i'm wanting to create an html newsletter template to be emailed out, however, i'm unsure of standard dimensions for it. would a 800w be good? or should i go w/ something smaller?

for webpages my standard is usually 970w, but wasn't sure what would be best practice for html newsletter.

thanks

Bdizzle,

I would recommend that you read this link

You will see that Newsletters can have different widths, There seems to be no major standard, What is recommended is that the width will be about 95% of the page width, as different browsers use the extra margins differently. You will also find that email readers have problems when reading css so applying the guide lines in this tutorial might help you save some time and trouble-shooting down the road.

Be happy, Julian
