I just imported HTML into a template or an email campaign and I can't see any of the images. What's up?

If you create a new template or email and the images are not referenced "absolutely", you will be unable to see these images. In short, you need to upload all images using the editor, or an FTP client beforehand. (For advanced users.)

What this means is that your image source code will look like this:

<img src="http://www.domain.com/imagelocation.jpg" /> - Absolute Reference

not like:

<img src="imagelocation.jpg" /> - Relative Reference

Essentially, when you send out your newsletter the code which makes up the html of that newsletter needs a place to find those images. It does not, as many new users believe, actually contain the images themselves, this would make the load much to0 large for an HTML email. Instead, images are referenced to a location on a server where they can be quickly downloaded.

What About CSS Images?

Argh! Microsoft strikes again! With the release of Outlook 2007 HTML email has taken a step backwards; there is no longer support for externally referenced images from CSS files. For example, this will no longer work:

.myBackground {

background-image: url(http://www.mydomain.com/images/myFancyBackground.jpg);

}
