Hello {FIRSTNAME Friends},

Welcome to the HelpingFoot.com Newsletter!

Before I get into the Q&A today, I want to tell
you about an awesome resource I've found for you
guys that is totally free and could rock the way
you do business online.

Have you ever heard of hypnotic marketing?  Well,
it doesn't matter.  Whether you said yes or no:

Go grab your day planner right now and block out
Tuesday, October 5th, from 8:00pm to 9:30 pm EST.
If you had something else planned, cancel it.
Seriously, this is that important.

I just found out that one of my most trusted
marketing mentors, Joe Vitale, is doing a very
special training event on October 5th and as
a valued of subscriber mine, he's allowed me
to let you listen in for fr'ee.

Joe's going to *give* you his "Hypnotic Writing
Master Formula". This is the exact same formula
that he's only ever revealed to 10 hand picked
people and they each paid him $5,000 for it.
It's that powerful.

Cl`ick here to register for fr'ee now:

I'll be there, because I can't wait to learn
about:

=> The 3 ne'ver-before-revealed secrets Joe Vitale
has kept under safe lock and key his entire life
=> Powerful lessons learned from old comic books
=> The great "intimacy secret" that increases your
sales

See you there on October 5th.

And now on to some:

"Hi Justin, just wanted to let you know that the
link you posted to the free pdf creator does not
work i.e.
http://www.helpingfoot.com/resources/pdf.html
Thanks. I enjoy your newsletter."

Not to fret, here are a couple of other ones you
can try (I haven't used all of these, so make sure
they are what you need before you try them, but
from my initial review they all appear to be good
products)

Also, I just tested the site that the original
link was to, and it appears to be working - give
it a try at:

Hope this helps!

"Where can I find a FrontPage course? Free of
charge"

Well, you can get a "free" course on CD at:

http://www.videoprofessor-to-go.com/frontpage.html

I say "free" because you have to pay $5 or $6
shipping and handling - still not a bad deal,
though.

A place with some good info online is:

http://www.docnmail.com/learn/FrontPage.htm

Also, if you Google "Free Fronpage Course" you'll
get links to 993,000 different free sources of
information about Frontpage.

Dominique asked:

"My biggest question right now deals with web
forms. I use GoLive to build my sites. Once I've
got the form designed how do I make it work? For
example, I want to create an email sign up form
(like the one you have below) and a discussion
board so that I can gather email addresses and
host discussions on my website. How do I go about
creating and making that possible?"

OK - this is a bit tricky - there are a ton of
different ways of processing web forms, and almost
all of them are CGI / PERL scripts of some sort. 
For example, the one that you filled out to give
me that question is actually powered by a third
party site that processes and stores these
questions for me.  You can check out this
technology at:

http://www.helpingfoot.com/ask

If you just want the results of the form emailed
to you, most people use a version of a script
called FormMail.  You can get one for free from
our site at:

http://www.helpingfoot.com/mailform.html

One thing - this assumes that you are working on
**nix servers - I actually don't have a bunch of
experience with Windows, and the above script
won't work on Windows.

To learn about more complex functions you can use
CGI for check out:

OK - I think that is about all I can cover for
today.  I am getting through all of your questions
as fast as I can - I'm not ignoring any of you. 
Also, some of you posted questions that are pretty
complex about ecommerce sites, shopping carts, and
more complex scripting, etc. The likelyhood is I
will cover that on a conference call sometime in
the next month, as I would have to write a book to
you through email to cover everything here.

Keep up the good work, and let me know if you have
any questions or comments!
