Starting this morning, we’re using a different service to send our daily email digest.

Most readers (hopefully) won’t notice any change, apart from a slightly different design. However, this new service allows us to dramatically improve readability on mobile devices. We can also now easily offer a text-only message for users whose email software isn’t set up to display HTML.

Also, the new service greatly streamlines our production process, which means I can spend more time finding stories and less time monkeying around with HTML templates. And on top of all that, it’s cheaper.

If you have any issues with your subscription during the transition, please don’t hesitate to contact me at info@energynews.us.

As always, thanks for supporting Midwest Energy News.

UPDATE 10/28: A number of readers have complained that the text is too light, particularly the links. I’ve changed the style sheet and hopefully things will look better tomorrow.
