ID Email Design
I finished the proposal for the new Incidencia Democratica email layout. I put an image of the email we currently send out, along with my suggested redesign, in the Projects section of the photo page. Please send me your critiques and suggestions. If two heads are better than one, think of what all of our heads thinking together can do! (Oooh, I just got a chill.)

Rob, it looks good, but the letters are all mixed up so I can't read them.. Do you think it's my browser ? ;)
By the way, I've been trying to find out exactly what "Elcanche" means. I found out that Lacanche is a company that makes "gourmet range cookers." So is Elcanche just the masculine version. Perhaps charcoal barbeque grills? If so, I would like to get a catalog sent. Thanks, Dave
Just so you know, el canche means "man of chocolate." (hence the photo of the day) It is a vernacular term from Guatemala coined for the first man to introduce the cocoa bean to the masses. It was a term of respect, honor and privilege. The first El Canche was coronated and when he died, his body was coated in chocolate dust which surprisingly ended up being a great preservative. His body is on display at Tikal.
However, if I am wrong about this, I too, would like to order one of those barbeque grills!
Hijole, Susan, you've been hanging around Rob so long that you are beginning to sound a lot like him in your writing.
Later for the grills, I am with Susan on this one! Have you ever seen Rob cooking with a barbeque? Or cook at all? Now, with Chocolate - he is a pro. Oh, maybe with email, homepages, and pics too! love ya, Vic
Hi Rog! Thanks for the compliment! When are you guys heading to the East Coast? We'd love to see you!
Well, I've had my laugh for the day...to all the e-mail authors, thank you!
