bear with me... this is not my realm of expertise.

i've been asked to look into putting a mailing list on a site. i assume there is some kind of cookie cutter way to do this, but i don't know what that is... i'd like to be able to A) have some/complete control over how it looks and b)not have to pay anyone to have a mailing list.

also...

i was told by a friend that i could use modify moveable type stuff to create what is essentially a CMS, but i don't know how to find out if my hosting company (hostony) supports this. actually, i know very little about moveable type in general.

anyone who is feeling very kind who could explain any of this to me would be my best friend forever. thanks.
