Tx snider, looks good but I'd prefer a web-based option. Found a good article here - http://web.appstorm.net/roundups/9-email-marketing-and-newsletter-apps/ - so going to check through these options.

I'm looking for a web-based email marketing solution to manage a new HTML newsletter I'm starting up to go with my site. Don't need much, clean, easy-to-use interface, plus a few stats would be nice. One key feature is the ability for subscribers to recommend the newsletter to friends easily and to track that. Looking to spend about a tenner a month - sending to about 5,000 subscribers. I know about constant contact and vertical response, just wondering what everybody else uses. A UK company would be good.

http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wp-postratings - I've used this for a few years and customised the images simply by replacing one of the default sets with my own.

http://www.photoxpress.com/ http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_image_search?hl=en - in Advanced Search in Google Images you can select the 'Usage Rights' to 'For Commercial Reuse' which will filter your search. Double check the rights of the photo on the host site before use though.

Looking for something along the lines of; http://findicons.com...older?id=171887 http://pullus.devian...folder-65492251 I'd like a bigger template I can use for a newsletter. Searching for 'PSD folders' isn't very fruitful though, anyone know of any templates I can use? Or even a tutorial would be good.

Good idea, I'll look into that. tx

I've got a block of common text and a link that needs to be copied into most blog posts created. I can go into a previous post and copy/paste it but I'd prefer to have the functionality to either add this code as a WYSIWYG menu option (like the More button) or have it in a clipboard type thing so I can paste it directly into the post. Any plugins or other ideas?

I think it's due to this MayDay algo update - http://searchengineland.com/google-confirms-mayday-update-impacts-long-tail-traffic-43054 Thanks.

Not sure what I've done but my traffic has dropped by about a third since 31st May in Google. This happened to anyone else? The only thing I can find is that in Labs > Site Performance my site rapidly slowed down on that day so I've removed what I added at that time, plus trimmed down my site even more and that does seem to have stopped the drop but I see no return to previous traffic levels. Will this take longer to return or has site performance got nothing to do with rankings? Are there any other new factors that I need to take into account now?

Thanks but my main problem is that I don't know javascript.

I'm trying to hack this nav - http://nettuts.s3.cd.../demo/demo.html - so it can work on the right hand side rather than the left. So I need the scrolling effect to change from popping out right to popping out left. This is the code for the sliding_effect.js code; $(document).ready(function() { slide("#sliding-navigation", 25, 15, 150, .; }); function slide(navigation_id, pad_out, pad_in, time, multiplier) { // creates the target paths var list_elements = navigation_id + " li.sliding-element"; var link_elements = list_elements + " a"; // initiates the timer used for the sliding animation var timer = 0; // creates the slide animation for all list elements $(list_elements).each(function(i) { // margin left = - ([width of element] + [total vertical padding of element]) $(this).css("margin-left","-180px"); // updates timer timer = (timer*multiplier + time); $(this).animate({ marginLeft: "0" }, timer); $(this).animate({ marginLeft: "15px" }, timer); $(this).animate({ marginLeft: "0" }, timer); }); // creates the hover-slide effect for all link elements $(link_elements).each(function(i) { $(this).hover( function() { $(this).animate({ paddingLeft: pad_out }, 150); }, function() { $(this).animate({ paddingLeft: pad_in }, 150); }); }); } I've tried changing all the lefts to rights, I've played with all the numbers, added minus signs to them all but nothing changes it. Any ideas? My aim is to have this navigation style on a menu that's fixed on the right hand side of the screen with each item rolling out as you hover over it.

Looking for affiliates means you're a merchant with an affiliate program already running but I 'sense' you're after affiliate programs to join and promote, right? What kind and maybe people can help.

I would buy both and host on the .co.uk especially if your customers are from the UK. Whenever I'm searching 'locally' I prefer to see a website with a UK domain name, so I know I'm not getting a similar town/village in some random US/OZ state - a country domain will also help ensure you're not filtered out of any localised SERPs.

I've used a reseller account in my old job and if I got stuck I always went to this forum - http://www.webhostchat.co.uk We used http://www.rshosting.co.uk/reseller.html who were helpful with good support.
