Hey so I am trying to get my email to look like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrrd3arf5m3obkz/Email%20template%20for%20blogs%20(4).jpg?dl=0

Here you can see how the background is gray. But there is white around it so it is not gray all the way. Also bonus points if you can help me put curved edges around like the diagram.

Here is my code: https://www.dropbox.com/s/defltuox6mbv5nf/Finaltemplate.txt?dl=0
And this is what it looks like so far:

Wherever did you get that code from?

25

Oh sorry I didnt realize that this ticket was merged here. @Gandalf do you know how to start here.

I got the code from a website for templates. It was close to what I wanted but i realized that I just was missing the padding. Do you know how to do this?

Thanks

I’m afraid not. That looks truly awful code. It looks like it started life as a MS Word document and you would probably need the original document to edit it.

You could try looking for the table cell (between <td> and </td>) that contains the element you want padding on and change the cell-spacing element, although a simpler template like the one you originally showed would be a better place to start.

I fear my braincell would finally disappear for good if I look too closely at that code.

haha ok. I will just stick with the one you suggested. Thanks for the attention to the responses. I do appreciate it.

i learned css, and html via w3schools.org, they have a detailed tutorial on all web programming languages.

if you still cant fix it, you can go ahead and build it on wordpress, which is a better platform and has great support network.

I wasn’t aware that Wordpress had a facility for creating HTML email. Could you give more information about this?
