Use Your Editor Tools to be a Better Craftsperson

They say that a good craftsman knows his tools. Do you know all of yours in our Editor and use them in creative and surprising ways? Well-positioned links and options can make life easy for your subscribers.

Make sure you add a link to your headlines or even add personalization, [insert name here].

Lower down in the editor, most of these tools are pretty obvious such as bold, italics, alignment (L – C – R), colour selector, and size options.

And then there is the two list options:

• Bullet

and

1. Numbered

However, one click on the “Insert” button and you enter a new world of personalization and options. You can add any of these in the middle of text blocks to surprise someone or give them options outside of the usual placement.
