UK web design print monthly .net magazine (not the framework) has just published their April edition, which contains an opinion piece I wrote for them titled 'Better HTML emails'. In the piece I explain some of the background to the Email Standards Project, and how designers should be taking note and getting involved.

It's nothing new for readers of this blog, but we are trying to reach out to a wider audience and every step helps. If you are in the USA (and also other countries), .net magazine is published as Practical Web Design, so check it out. It might be something useful to leave on your designer colleagues' desk at work.

We’ve collected over 50 photos of people showing just how Gmail makes them feel, when they try do create HTML emails, but we think there are some more great grimaces out there! The deadline is fast approaching, so get your grimaces in by Friday, March 14th and we can start working on the video.

It’s easy to add your own: Join the Flickr group, and add your photo to the pool. There are some spectacular grimaces in their already, but there’s room for more.

This is is the fastest and easiest way you’ll ever get to support the Email Standards Project, so we look forward to seeing your gurning face! Thanks to everyone who has already entered, your support is very much appreciated.

Remember: We’ll take entries up till the end of Friday, March 14th.
