Hi,

I want to send out HTML mail to my list of subscribers. I have searched for a tutorial on how to compose HTML mail, but I haven't found anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Perhaps you could point me to a tutorial.

Also, I want to set-up my messages so that they are automatically sent every week without requiring me to do anything. How can I do this?

Thanks!

Do you have any server side scripting knowledge?

I have had dealings with cgi and php. I'm not sure if they fall under the heading of server side scripting.

A good php newsletter script will have html functionality built in. I've used Jax Newsletter and it has that.

For fun give RSS feed some thought. It's easy to set up and seems to be at times replacing newsletters for some.

Okay, so where is a good tutorial on how to set-up an RSS feed? Is there any freeware that will automatically create a RSS for me?

Google "listgarden" and you will find what you need and it's free. It's pretty straight forward to implement.

Writing an RSS feed is very straightforward. Have a look at the Webmaster World feed [webmasterworld.com] as an example.

Well, RSS wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I have it up on my site right now.

Thanks for all the help!
