Question	What are the different ways to target recipients for my newsletters?
Answer	Composr offers several targeting options: Subscriptions: Users can specifically subscribe to newsletters, separate from site membership. Usergroups (Conversr only): You can send newsletters to members of specific usergroups, regardless of their newsletter subscriptions. CSV imports/exports: You can import subscribers from a CSV file or export your subscriber list for custom targeting.

Question	How can I prevent my emails from being marked as spam?
Answer	Here are some tips to reduce the likelihood of your emails being flagged as spam: Set up SPF records: SPF (Sender Policy Framework) helps verify that your server is authorized to send emails from your domain. Ask users to whitelist your email address: Encourage recipients to add your email address to their contacts list or "Safe Senders" list. Configure DKIM: DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a digital signature to your emails, increasing their legitimacy. Use a reputable email service provider: Consider using a third-party email service if you're struggling with email deliverability.

Question	Why are my emails being blocked by spam filters?
Answer	Several factors can cause emails to be blocked: Server issues: Your server might be on a spam blacklist, or there may be problems with your server's reverse DNS or HELO settings. Content issues: Your email content might trigger spam filters due to factors like an unreasonable image-to-text ratio, broken reply-to addresses, or inconsistent text and HTML versions. SPF records: Your "Website email address" might be hosted on a different server with an SPF record that doesn't authorize your web server to send emails from that address.

Question	How do I configure SMTP settings in Composr?
Answer	Composr can use either its own SMTP connection code or PHP's built-in SMTP functionality. Using PHP's SMTP settings is generally recommended and can be managed at the server level. However, if your SMTP server requires authentication (which PHP doesn't support natively) or if your server lacks an SMTP server, you'll need to use Composr's SMTP connection code, configurable in the Configuration module.

Question	How does Composr send emails?
Answer	Composr constructs emails using language strings and templates written in Comcode. It sends emails in both HTML and plain text formats to ensure compatibility with different email clients. To minimize the chance of emails being marked as spam, Composr embeds CSS and images directly into the email instead of linking to them externally.

Question	How can I make my website design more appealing to different thinking styles?
Answer	Different individuals process information differently. Some are more visual, while others are more analytical. To appeal to diverse thinking styles, a website design should incorporate a balance of elements. For instance, using a striking header image coupled with well-structured, informative text can cater to both visual and analytical thinkers. Understanding your target audience and their thinking styles is key to creating a design that resonates with them.

Question	What considerations are necessary when designing for different user levels on a website?
Answer	User levels often necessitate different content or functionalities. For instance, administrators might need access to content creation tools, while regular visitors only view published content. Consider these factors during design: Visibility: Some elements might need to be hidden or displayed based on user roles (e.g., admin-only links). Permissions: Design elements and interactive features should reflect the permissions granted to different user levels. Customization: Consider allowing users to customize their experience based on their preferences and roles. Remember, a well-designed website should cater to all user levels while maintaining security and a cohesive experience.

Question	How do I make my website theme mobile-friendly in Composr?
Answer	Composr offers several features to optimize themes for mobile: Mobile mode: You can design separate layouts and CSS styles specifically for mobile devices, which Composr automatically activates when a mobile user visits your site. Tempcode's 0 symbol: This symbol helps conditionally display content based on whether the user is on a mobile device or desktop. CSS media queries: By using media queries, you can target specific screen sizes and adjust styles accordingly, making your theme responsive. Viewport meta tag: This tag controls how the browser scales and displays the webpage on mobile devices, ensuring a properly sized and zoomable experience.

Question	What is responsive design, and why is it essential for mobile devices?
Answer	Responsive design ensures a website adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes, providing an optimal viewing experience across devices, particularly mobile phones and tablets. It utilizes techniques like flexible grids, fluid images, and CSS media queries to adjust layout and content based on screen dimensions. This is crucial because mobile device usage is significant, and a non-responsive site leads to a poor user experience on smaller screens, potentially driving visitors away.

Question	How can I create a theme pack for release in Composr?
Answer	After designing your theme, go to the admin panel's "Addons" section. You'll find an option to export your current theme as an addon. Composr will package the necessary files into a downloadable archive, ready to be shared with others or submitted to the Composr community for installation on other sites.
