I've been doing things today...
I setup urlfilter, inline, and simplenews for post.thing.net.
urlfilter automatically converts web and email addresses to links.
the inline module allows you to place attached images in your post. See the Input Format->Filtered HTML description for more details.
Inline and URL Filter will only work with the filtered HTML input format.
Simple News will become our new mailing list manager. Allowing you to easily subscribe and unsubscribe from our mailing lists.
Signing off for now...
