Okay, you may recall how frustrated I was last week when I couldn't find a way to SEND out the RoseBouquet from inside my new DADAMail system. I finally resorted to just sending it from my own sending email, and listing the subscribers as Bcc (blind carbon copy) to protect your identities.
The next morning I decided to ignore my morning agenda, and go research this matter so I would find out what the answer really was. I spent the whole morning reading/researching all over the documentation pages that explain how to do anything and everything in DADAMail.
Then I came to some Tutorial videos. All at once my jaw dropped!
There was Justin taking a new user through the steps of sending out an email to their list. He was saying, "When you are sure it looks all ready to go, click this button [send test email]. Well, I had ignored that because I knew my email had already looked good in my text editor; I didn't think I needed to see it again.
But when Justin clicked that button - guess what! - another button appeared in it's place, and it was called [Send Mass Mailing]. So there it was! (I went to test it in my setup and sure enough that is where it was hiding.)
Now I feel rather foolish - yet relieved too. I had almost feared I'd have to look for another list service to use. I think I'll just stay here now. But I must find/make time to put my subscribe form all over my website. I'm just trying to decide what ebook I should offer to sweeten the deal. Maybe I should let them choose from a list of two or three, eh?
If you know of someone who might be interested. Send them to this page; where I have updated the original one to the new list service; Subscribe to Ezine Edition of RoseBouquet
First, I should ask, do you know what halva is?
It is a sweet paste-like candy. When I grew up in Hague, it was common knowledge that only at Christmas was this treat available in the general store, but my Dad considered it too expensive. He said it was made from camel's milk. Probaby a guess because the containers this halva came in had a small picture of a camel on it.
I've since learned more about it. (Google & I are Pals!) One Jewish woman wrote that it was a candy she grew up with in Israel, and I copied down her recipe, which called for ground up sesame seeds. (No milk of any kind).
Sunday night I came across some YouTube videos and found that you can make halva with ground up and roasted sunflower seeds, or even peanuts. Some of these recipes call for a small amount of sugar syrup to be beaten frothy and then stirred into the seed or nut paste.
Ah-ha! Then I can greatly reduce or even eliminate the sugar content if I make it myself.
One Christmas a few years ago, I had a hankering for halva, and I checked in at any and all grocery stores. I finally found that the Co-op store carried it, but only at Christmas.
It was already January this year when I found myself in a Co-op store, and decided to check. YES! They still had some Halva for sale. Expensive, but I treated myself to two packages.
I have an allergy to sugar that makes my eyelids itch. Before I was done I knew there was sugar in those treats! But now... if I should make them from scratch...!!
