Hello folks. I spent some time this weekend learning the Mail stationery architecture and it looks like we’re able to create matching stationery for iWeb themes. Send out your newsletters for your web site with an email theme that shares the same theme! Yippee! Not sure when I’ll get to these, but I’ll likely do a few here and there in between the heavy lifting of iWeb themes.
damn i thought i am going to be the first one to introduce the mail stationary templates. your faster than the speed of light… :-P
max
You think I’m fast? Check these guys out! I smell insider information!
Wow! This is going to be great!! Looking forward to seeing new mail stationary.
(And I am still patiently waiting for the Mailroom template ;-D )
Getting closer to that Kari ;-)
oh god! equinux is just around my corner. didnt know my friends were faster than i am! not good – not good!
I saw that from equinux, too. They may have knocked out those early in development, got a copy of the GM to make sure they still worked, then toss ‘em out there.
With even more themable parts, it makes me even MORE wish these bits and pieces could be used across several apps intermagically :)
111 new stationery… they’ve been working on those for a long while! I bought them – pretty cool and too much fun.
Go figure…!
Some things just feel a little disconnected at Apple sometimes, they get some funky stuff set up but don’t join the dots.
Take Pages/Keynote/iWeb and now Mail.
Pages has Business Templates called Elegant for Brochures, and business Cards, but no Keynote to Match or iWeb and now Mail.
So ideally want one install file that dumps a template into iWeb with a matching set of Pages / Keynote / iWeb and Mail parts.
So keep up the good work and connect some more dots!
Awesome!. David, I second that. I wish Apple had matching templates across the line. But, that’s what we have Suzanne for, right? :-)
BTW, I still can’t log in here using Firefox on the pc? Any idea why?
Yeah David I would expect to see the same thing. Before I left the corporate world, software development was what I did… well I wasn’t a developer, I was a director for a portion of a giant application and it was always easy to miss the dots. We had to rely on our product managers to stay on top of stuff like that but even they missed the obvious many times. It’s so easy to get lost in the details.
Gah… I really should just start hiring some contract people to create these themes across the applications. I’ve been trying to avoid that. I’ll consider that again.
Brian, not sure what the Firefox issue is. It works for me. Are you using the WordPress login page or the “My Account” login page? I don’t link to the WordPress login page in any obvious place because if you reset your password using WP, your store account will not get updated. However, if you used the store account to update your password, both will get updated. They’re linked, but only from the store side. It’s the best I could do with integration. Anyway, I know that’s not your issue, but the form you’re using might have something to do with it.
Yeah both forms work for me in Firefox Mac version:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071008 Firefox/2.0.0.8
I keep checking back on this post to see if there is any word of matching stationary being released. Any plans to still do this? I’d be willing to purchase the aerolite one.
Me too!!
