How do I create a HTML email newsletter?

[mclcmilw]

Help! We are in need of starting an email newsletter for our organization. I do my own HTML coding and am fairly knowledgable with general and semi more advanced website creation and maintenance, but don't know the easiest and best way to create a email newsletter. Any assistance or heading in the right direction would be appreciated! We have little to no funds really either so FREE by creating ourselves or little $ would be preferred.

Thanks soooo much!

There are many ways to go about this, but the one I have used most is to create a template 'front page' of the newsletter with all of the links coded with FULL URL to additional pages/articles.  Then use a mailman mailing list to send that page out as a newsletter.

Thanks for the reply. I believe I follow you with creating the template (I'm assuming by code) as it's own page with links, etc... but what exactly do you mean by mailman mailing list?

I know how to send page by email, would we send the page and just bcc the email addresses or what is the best way to set up a mailing list?

Mailman is available in your Cpanel.
