Do you use email in your business? The CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

Despite its name, the CAN-SPAM Act doesn’t apply just to bulk email. It covers all commercial messages, which the law defines as “any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service,” including email that promotes content on commercial websites. The law makes no exception for business-to-business email. That means all email – for example, a message to former customers announcing a new product line – must comply with the law.

Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $16,000, so non-compliance can be costly. But following the law isn’t complicated. Here’s a rundown of CAN-SPAM’s main requirements:

1. Don’t use false or misleading header information. Your “From,” “To,” “Reply-To,” and routing information – including the originating domain name and email address – must be accurate and identify the person or business who initiated the message.
2. Don’t use deceptive subject lines. The subject line must accurately reflect the content of the message.
3. Identify the message as an ad. The law gives you a lot of leeway in how to do this, but you must disclose clearly and conspicuously that your message is an advertisement.
4. Tell recipients where you’re located. Your message must include your valid physical postal address. This can be your current street address, a post office box you’ve registered with the U.S. Postal Service, or a private mailbox you’ve registered with a commercial mail receiving agency established under Postal Service regulations.
5. Tell recipients how to opt out of receiving future email from you. Your message must include a clear and conspicuous explanation of how the recipient can opt out of getting email from you in the future. Craft the notice in a way that’s easy for an ordinary person to recognize, read, and understand. Creative use of type size, color, and location can improve clarity. Give a return email address or another easy Internet-based way to allow people to communicate their choice to you. You may create a menu to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to stop all commercial messages from you. Make sure your spam filter doesn’t block these opt-out requests.
6. Honor opt-out requests promptly. Any opt-out mechanism you offer must be able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days after you send your message. You must honor a recipient’s opt-out request within 10 business days. You can’t charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifying information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an opt-out request. Once people have told you they don’t want to receive more messages from you, you can’t sell or transfer their email addresses, even in the form of a mailing list. The only exception is that you may transfer the addresses to a company you’ve hired to help you comply with the CAN-SPAM Act.
7. Monitor what others are doing on your behalf. The law makes clear that even if you hire another company to handle your email marketing, you can’t contract away your legal responsibility to comply with the law. Both the company whose product is promoted in the message and the company that actually sends the message may be held legally responsible.

Sending messages to an e-mail list is a powerful marketing tool. However, there are times when we would like to get a better response from what we send out. If you are serious about doing better, here are five various tips to help improve your campaign results.

	1. Put opt-in forms everywhere. The more you have out there, the more chances people will have to fill them out. And remember to tell your visitors to fill in the form – be polite and direct – but don’t make them guess what they’re supposed to do.
	2. Give your subscribers a hint of what’s to come in the next message. You don’t want to give it all away, but anything you can do to increase their anticipation of your next e-mail will go a long way toward increasing your open rates.
	3. Advance notice of an upcoming message. This is a bit different than the previous tip in that the entire message is sent for the sole purpose of telling your readers about what’s coming – use these messages to let them know about time-sensitive offers coming up, so they don’t lose out Be sure to include the time zone when you send out something with a deadline to prevent confusion for time-sensitive offerings.
	4. Create messages people will want to share with their friends. Not all e-mails must be designed to remain exclusive to your list. Encourage them to share from time to time. When doing this, keep potential readers in mind; and be sure to give them a reason to follow through on your call to action.
	5. Automate as much of your e-mail marketing as possible. Autoresponders are a must-have tool for simplifying the campaigns you send out. You can pre-load as many messages as you like, and set when they will be delivered. At the very least, you should have a welcome message that is sent immediately after opt-in is confirmed.

E-mail marketing is here to stay, and smart business owners will educate themselves on how to make the most of it. You’ve read this far, so I am going to assume that you are serious about doing better. Take the next step and start using the tips above to improve your campaigns.

Partially supported in Gecko 1.8, Safari 3, Opera 9.5, IE.

In all the following test cases the green box has fixed dimensions (80px × 80px, with padding 9px, border 10px.) The blue bar (width 119px, border 1px) should overflow at the right, and the red one (height 119px, border 1px) at the bottom. When one of the two properties is ‘auto’ there are four cases: two with only one overflowing bar at a time, one with both overflowing, one with no overflow (the third case should behave as with ‘scroll’ instead of ‘auto’).

According to the spec … some combinations with ‘visible’ are not possible: if one is specified as ‘visible’ and the other is ‘scroll’ or ‘auto’, then ‘visible’ is set to ‘auto’ ….

All browsers seem to further reduce the number of combinations giving different results:

• In Gecko, Safari, Opera, ‘visible’ becomes ‘auto’ also when combined with ‘hidden’ (in other words: ‘visible’ becomes ‘auto’ when combined with anything else different from ‘visible’). Gecko 1.8, Safari 3, Opera 9.5 are pretty consistent among them.
• In IE7, IE8 ‘visible’ becomes ‘hidden’ when combined with ‘hidden’.
• IE6 seems to render all combinations differently, but of course here ‘visible’ means ‘expand’ the box (in the specified direction) to enclose the content.

Go Daddy has added yet another spokesmodel to its small army of Go Daddy Girls.

Ella Koon is a Hong Kong-based singer/actress/model described by Go Daddy CEO Bob Parsons thus: “She’s smart, she’s talented and she knows how to leverage the Internet.”

Those are the three most important qualities in any woman, as I’m sure you’ll agree.

Koon’s primary responsibilities will be promoting the registrar’s brand specifically to the Asian market by looking pretty and wearing a tight T-shirt.

As an addendum to my earlier post, I’ve just noticed that a) Skype 4.0 Beta 2 runs pretty stable on Windows Vista 64 and b) has built-in support for managing multiple Skype accounts! With the help of this feature, you could for example set up a private account and a business account and use both of them at the same time, using the same Windows user account. The setup is straightforward:

1) Install Skype 4.0 Beta 2

2) Create a shortcut to Skype.exe and place it on the quick launch bar. Rename the shortcut to “Skype Private Account”, for example. Start Skype using this shortcut and setup your first account (in this case, your private account).

3) Create another shortcut to Skype.exe (add it to the quick launch bar, too) and name it “Skype Business Account”. Open the “Properties” dialog of this shortcut by right-clicking on it. In the “Target” text field of the properties dialog box, append ” /secondary” (without double quotes) to the Skype.exe path that is already there. For example, in my case, the “Target” text field contains:

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe” /secondary

Rename this shortcut to “Skype Business Account” (right-click->rename). Having done this, start Skype using this shortcut. Skype will then prompt you to enter the credentials of another Skype account of yours (in this example, of your business account).

You can also choose different icons for the two shortcuts. Further, I’d assume the /secondary feature isn’t limited to managing two Skype accounts, though I haven’t tested it with more than two accounts. The main advantage of this “/secondary” feature is that you don’t need to have a separate Windows user account for each of your Skype accounts. Note however that, even with this solution, a new instance of Skype will be created for each of your Skype accounts – every instance consuming about 40 MB of RAM.

I think that’s a very useful feature and I like it a lot.
