html emails

[WannaBrie]

I am ready to go nuts over this one. My boss wants me to design an html email. I am not a coder and basically I suck at most of the web stuff. The only program i have to do this with is DW. I created one and uploaded the images to our website, but no one can view it. I also tried using a free template that someone kindly posted a link to the other day. That didn't work either. I am at my wits end here. Is there some easier way to do it or what collosal mistake am I making? any suggestions? :confused: :mad:

Write the email like any web page in html code. You can use a software program to generate the code, but make sure the urls for the images are absolut. You will need a server space to post the images to. Your email program will need to be able to accept or maybe the right word here is export the html and send the email. Thunderbird will do this. In Thunderbird when you compose a new email, click in the text area where you would normaly write your email, and then go back up to the menu and click insert, then html. Insert your code that you wrote erailer into this area. You'll have to find on your own, what the code you put in to grab names off an address book, and customise each generic email with the persons name. This is just a very basic, free way to do this.

Hope this helps!
