☂ Craig, what a great list. And a great idea! I'm sure this will be a HUGE hit! Well done...
Pamela
Excellent format! It's a nice cross section of interesting and useful information. It is hard to keep up with what's new these days, and harder still to figure out if any of the new stuff is going to be of any practical use. Thanks!
Wallace - thank you so much for the subscription, I'm glad you enjoyed this! :)
Pamela - you of all people have to check out that video! wow does it set a standard, but reachable for our team! (cool little umbrella icon in your comment, nifty! :)
Fred - it is hard to keep up, I hope to share the highlights that I find in my 'virtual travels' - thanks!
Craig
Love the format AND all the great ideas/tips/information. You always share such terrific information and this is well beyond the norm. Gonna check out that video.
Jeff
Checking out Google +1 -- I find your format to be very efficient, also intrigued by Empire Avenue.
Jeff - good morning! happy to see you - thanks for the kind words and DO check out that vid :)
Lorraine/Lorreta - thank you so much, empireavenue is intriguing... I just don't want to start as I have no time left to give!
Peggy - thanks, takes a little HTML know-how to do the columns/boxes - and yes on my classroom to-teach list!
oh Snap!
I forgot to put in the newsletter about Craig Rutman interview by Bob on RainRadio this week
you can follow that link to listen on your computer, or do like I do and download the mp3 to put on my phone so I can listen as podcast
Craig, great summary of your tech notes for the week. The formatting is also easy to read. Thanks. All ready a subscriber.
Sue is one of the top agents at Keller Williams...she does do a great job!
Charita - thank you my friend
Michael - glad you liked! always happy to see you visit my blog
Cindy - I am so glad I discovered her video work AND her website is a grand slam also - I'll be studying it all for some time to come for ideas to implement!
Craig,
Love the idea of the newsletter format!
First I heard of Empire Avenue. Good stuff!
Thank you.
Super format and great content. Thanks again, Craig, for showing the way to do things classy.
What a great overview and so expertly formatted--but then I would expect nothing less. Looks like I have some reading to do.
Craig - As usual, not only great information, but a great format presentation. I was "wowed" by it when I came to read your blog this morning. Now, I need to check out some of those links. Enjoy your weekend.
Craig...this is a great format. Very creative and thank you for sharing it.....
I already subscribe. I like you newsletter format. I must take more work to do. Bookmarked!
Good morning Craig,
You are so innovative! This is a fantastic format and really full of excellent information! Bookmarked!!
Craig, I like this newsletter format. Have you explained how to do this in AR? Saw the +1 this week and reading more about it. So much, so little time but it is so essential.
Michele - thanks for checking in! for EA that won't be the last time, you heard it here first :)
Glenn - glad you think its "classy" :)
Melissa - enjoy the links!
Debb - glad to wow, I like the new format too
Richie - you are very welcome, glad to see you
Robert - thank you for being a subscriber, glad I keep up my end of the bargain! :)
Dorie - thank you my friend from Austin TX
Barb - I have not done my HTML lesson series YET, coming... stay tuned - for the +1 button on AR we'll have to get the devs involved in our wishlist because I'm pretty sure the script support is beyond our control, maybe we can get that and a tweet button in addition to our FB like button that we have already :) (which BTW, I think everybody forgets there is a FB like button, would love to see more hits on that one!)
Craig - Very cool newsletter. I love the link to Apple's newly planned headquarters. What an interesting building, and so keeping within Apple's style, brand and philosophy. Except, I think you'd need roller skates to get from one end of the circle to the other...
Craig, Excellent info, excellent format. And as for Empire Avenue...between AR, Facebook and Twitter, I'm quite happy with the level of social media involvement in our lives. I'm not looking to add to an already time scarce environment with another demand on our time.
Thanks so much for this awesome post/newsletter. I love the new format. Not a day goes by that I don't learn from Active Rain and all the rainers.
I have suscribed and have bookmarked this to make sure i get all the info out of it that I can.
Thanks again.
Love the layout of your page here and google +1 seems like a cool way to guide people to good pages. I had a little trouble fixing my ie9 problems but would love to get that fixed. I still love the way ie is layed out. I use Google Chrome for my AR stuff these days. Thanks Craig
Nice format, Craig. Yes, I enjoyed the Charita and Alan videos ... hysterical!
Sally - it is different isn't it - well leave that up to Steve Jobs to think outside the box - I do like the big circular courtyard in the middle, how cool is that?
BLiz - I've been tempted to sign in to EA a couple of times to check it out, but I know my time constraints too right now have no leeway! I'm interested in others' viewpoints though on the topic
Virginia - so glad you are constantly learning, glad I can have a part in that, thanks so much for your recent subscription
Jeremy - G+1 has potential, just starting off with it so we will see if it flies or goes the way of google wave (anybody remember that, great idea, didn't fly) - IE9 is a modern implementation of browser that we developers would love to see implemented so we can start using the modern HTML5 CSS3 standards - but we have to get users to use it! (actually use FF or Chrome or Safari instead is still my recommendation, but if you must use IE, 9 is finally up to par)
Cynthia - wasn't that a fun diversion, all work and no play makes ... :)
Craig - Hi and thanks for the mention. I'm honored. Just to let everybody know this fix seemed to have worked on all my computers so..... yippee. Thanks again
What a great newsletter and recap for the week. Hopefully, it' a new series.
