Hi Dale, Thanks for your cooperation :)
It would be nice if you sign in and try to give some examples of what the newsletter should contain, just edit the page as you like, it's very easy. Then we can take it from there. The upper right corner stuff, is the Table of Content. It should be possible to remove the first headline from the ToC. Thanks :) /Niels On Tue, 3 Feb 2009 23:18:19 +1100 dale <[email protected]> wrote: > Niels, > I'd be happy to help with constructing the newsletter.
