adding a film banner in your emails explained by Ramona

I have recieved many emails with people asking how to add the fansonfilm.com banner in an email or message board posting. I am not the expert….

So I asked, a true pro Ramona from Canada - who is one of the best web promoters to explain the process better.

Here is what she said…

“Tell people to add the banner to their email signatures.
There is an option preference to do so.
They just have to tinker around is all.”

All my best, Ramona.

…so it seems pretty easy if anyone else has any more advice feel free to email.

Thank You Ramona

emailing like a fool :)

Hi everybody I have spent last monday, this monday and today catching up on all the emails. If i did not respond to yours please resend it to md@fansonfilm.com. Now admittedly I have had some serious headaches figuring out my server email problems, so I chose to respond to all those I thought were not responded too. If I am repeating a response I am sorry I am just trying to get back to everyone personally. I now have all emails forwarding to my old yahoo email account (duranfanfilm@yahoo.com) as a default incase my server email is not working properly.

Also I hope to email you your member only codes in a few days for the media page. If I am unable to do this, I will post a generic code for all to look at ASAP. I have waited because I want registered members to have exclusives etc…

Hope you are enjoying your summer!

On the film front- It was 25 months ago today the filming began. Wow , that’s one month for every “Duran year”
Over the last several weeks, I have been very busy working with composer Mike Suby on the original score. Also several interesting DVD extras opportunities became available and we shot a few priceless additional moments.

Also a week ago I moved our post operation from LA back to NYC .. I will be working all day on Monday to catch up on the many recent email inquiries.

I will speak to you soon with another update.

Thanks for checking in!
