SYSTEM NEWS/UPDATES: Easy html newsletter creation

CREATE FANCY "WEB DESIGN" NEWSLETTERS EASILY WITHOUT PROGRAMMING

You asked for it, we got it!  Our USHostOffice.net newsletter/email marketing service has been enhanced with a powerful interactive editor.  Now you can create html-formatted newsletters without learning cryptic html commands or using a separate web editor program.

The new built-in WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) content editor allows you to easily create formatted text, graphics, hyperlinks and tables right on the screen using your web browser.  With a few mouse clicks your newsletter can be created with text enhancements such as bold, underline, and italics and your choice of fonts.  You can easily incorporate any image or photograph hosted on your website into your newsletter and the system will convert web addresses into clickable hyperlinks automatically.

If you sign-up for a newsletter/mailing list hosting account before the end of this month we'll waive the one-time setup fee.  That's an instant savings of $50 just by typing "free setup for June" in the additional information area on the order form.

For more information visit www.USHostOffice.net or contact us.

TECHNICAL TIPS: Including graphics in your newsletter

Making your newsletter or email message look professional is easy when you incorporate graphics.  Bright, crisp graphics make it easier to get the reader's attention and it is still true that one picture is worth a thousand words.

To incorporate graphics into your email, first publish the graphics file to your website.  You can put it anywhere on your site but it is easiest to create a special folder such as "homegraphics" to hold the files.  Simply reference the image in your html document using the full URL path to the file.

For example, if the graphics file is hpsjccmember.gif in the folder "homegraphics" on our own site www.voicegateway.com, the full url (used in an html image tag) for this would be http://www.voicegateway.com/homegraphics/hpsjccmember.gif

MARKETING TIPS: Start your own free blog

Do you know what a "Blog" or "Weblog" is? It is the latest Internet craze that just might become a permanent part of the online experience.  It seems just about everyone from "joe six pack" to "soccer moms" and even CEO's are starting their own personal web logs (blogs, for short).

A weblog is a specialized kind of website where the owner of the site posts their own running commentary frequently.  Think of it as a personal diary or journal posted for the world to read.  The most successful weblogs have interesting topics and information and are not just personal rants or fluff.

The important new twist that makes a weblog more than just a one-man personal newspaper or journal is the ability for the viewers to post comments and feedback.  By allowing the readers to contribute their own ideas, weblogs become forums for discussions (arguments too!) and the open exchange of ideas.  Rather than someone preaching from a pulpit, the weblog is more like a virtual version of London's famous Speaker's corner in Hyde Park (which you MUST visit if you ever go to the UK.)

It is also important for a weblog to be updated regularly.  Most blogs are updated several times a week or even daily.  A weblog is like publishing a personal newpaper or magazine.  If you don't keep your readers interested with new material, they will stop coming by and find something else to read.

Having a blog used to mean buying and installing special software on your website or programming it yourself.  Just a little bit too much effort for most of us that are already too busy.

Voicegateway.com is excited to introduce a new and completely free blog hosting service.  We are running a free hosting service for creating and publishing your own blog.  There is no software to buy, no scripts to install, and best of all, nothing to pay.  (The service is supported by professional advertising provided by Google.)

We're currently in our first phase of operation and welcome your participation.  Just visit us at www.mycblog.com and fill out a blog request form to get started.
