Tomasz has added a lovely little touch to Toddle. Now when you send a newsletter to yourself a link will appear to open your web mail to view it. It’s a simple thing but anything that reduces clicks for a user is great.

Nobody likes Spam. So please don’t do it.
We consider Spam as the sending of any commercial email to someone who didn’t ask for it.
Our name is at the bottom of every email that you create. If you Spam it makes us look bad and we will have no choice but to suspend your account.
I realise that it is tempting to send an email to the great list you got from the web/friend/back of the couch but trust us the bad karma far outweighs any new business you think you might get.
Have a read here on how to build an email list the right way.

Campaign Monitor is a great simple to use email newsletter tool built to send your email campaign, track the results and manage your subscribers. Below is a simple guide on how to send your Toddle email newsletter with Campaign Monitor and track who opened it and what they clicked on.
- Once you are logged in click on “CREATE/SEND CAMPAIGN”.
- From here you are guided through a simple 4 step process.
- Select “HTML and plain text” when asked.
- First you will be asked for the HTML version of your email newsletter from Toddle. This is the all singing dancing version with images and colours. You will find this link in the “ADVANCED SENDING OPTIONS” box on toddle.us
- Some of your subscribers reading the email newsletter will not be able to view the all singing all dancing version. Some might use email programs that cannot display it or they might have chosen to turn that option off. For these cases we provide an alternative version of the newsletter in nicely formatted plain text. Click the Plain text link in Toddle and copy and paste the text into Campaign Monitor.
- Then its a simple matter of allowing Campaign Monitor guide you to sending the newsletter. If you are anything like us you will waste a few hours clicking the refresh button after sending your email campaign tracking who opened your newsletter and what articles they were interested in. It can be very addictive!!
- Thats it. Simple wasn’t it. Enjoy.
Read why it might be a good idea to send your email newsletter through a third party like Campaign Monitor instead of sending it yourself.
