How to send free listserv messages and more!
Here's another fabulous looking email listerv tool. Free for up to 500 subscribers and you can send up to 3,000 messages to those subscribers, per month. Connects with all kinds of other tools like Twitter too. http://www.mailchimp.com/ ----Thanks to John Cooper for this tip! (Cheaper than Elite)
Elitemail.com is a company you can use to easily create a free listserv/e-newsletter. Using their step by step instructions, you sign-up for 1,000 free email newsletter messages (e.g. If you have 200 people to send to, you could send out your newsletter 5 times for free – 5 X 200 = 1,000). After that you pay $10 U.S. for another 1,000. To get started, click on their "Free Trial" button and follow the step by step instructions to sign-up. (A salesman may telephone you, but they are very low key and you don't need to buy anything).

How to change the defaut profile image in a NING network you have created:
You can control the default profile photo new members get when they join your social network without uploading their own profile photo.
To add a default profile photo to your social network, head to the Manage tab, look under "Your Ning Network" heading, and then click on the "Information" link (blue circle).
Upload your image to the "Set default profile photo" section. Choose an image that is a GIF, JPG or PNG and that is square. Your image will be resized to a 175x175-pixel square.

Hi Aerin - I'll send you an email too. Annie (Annie Kidder our Executive Director) wants to start tweeting in the new year. We just have to find the money to buy her a new phone to make it a bit easier... In the mean time I've been experimenting with twitter @gaystephenson
But we'd sure appreciate your advice!
