How to Create an ezine

I have enjoyed bookmarket.ning.com so much. I believe I am on a sharp learning curve from reading so many of your comments about the numerous possibilities of online publishing, etc.

I understand why it is so important but I need to know how...

Would you share your comments with me on setting up an ezine and how you did it and give me any input you can on my two questions below:

I would like to know why some of you have chosen to create your e-zine in a text editor and used either monospaced or fixed width font for the text. How did you decide which to use?

Has anyone used the publishing platform Virtual Paper? If you have used it, are your pleased with it? If you use something similar, would you share with me the details.

Appreciate your input and help. Thanks.
