DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CREATE A NEWSLETTER  It isn’t that I really want a news letter but a place for everyone to sign up and enter their e-mail, so I can send them important info.  I want my girls to have a heads up that there is a BIG give-a-way coming before everyone else gets the message.  I might also need to touch base if some GOOGLE issue has happened and no one know is coming over to sign up or I can contact you gals and let you know who’s accounts are set up without LINKS and I can’t get to you.  Right now having to go to each one individually is sucking up so much time.  I could be creating cool things to show you DIY projects rather than sitting at a computer.  CAN YOU HELP ME???
I felt like Bob the Builder there–Can you help me–YES we can!

<div style=”text-align: center;”>
We have 19 vendors participating and 30 gifts and I 
keep getting new e-mails about others that are interested.  
Every gift is amazing.

I keep getting e-mails like:

<div style=”font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;”>
”I have never been to a give-a-way where I liked every item.”
</div>
<div style=”font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;”>

</div>
<div style=”font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;”>
”Wow!  This is the BEST give-a-way I have ever seen.”
</div>
<div style=”font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;”>

</div>
 “I can’t pick just one favorite I love them all.”

so things kept getting better and better
</div>
<div style=”color: #4c1130; text-align: center;”>
<div style=”color: #cc0000;”>
UNTIL…(the BAD news)

</div>
very few people were signing up.  I tried all kinds of things.  
I felt horrid, I had never had such a low turnout for a give-a-way. I knew something was terribly wrong.Â Hundreds had come by and were still coming by-I was looking at my analyzer. I could see that some days we had close to a thousand people coming by and only a few had signed up.Â Â 

WHY???
<div style=”font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;”>
Then Sunday night, I started getting e-mails saying their posts from each day weren’t showing and my live feed hadn’t come through in 4 days.  I was trying to figure it all out.  Any of you who have kids and have ever gone on a long trip, know that this was not on my list of “TO DO” but all of a sudden it was on the TOP of the list. Everything I tried didn’t work— 
</div>
UGHH!!!

<div style=”font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;”>
To say I was on the verge of tears, was an understatement.

</div>
I think I finally have it resolved & you can leave comments again-watch closely & make sure that you get a message: “your comment will be posted once it has been moderated”.  If you don’t, e-mail me, but I think we should be OK. 
THE GOOD NEWS
<div style=”color: #741b47;”>
There is absolutely no reason to penalize all of you sweet gals for a GOOGLE issue–is there.  NO!,  so you can go back into each day and post a comment, even if you didn’t post one the first time.   
</div>
IT GETS BETTER 
<div style=”color: #741b47;”>
we are extending the Give-A-Way to

</div>
