Q: I have designed a promotion that I’d like to send to my email list. It’s going to be a limited time offer. How do I insert a countdown timer into my emails?
Personally, I think countdown timers as a marketing tool should sit in the “great in small doses” bucket. Use it too often and reader fatigue / weariness will inevitably start to creep in.
That said, adding a dynamic countdown timer to a campaign email with a real deadline is a great way nudge your audience to act promptly.

Q: Why does the text that I copy-paste into MailChimp cause my formatting to go haywire? How do I fix it?
When you do a straight copy-paste from an application like Microsoft Word into MailChimp (MC), you’re also bringing across HTML code that you don’t see. This messes with your formatting and can get quite frustrating to fix in MailChimp. It’s almost always easier to strip your text of all formatting, and then to format your email directly in the MailChimp environment itself.

Q: I don’t want to miss any updates made to a Trello card. How do I ensure that I get updates even when I’m not tagged?
If you want to receive updates whenever team members make changes to specific cards, you want to use the “watch” function. When you watch a card, you are notified each time there’s a new comment on the card or when someone moves or archives it. You’ll also receive notifications about card due dates and such – regardless of whether you’re tagged or not.

It’s easy to accumulate unused themes in your WordPress environment. Each year, the WordPress team releases a new default theme that is named after the year and this gets added automatically when you update WordPress. And, how many of you have installed themes to check them out and have a play, only to realise they didn’t meet your needs at the time? I know I have! Here’s the thing: themes can take up anywhere between 1MB and 10MB of disk space, so having a whole heap of inactive …
