Hey Ben,

Glad to hear that you are enjoying SynthaSite and thanks for being the first to join our new forum!

What type of email service would you like to see in SynthaSite? Are you hoping for a personal email address or are you looking for a newsletter management system?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually. It can also be used to keep the content on your website updated without having to manually edit your page.

SynthaSite's RSS Reader widget allows you to pull content into your page from external websites. Once you have added the widget to the page, click the "Edit Properties" button on the widget. Then, click the "Edit Link" button on the Propertysheet. This will pop up a dialog that will allow you to enter the URL of the RSS feed that you want to display.

SynthaSite will have new RSS features in the coming weeks and months. Once we have released our blogging solution, readers will be able to subscribe to your blog via your own personal blog RSS feed.

We also intend to allow you to publish your development activity via an RSS feed so that your friends and contacts can keep up to date with any changes you make to your site.

Hi Bill

Let me see if I can address your questions as thoroughly as possible:
1) You can publish your site to a free subdomain and later, when you are ready, you can assign the same site to your own domain.
2) You own all the content on your site, including any revenue your site generates.
3) How does SynthaSite make money? Read more about it here: http://blog.synthasite.com/2008/06/13...
4) We don't have a blogging platform just yet, but we are working on it very hard right now and we are getting closer to making this available to the SynthaSite community soon. You should expect to see a SynthaSite blogging platform before the end of they year.

I hope this covers everything. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best wishes
Monique
