Mailing list (newsletter) project
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 8:00 pm
I am considering starting a new project for one of my sites, but would like to hear some feedback before I begin.
I am not even sure if this is possible, or how difficult it is to setup.
What I would like to do is send out a newsletter that only has a few lines of the actual article. In the newsletter will be links to the actual articles, which are actually all on one page. This page is also accessible through my site, and shows only the current version of the newsletter. Once a new newsletter has been sent out, the older one moves itself to the archives. Again, all archives are available through the website.
Where would I begin with such a project? Ultimately I see this having one admin area. I would put in the headlines, and the full article, and before the newsletter is sent PHP cuts the article down to whatever size I determine sends it out.
The big deal to me is to have the newsletter archive itself when a new one is sent out.
Any ideas??
Thank you,
Rick
