I am a Des Moines Social Media Examiner writer on Examiner.com. Recently, I wrote about how to use Twitter to find savings in the Des Moines area, how to connect with other social media users via the Social Media Club Des Moines group, and a local SXSW discussion panel.

I’d love to hear what kinds of articles you would like to see. Please drop me a line in the comment section on this site, or my Examiner page. Thanks!

The iPad

Okay, this is a bit off topic, but what the heck? I would like to hear from iPad owners. Did you stand in line the night before waiting for your iPad? What do you like/dislike about it? Tell me everything! I have not been to the store to play with one yet. I’m dying to try it out.

Feedback please!!

Thanks,

Kim

Website Email Links

Hello All,

I had an issue come up with a client today that made me wonder how many folks don’t understand how an email link works.

How many of you out there know that when you click on an email link, your browser needs to know which email client you have, or your email will go nowhere? The exception to this would be if you are using an online service such as MSN or AOL where this has already been set up for you.

They had someone click the link on their website, but they never received the email. They tried it from their IE browser and still received no email. However, when I tested the link from my office on Chrome, FireFox, Opera, & IE, all of my emails went through to them. The difference? All of my browsers have been set up with my preferred email account. When I click on an email link, the browser knows which email address I want to use to send that email.

I know some people prefer to copy and paste the address into their favorite email client rather than setting up their browser/email.

What do others do? Do you use the copy/paste method? Are your browsers set up correctly, or are there tons of emails that just never get sent due to misinformation?

Thanks for the input!

Welcome to Kim’s Corner!

I have set up countless blog sites for others, however, I never took the time to set one up for myself.  Since blogs are now all the rage, I decided it was high time I got my own.

As a small business owner, I would love to hear from other small business owners about how our economy has affected your website budgets?  Are you keeping them current?  Are you doing your own websites?  Please post anything you care to share with me.

If you have any problems, please click on the envelope icon in the top right corner to send email. If you are using a browser other than Chrome, Firefox, or Explorer, the icon may not work. Instead, manually email me at Kim@RenewedWebPresence.com.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

Kim
