Here’s a way I recently used Global Fields for my Daily Quote newsletter.

I wanted to use an apostrophe to identify the email as Name’s Daily Quote. But I didn’t want the apostrophe to display in the feed.

I was using {!firstname_fix}’s. Since I display the feed on other sites, I didn’t want people clicking over to see the ’s just sitting there, so I changed it to a Global Field; {!global apostrophe}.

So now it displays properly in the RSS feed!

Here is another great feature of {!GLOBAL FIELDS}

Use them to specify a URL and it won’t get changed to
http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CXbfJ…,
when click tracking is on! That way you can have
tracked and untracked URLs in one broadcast email at
the same time.

For example:

Fieldname: mainsiteurl
Value: http://www.example.com

Use in plaintext:
{!global mainsiteurl}

Use in HTML:
<a href="{!global mainsiteurl}">{!global mainsiteurl}</a>
or
<a href="{!global mainsiteurl}">Web Site Title</a>

I found this quite useful.

Have a nice weekend, folks.

Good to see your smiling face in the blog also.

Thanks again.

Are you referring to having different signatures for different campaigns/lists?

If so, you’d simply set up the appropriate signature in the appropriate list (toggle between lists using the dropdown menu on the right side of the control panel).
