 * Hi guys,
    I just created a custom theme for the newsletter following your article,
   then imported using the tool inside the editor. then I deleted the default theme.
   But, every time I start a new newsletter, the picture, the text (font and color)
   inside and the divider are always the default theme.
 * 1) how can I set up to start with a blank newsletter (except for the header and
   footer)?
    2) how can I set up to start with a half-ready newsletter (like now
   but with my custom style and writing)
 * thank you

 * When you install a new theme and hover over the thumbnail of it on the Themes
   tab inside your Newsletter editor step, there’s 2 icons that shows up: a Check
   and a Delete one (x). If you click on the Check one, that theme will be the default
   for the next newsletters you’ll create.
 * You can create a default newsletter and then just duplicate it, instead of creating
   one from scratch all the time.
 * Does these answers solve your questions?

 * Hi,
    no, unfortunately these answers didn’t solve my questions.
 * I’ll try to explain it better.
 * I add a new custom theme.
    I made the new custom theme as default theme by clicking
   the “check” icon (v). I delete the old default theme by pressing the “delete”
   icon (x). In the plugin folder I deleted all the files such divider, share icons,
   and etc , that my new custom theme doesn’t need.
 * However, every time I create a new newsletter, the header is the correct on (
   new theme), but the blocks that already there (by default) are from the old theme,
   and so goes for the picture.
 * where is the plugin taking the picture? and the style? because I deleted all 
   the files in the plugin folder.
 * so the questions are:
 * 1) can I start with a TOTALLY BLANK newsletter?
    2) if not, can I set to start
   with a newsletter with already some blocks in, but from my theme?
 * Here a screenshot to make it clear
    [>>>how it is](http://i.imgur.com/eNZnygr.jpg)
   [>>>how it should be](http://i.imgur.com/dGYr6to.jpg)
 * If you notice, in the first image, the divider are in, but the png file is missing,
   that’s why I deleted from the folder. But if I go in the divider setting, I still
   see 2 dividers instead of one, so everytime I have to change that setting too.

 * Answering your questions:
 * 1) can I start with a TOTALLY BLANK newsletter?
 * No!
 * 2) if not, can I set to start with a newsletter with already some blocks in, 
   but from my theme?
 * No, as well!
 * We are aware this is a problem, and we are going to fix it on the upcoming version
   of MailPoet. You’ll be able to create a default template and start from there.
   Sorry about this!

 * No worries guys!
    It is a great plugin however! And it is good that you will 
   implement this in the upcoming version!
 * Happy working and thank you for your efforts!
