Newsletter Creation?
Some people have asked how they can create their own email newsletter or if I could create a templated email newsletter for them. Well here's the scoop to get you started... This newsletter was created using is a free downloadable website authoring program called NVU. You can use it for much more than just creating an email newsletter because its primary function is to create internet websites similar to the way Microsoft FrontPage works. It's also available as a Windows XP compatible version and can be downloaded for free from... http://www.nvu.com/ You'll also need an email program that supports inserting HTML code into an email message. I haven't found an easy way for Outlook Express to support HTML code insertion but Mozilla Thunderbird sure does! Besides, Thunderbird is an excellent email program and it offers more features than Outlook Express such as junk mail (spam) controls! It is also available as a Windows XP compatible version and can be downloaded for free from... http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ As for creating a newsletter template? Yes, I can do that but you'll have to call my office at 895-5016 to set up a consultation appointment so we can discuss your specific requirements. Then we can design a professional newsletter that reflects your business image.

C'mon, you know that a watched pot never boils! So use the built-in Easter Egg that hardly anyone knows about and play a diversionary game while Spybot does it's thing. Just click the little binocular icon located in the upper left side of the main window to launch a game while your waiting for your scan to finish.