I did notice google's +1 on youtube and gave that to one of my videos. I guess I should do it for the others, too.
Not many QR Code usages get more clever than mine. Or should I say Billy's?
Great info.....it is so important for us all to keep up on the latest technology!
Lots of helpful links, highlights to make being on the AR campus worthwhile. Thanks for the extra effort that all on the platform appreciate. You are not a hit and run blogger.
Great newsletter, Craig. I very much appreciate your efforts providing info to help us keep up technologically.
Fantastic idea using the newsletter format. It is eye catching, concise, and easy to use. You are on the top of my list when I have tech questions. Thanks Craig!
Craig what a great post and I love the format. Thank you for clarifying tags, I had been using them rather ineffectively. I was already a subscriber to your blog but now I subscribed by email too. I want to keep them as references.
Hey Craig - I love your new format and can't wait to read the next one. Thanks for pointing out the video banter that went on between Alan and Charita, that was hilarious. You are right about Sue Adler, she is good.
What took you so long to put out a newsletter? LOL. The format is great, thanks for continuing to share your knowledge with us.
Hi Craig, as usual nice job! Only thing was the last line on some of the longer ones slipped under the square and were barely visible. Don't know if this was my monitor or not. Thanks.
Craig, with everything you do, you should have less than zero hours left over for anything! You're amazing, buddy!
Thanks for the summary. I watched the Google wallet presentation and was blown away with what they are working on. Soon we will be so high tech that we don't even have to carry any money to make purchases.
Craig, I am a big fan of the new format!!! It's great and easy on the eyes!
Thanks,
Betsy
Craig, Great format!! As always, you have given me some new homework. Thank you! LOL! Thanks for the honorable mention also!
Craig - I love the newsletter....great idea, looks terrific and is easy to read. Congrats on another great feature!!!!
Craig,
More great information as usual. Thanks for sharing all this useful information with us.
Craig:
You are so talented. I need to see issue 1. Where can I see it. Oh, right I remember, I subscribe to your blogs. I guess I just need to look for it. Very nice Newsletter. If I change the name and put my picture on your newsletter, do you think anyone would mind? Besides you, of course. Just kidding. Good job as usual.
Hi Craig, You're the tech guru. Thank you so much for the update and information update.

Craig- just when I think what a great asset you are to ActiveRain.... you go and prove me right!!! I love the layout and I love being able to keep abreast of what's going on in the tech world.
Craig, excellent newsletter. Your posts are just getting better and better. I keep bookmarking each one, hoping one day I'll have time to absorb all information you share with us.
Well yet again thanks for the information. I do look forward to your posts, they are very good. and helpful.
Patricia Aulson/ Seacoast NH & ME
Excellent! I'll be doing more video of Eltingville. Trainer is charged and ready. Call me a day before you have vacation. Bring The whole family. We will have a great time.
great job with this newsletter I got Google plus 1 uploaded on my website and am working on my June QR challenge!
Craig,
Thanks for the information. Lots of good stuff. I look forward to reading more.
Robert Savage
Nice clean layout on this, and I see you used CSS instead of HTML <table> tags. I need to come up with a few CSS layouts for my different reports.
Craig, great and useful information! I loved how you layed everything out!

John - presentation is important, it is worth investing a little time beyond minimums :)
Jose - thank you
Larry/Sheila - by the discussions we all have on AR, techie stuff at least you are way ahead of 'everyone else' - don't you love the rain? :)
MOST impressive! I have sent links to friends and am going to reblog this, there is just so much good info here! Thanks! Don't know how you make time to do this but we are all grateful!
Craig, the only thing I don't love about the newsletter is that every time I read one of your posts my todo list gets bigger and a newsletter just adds multiple things to the list but despite that, I'm loving it. Thanks for all that you share with us regularly. Where do you find the time????
Craig, Sue has produced a great community video. I am about to venture in that direction. I'll be posting to Vbloggers soon.
Craig, everyone agrees this is a wonderfully done format ...Sue Adler does a great video..the best i've seen...
Hi Craig,
Haven't noticed the +1 buttons yet, and will keep a heads up. Didn't have a chance to read all the comments above, but if you find the time to do a tutorial about how to create the clean looking table in your post above, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Craig, your fix on the height was right on. I can see clearly now...wait, is that the name of a song?...
Your posts always have sooooo much info in them! Thanks for the new format...makes it so easy to read.
I love your new format! Easy to find the topic that interests me...'course I want to read all of it! I absolutely LOVE Sue Adler's youtube video. Wow! I am going to have to get started on that myself! Thank you for sharing that.
Craig, You've forgotten more about technology than I know. I really learn at least two major bits of info from your posts each time I check in. Thanks.
Ooooh fun! I'm getting revved up for the QR challenge... still thinking about the best way to go about it. Interesting to see how people will embrace Google +1 - definitely something to watch! Great post, Craig!!
Craig ~ Catch up time, so behind in AR, reading, commenting, blogging, lurking....love,love,love this series you provide..bookmarked!!Thanks a million!!
Craig - I just don't understand Empire Avenue. It seem like it's the new farmville.
Great post and I WILL SUBscribe because I do not want to miss this concise and useful information that helps ME be more productive! Thank you!
