Step-By-Step Guide for Adding Space Around Images/Graphics in MagnetMail
Labels: Email Marketing
Share
Sometimes it's a little tricky to add space around images/graphics placed in emails in MagnetMail. Here's a guide to how it's done.
  1. IMPORTANT: make sure you are using Editor v.2. If it currently says "Switch Editor to v.2" you must click it so that it now reads  "Switch Editor to v.1" as in the image below.
  2. You cannot set spacing when you place an image in MagnetMail. You must first place the image, then select it using your mouse and, with the image selected, click the image icon in your toolbar. This pops up a new window for adjusting the image.
  3. Set the vspace and hspace (this is vertical space and horizontal space respectively in HTML). I've set both to 20 in this case as discussed in the post on Tips for Styling Email Content.

That's it!  Your emails will look much better without the text bumping right up against your images and graphics. Leave a comment with any suggestions or questions you have about sprucing up your emails or Tweet me @frostmiller.
