NEW Content Quick Search!

photo REW Steven

As part of the latest REW Promo if you order $1000 USD or more you also get the new Content Quick Search. It requires CMS 2.5 and Standard REW Promotional Rules Apply.

Basically this allows you to search through all your pages to find that one you need to edit. This is especially handy when you have hundreds and hundreds of pages and only know the filename of the page.

It will search the Page Title, Filename/Alias, and Anchor Text of all your CMS page. If only 1 result is returned then you are taken straight to that page to edit.

Here is a screenshot of it in action!

Windows Live Messenger FAIL

photo REW Steven

Live Messenger has now forced everyone to upgrade to the most recent version. A couple people in our office needed to do the update. One of them had a major issue after the upgrade and could not sign in. No error message, just a redirection back to the sign in screen.

After much pain I found this blog on Windows Live Messenger Sign in Fails but no Error Message and it fixed my issue.

Basically he says to change the Compatibility mode settings for the sign in exe to Windows 95. This should not be the fix. A modern version of Messenger should not require Windows 95 mode.

Anyway I just wanted to gripe and give this excellend guy some links.

Stay Out Of The Junk Folder

photo REW Steven

If you have a large lead database there are a few things to remember to help keep you (and us) off the Spam Blacklists when sending email to your whole list. These things will improve the number of your emails that make it to peoples inboxes.

  • Keep your list clean. If someone replys to your mail asking to be removed, unsubscribe them (under Edit in the lead manager). If an email bounces, unsubscribe or delete them. In 2.5 all emails now contain an Unsubscribe link which is good to keep those that don't want mail from you to from getting more mail.
    Mail servers keep track of the number of bounces you have and if that number gets too high they may block you IP. Only spammers have dirty lists.
  • Don't email them all at once. Find a way to…
