BertC – I realize you feel like you don’t know where to start. Codex has everything you need if you have the time to read through it. You will want to get familiar with WordPress in general.
Here are a few tips for your specific question here.
1: Go to Google.com and just start searching for close to your topic key phrases(WordPress email plugin auto email, automatic email program for WordPress) and see what you will find.
2: Go to your dashboard and go to your plugins area and click “add new” and search in there for an email program.
Hope that helps. If you don’t like reading how to’s necessarily my company is just launching learnhowtowp.com where we are creating a large library of easy short videos that may be of help to you.
