I notice on the page you talk about weekly newsletters. Since you have a category for them. Are you aware you could create a Feedburner feed for this category and then add an email subscription from Feedburner? This would send out the newsletter as the entire post.

I found it to be a satisfying experience as it now feels more personal to our own class experience and at the same time just shares the info I really want people to know. It also helps people understand that comments are welcome. I will be happy to drop by Sarah's blog and set up some communication with her. Gail Hi Sue,
I have recently created a special page called About Mrs. Poulin and This Blog and it lives at the top of the list of Pages. I found it to be a satisfying experience as it now feels more personal to our own class experience and at the same time just shares the info I really want people to know. It also helps people understand that comments are welcome.

I will be happy to drop by Sarah’s blog and set up some communication with her.
Gail

For example if I want it to take up the width of the post I will make it 450 pixels wide (some themes need wider). If I want to wrap text then I normally make the images 200-250 pixels wide - I also make the horizontal and vertical space 5 so the text does not wrap against the image too closely.

Surprised to see it there (seems so long ago.) Well, in response to a recent post of yours, I'm taking a new look at my About page and have made several changes. I tried to add a pic of myself by inserting it and aligning it to the right but the picture was distorted-very wide. I have found this to be the case with another side aligned picture, of the light bulb. I tried to change the html code but it didn't take. Images added without text beside them come out fine. Any tips? Maybe it's my theme at work here. http://poulingail.edublogs.org/about-mrs-poulin-and-this-blog I posted a comment here about 5 months ago. Surprised to see it there (seems so long ago.)
