I’m seeing a delete option now in the actions menu in Gmail. Is this new? It always bugged me that the interface discouraged me from deleting anything. Interesting that they decided to go back to the model all other email clients use.

Email newsletters are still an important piece to Internet marketing as part of the “Permission Marketing” game. Along with blogs (and RSS feeds), they are a great way to update customers on the status of your site/product/service. What’s interesting is that for NetworthIQ we have almost 500 newsletter subscribers, but maybe only a couple dozen subscriptions to our feed. This highlights the importance of having another channel besides blogs to communicate with your customers.

I’ve pretty much wrapped up the move over to WordPress here from my old home. I think I’ll leave the Blogger posts over there for now, as WordPress’s blogger-import process is less than ideal. Isn’t there a Blogger API? Why do I need to publish all of the Blogger articles to my WordPress server and give up my blogpot address that gets some decent search engine traffic? Maybe there is a better import script out there?
