  • Did Google Gmail Change Its Styling Of Paragraphs In Emails?

    By Eve 23 June 2009 under Design For Email

    While doing an email testing for one of thepixelage’s clients, we realize that Google’s Gmail no longer supports paragraph as it meant to be. If you were to use paragraph tag (<p></p>), as you should, Gmail seems to ignore them.

  • Common Pitfalls With Using Images In Your Campaigns
