Today we’re highlighting an awesome looking monthly newsletter for Baltimore based web and brand development firm The Berndt Group.

This a classic example of simple and elegant email newsletter design with a two column layout splitting the main article content from recent highlights at the firm. The colors, subtle shading and clean layout all combine beautifully.

A great example of how you can use an email newsletter to keep your clients in the loop about interesting technologies, what’s been happening at your end and keep your offering fresh in their minds.

When you import your content into Campaign Monitor, we automatically download all your images and convert all your links so they can be tracked through the reports. Works well. Everyones happy.

But, what if on the odd chance you didn't want us to do that? What if you've got a dynamically created image that you want to be different for each recipient (perhaps using data you pass in through a custom field).

Well we've just added a couple of simple attributes you can add to your code that let us know to leave certain bits alone. What do they look like? All you need to do is add either the cm_dontimportimage or cm_dontconvertlink attribute to your image or link tags. As a quick example, here's the image tag in action:

Turning off image importing

Turning off link tracking

Although we don't do any conversion when we detect these values, we do remove the cm_dontimportimage and cm_dontconvertlink values when we actually send your campaign.
