It's a small church so the pastor asked me to "volunteer". I have dreamweaver but I'm not a programmer. I can do the basic stuff but the thing i really wanted to do is a mailing list. i tried looking up how to do this but I couldn't find any good instructions. I have Microsoft access that i can use as a database, and as i said, I have dreamweaver. can anyone tell me how i could do a mailing list? thanks.

Posted:  19 Oct 2007 04:18 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  55 Join Date: Sep 2007 Mailing lists are typically something you'll buy software for, because you need a way for people to be able to interact with the database (and opt-out).  Google for mailing list software - much easier than trying to cobble it together.

Your settings should be "Messages from new members require approval" to be on the safe side, at least initially to weed them out. The fact that it'd be a church group wouldn't inhibit them unfortunately.

The setup, software, etc, could be used for just about anything. Posted:  12 May 2008 23:59 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  55 Join Date: Sep 2007 Unfortunately, some folks are a bit smug about their religious beliefs, and consider themselves one of the few true believers. Frankly, this isn't the place for proselytizing.  Let's just help folks with their web site development, ok? Posted:  13 May 2008 00:23 Registered User Currently Offline Posts:  175 Join Date: Apr 2008 Apparently Reviewer thinks he knows it all now!  Just because I happen to mention about Christianity because obviously this post is about asking of setting up a Church.  The reason why I mentioned about Christianity is because the website I know that gives free websites only gives them to people who are setting up a Christian only site.  O.k?  So when you next mention that I am smug you ought to remember that this is a website about SEO and not religion and I did not start the conversation.  So next time you presume you know what somebody is talking about Reviewer maybe it would be good if you actually read the post properly!
