I'll take a look at the wiki and see what I can come up with...this is a 
good idea.  Another thing I like is that the wiki will allow others to add 
important information to the newsletter if they wish.

Thanks for the assistance.  I'll get started this weekend, and plan on 
posting the first issue the first week of July.

No, wiki renders as html and can use css and images.  It has
a short learning curve rewarded by good productivity, IMHO.

Here's the main page (rendered as HTML):
