then choose Background Image. Each of these will place
the Stationery Image as a background allowing you to type over
it rather then around it.

We
have the same basic options with banners. We have both the
banner folder and the eml banner folder. You can set up the
banners in the same manner as I explained above. Or the easiest
way is to use the eml banner folder. To make it even easier
for me to use I created a folder on my desktop called Email.
Then I copied both the eml stationery and eml banner folders
into this new folder. Then when I need to use one I just go
into this Email folder and into my eml banner folder and choose
the one I want. It opens an email that is ready for me to type
in and send. It can't get easier then that!

Hopefully
this helps you utilize the options that you have with HugClub
WebStuff. Using your WebStuff makes your emails cute and fun.
Your friends will enjoy receiving your mail and will even ask
how they can liven up their email! Plus as a bonus, when they
Klick over from your ebanner to the HugClub and sign up, you
get paid. You are sending email anyway, why not get paid for
it.
Have
fun!
