Best Golf Icons, Clipart and templates roundup
Since quiet a few people find this web site by searching for golf graphics I thought I would do a bit of a roundup of them. These are the sites I found in my search:
tpdkdesign has an assortment of different sport icons including golf.
Quiet nice golf illustration in .eps format from indir2.com.
A male golf player swinging his golf club here.
Cartoonclipart has about 2 or 3 fairly good quality cartoon style golf art.
The above is a golf themed Joomla/Mambo template at Joomla/Mambo template club.
A good template from Elegant-templates
Integral by csstemplates. While this is not directly golf themed, it does have a very fitting colour theme and nice layout.
Greenery by Full ahead designs.
Do you know of any others?
PhpList template
After sitting at my computer for about 48 hours straight I finally have what I’m pretty sure is a working phplist template. 
I’ve learned a lot of things during this time one of which is that it is surprisingly difficult to create a HTML email template. This is mainly due to the fact that all the different popular email readers render HTML emails slightly differently. Some have a lot of trouble with CSS. Some by default don’t display images until the reader changes a setting. I’ve tried to take as many of these challenges into consideration as possible to make the above template.
Please note, this will only work if you have the “multiple content” phplist plugin installed.
Also note that I have not really tested this on many email programs and would love feedback on how it goes. I use Gmail so I know it looks ok there using Firefox.
One more thing, for this to work correctly you need to remove the automatic footer that phplist inserts and insert it into the template manually. Otherwise for some reason it gets a bit messed up.
The template uses no images but you can add your own of course.
To use it, download the file and go to your installation of phplist. Go to “templates” and “Add new template”. Save it and then got to “send message”. Make sure to test first.
Don’t forget to also provide a text only version of your newsletter to your readers.
