Newsletter/Ezine templates needed.

I run an article directory/ezine resource site. I'm creating a script that will allow my visitor to input information into a form and the script will output the ezine template with the users information in it. Problem is, I need the templates to complete this.

I need a few basic ezine/newsletter templates. Doesn’t have to be anything fancy and graphics if there are any should be genetic e.g. no urls so anyone can use them. Color and style are up to you.

In exchange for this service you can add a copyright or "This template made by" link in the template. (Or whatever wording you wish). I also need a thumbnail of the template and i'll put a donated by link pointing to your website under the thumbnail image.

Please note that the template will not be used by me personally but will be distributed to my visitors so it could be a great way of getting the word out about your designs.

If anyone’s interested please pm me.

Edit: x2
The template should include the following sections:

1.Editorial
2.Classified Ad
3.Article
4.Feedback
5.Classified Ad
6.Unsubscribe Information

The template must be HTML but can use CSS if you like.

I'll give this a try too, Atazoth.

Would it be alright if the template is coded in mostly HTML but in .php extension? (ease of adding headers/footers) It's fine if not, I just wanted to know.

Hey Little Cat Lover

Normally I wouldn't mind being a huge proponent of PHP but, since the main readers of these templates are going to be Email programs I thing HTML would be the way to go.

Yeah, Thanks for bringing all this up I would never of thought about CSS. This has to be mainly one file. The HTML file, because any additional components like CSS can't be sent through mail and read properly.

About the only flare that email allows us are a few graphics (some even block those like outlook express xp sp2) though as I originally posted they would have to be small in size since they would remain server side.

I would like to get at lease one or two without graphics e.g. plain HTML... Try to offer a variety of options for my viewers.

Hope this helps

Concerning CSS, I found this on google

Quote:
I use a call to an external CSS file.
But I also make sure the format degrades nicely, or at least not in a mess, if the email client doesn't retrieve the CSS file.

I guess it is possible then. So, if you wish to use this go right ahead.

That's good news, CSS makes the job much easier but I will try making one with only html also.

I will certainly try to get you one in the next few days with CSS. Maybe tonight if I can.
Do you prefer any particular colours or colour schemes?

Hey CBG

Looking forward to seeing some. Color doesn’t mater much, I'll leave that up to you.

Version 1
http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic.php?u=26786KV2G&i=786069
This is not exactly great, I can't seem to get a margin for the tables...

Version 1b (CSS)
http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic.php?u=26786KV2G&i=786070

And I will start working on a HTML only template if you like it.

Thanks, I like version 1b and i'll probably take it. Do you think you could add a few sections to it?

Like:

1.Editorial
2.Classified Ad
3.Article
4.Feedback
5.Classified Ad
6.Unsubscribe Information

I know I should of mentioned this in my first post and I apologize, I'll edit it to include the information.

Other than that it looks great. I could use a couple more now of maybe differant layouts and colors if you or anyone else is interested.

Sorry for the delay, but here is the template with the changes made. Everything you need should be included in the zip file (Is 5.7 kb small enough? Most of it is the HTML file, not the images so that should be okay?)
Attached Files
File Type: zip template1b.zip (5.7 KB, 11 views)
