daveryder.com [the official dave ryder website]

The old daveryder.com website had a newsletter with quite a few members, but when we changed servers everything was broken (bummer).

But I saved the list of members (yay).

So, in keeping with the spirit of upgrading the website I made the decision to revamp it to match the style of the new website, and also to put a quick and easy sign up form in the sidebar.

Major. Fucking. Headache.

Wow. 2 days later, after spending at least 20+ hours on it, I’m ready to reload my original members emails up and send them a “test” newsletter. So I’m sorry to say this, but you guys (my oldest and most valued friends and fans) are going to be the guinea pigs (boo! hiss!).

No, seriously, if you even get the test letter, let me know if anything is weird or whacko, and, as they are all sent as html, if you only allow text email I’m sure it won’t be pretty (but links should still function, you just won’t see any images. duh.)

Anyway I had major help incorporating all this into wordpress from H2B2 (off the horizon) at the phplist forums, and the cool CSS for creating the bitchin’ (whoa 80’s flashback) form box I learned from this tutorial at webcredible. So there’s the props and thanks guys.
