Why are the confirmation and other links broken
into several lines in my test e-mails?
When you send yourself a test e-mail in either the
MailOut Manager or when creating an AutoResponder for a form
in the Form Build It! Library, you will receive two separate
e-mails, one HTML version and one text-only version.
In the text version, you may see long links, such as the
subscription confirmation links, broken up into several
lines.
The links are in fact sent on one line, but your e-mail
software may break them up, depending on its settings.
Please keep in mind that this issue occurs for the text
version only, which is sent to you separately from the HTML
version.
However, when your e-zine or AutoResponder is sent to
your
visitors, the HTML and the text-only versions are
combined in one e-mail. If your visitor's e-mail
software can read HTML, which is the case for the vast
majority of Internet users, they will see the HTML
version, not the
text one.
On a practical level, you do not need to be concerned
about this. Most of your subscribers will not be
affected.
The very small minority of users who cannot, or do not
wish
to, read HTML e-mails will likely set up their e-mail
software so that it won't break the links over several
lines. Otherwise they will be all too familiar with this
issue and know how to copy and paste the long links to their
browser.

How can I change the name of the sender of my
newsletter?
If you wish to change the name of the sender that your
subscribers see when they receive your newsletter, you can
do so by following these simple steps...
1) Go to...
http://login.sitesell.com/
...and log into Site Central.
2) Navigate to the "My Account/SBI! Renewal" section by
clicking the corresponding text link in the upper right hand
corner of your screen.
3) Scroll down to the "Contact Info" on this new page and
enter your preferred name/persona. Whatever you input in
the "First Name" and "Last Name" fields will be what's
used in your MailOut Manager e-zine.
If you would like a one-word persona (ex., Editor-in-Chief),
then you will need to put this in the "First Name" field.
The "Last Name" field will need to have at least one space
inserted as the "Last Name" field cannot remain blank.
4) To save your changes be sure to enter your password at
the bottom of the screen and to click the "Complete
Modifications" button.
If you are an active 5 Pillar Club affiliate, you will
also need to make some modifications in your 5 Pillar
Account...
1) Go to your 5 Pillar Modifications Home Page...
https://secure.sitesell.com/prot-bin/affiliatescripts/affiliateClubMoreInfo.pl?affiliate_modification_page
2) Scroll down to the "Affiliate Payment Info" section.
Please make sure that the checkmark for "Check here if you
want us to pay you personally" is NOT checked, and enter
your name or the name you wish to appear on your check in the
"Company Name" field.
3) To save your changes, be sure to enter your
password at the bottom of the screen and to click the "Complete
Modifications" button.
By following these steps, you ensure that your desired
name shows as the sender of your e-zine while your affiliate
checks are still made out to your proper name.

Where do I find the URL of my newsletter's Back Issues page?
When you first select the option to show a newsletter issue
on your Back Issues page, this page will be created for you
automatically. From then on, a link to your Back Issues
page will be included in the welcome e-mail that is sent to
new subscribers and at the bottom of every future issue.
For specific details, please see...
http://help.sitesell.com/mailout/backissuehelp.html
The URL of the Back Issues page is also automatically added
to your Link Library.
If you want to link to your Back Issues page,
follow these steps...
Step 1) Log into Site Central...
http://login.sitesell.com/
Step 2) Scroll down to the SiteBuilder section. In the
Edit/Delete part of the One Page at a Time category, select
the appropriate page from the drop-down menu. Then click on
the Edit This Page button.
Step 3) Identify where you want to insert a Text Link block.
For example, you may want to insert a Text Link block
between Text Block #3 and Text Block #4. From the drop-down
menu located between these two blocks, select Text Link.
Then click the Insert button.
Step 4) In the new block that appears, fill in the empty
fields (* indicates required information)...
* Text: This is the text that will be displayed as blue and
underlined on your Web page. Visitors will click this text
to follow the link.
Alignment: Choose whether you want the Link Text aligned to
the left, right, or centered. If you choose None, the
alignment will be the same as what is being used in the
preceding Text block.
* Choose Link: Select the link, Back Issues for NEWSLETTER
NAME, from the drop-down menu. The URL will be filled in
automatically.
MouseOver Text: This is the text that will be displayed in
the Status Bar at the bottom left of your browser window
when visitors point their mouse cursor to the link. If you
leave it blank, the URL of the link will be displayed
instead.
Open New Window: Select whether a link will open in the
same window or a new window will pop up when the link is
clicked. Which way is best? Use a new window for links to
other Web sites so you don't lose your visitors. For links
to other pages on your own site, do not open a new
window.
Step 5) Preview your page by clicking on the Preview
button near the end of the page. If you are satisfied,
click the Build It! button.
For additional help and details, please click the ?
button and the different heading links in the Text Link
block.
If you merely need to know the URL of your Back
Issues page, please follow these steps...
Step 1) Log into Site Central...
http://login.sitesell.com/
Step 2) Scroll down to the SiteBuilder section. In the
Libraries category, click the Link Library button. This
will display a list of all the links in your Link
Library.
Step 3) Find the link named "Back Issues for NEWSLETTER
NAME" in your Link Library. Right beside it you will find
the full URL of your Back Issues page.

Can I edit a back issue of my e-zine?
Archiving the back issues of your e-zine is an excellent way to
entice new subscribers. People can see first-hand the quality
of your content. And it's a convenient way for your
current subscribers (and you!) to check past information.
The MailOut Manager does not permit you to resend a
back issue. You can, however, edit an archived e-zine for
typos or other small fixes.
If you wish to access your back issues, please click on the
MailOut Manager button in the BusinessCenter at Site
Central. On the MailOut Manager home page, scroll down to
the All Lists section. Then click on the Get
History and Archives button.
Click on the date link of the particular back issue
you wish to edit. And then fix those typos that escaped you
the first time around!

How do I save an e-zine so I can edit it later?
After creating your e-zine, set the mailout for a future

Central. On the MailOut Manager home page, scroll down to
the All Lists section. Then click on the Get
History and Archives button.
Now click on the date of your saved e-zine in the queue.
Edit as needed. If you are still not sure your e-zine is
ready, leave the future date as is and click on the
Send It! button. Come back later for another try.
If you are OK with everything, change the send date and
click Send It!. Your e-zine will be mailed out on
your requested date.
Please note... You cannot send out an archived
issue again. But you can edit it for typos. Just click its date link
in the Get History and Archives section and do
whatever fixes you want to make. Simple and fast!

How can I import a mailing list?
You can manually copy-and-paste subscribers to your mailing
list but there is no automatic mass-import functionality in
the MailOut Manager.
SBI! follows a strict double opt-in subscription policy to
protect the integrity of all SBIers and to help you build a
credible mailing list. So each person that you manually add
to your list will receive an opt-in confirmation e-mail.
Ready to get started? Please log into Site Central via the
Site Build It! LOGIN button...
http://login.sitesell.com
Click on the MailOut Manager in the BusinessCenter of
Site Central. Then click on the Add subscribers to an
E-mail Address List button. This will bring you to a
form where you can copy-and-paste up to 500 e-mail addresses
per day. Please follow the instructions as outlined.
