Can someone either design an email newsletter for me using the elements I have available or teach me how to set it up myself. I know “a little” html. I use a wysiwyg editor for my web site. I’d like to send out an offer to my regular customers, but it would be nice if it had graphics, etc.

I have already looked at webmonkey and a few others and I’m still lost.

I do a newsletter for a little group I help…about a hundred members. They enjoy a two-column setup. Lil’ ol’ ladies, rather largish print, short and easy to read lines, hence two columns.
I set up each page with s, one an outer wrapper, say 85% of the page, and two inner , each 50%, one floated left, the other right. At the top of the left, a group logo. Set up consistent sizes for , , , etc. Set up Verdana for on-screen, Georgia for print. (@media print)
Use img { float: right; display: inline; margin: 1em; }
(or img { float: left; display inline; margin: 1em; } )
for your photos.
Start there, and work your way up…
Alternatively, I suppose, you COULD go into OpenOffice and create a newsletter document and then Save As html and then diddle the results. But beware! DO NOT try this with Word! Microsoft Word creates ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS html!
