Newsletter template for use with iContact

I plan to buy the syndicated text articles for sale at this site for an email newsletter for my counseling practice, <[login to view URL]> but want my newsletter to look different, more like my own website. I need an html template for the newsletter for use with the iContact autoresponder. In addition to the article, I want some small sections of the newsletter available for my secretary to add text about events going on in our office. I want her to easily be able to use the template with a new article every 3 three months. In your proposal, please include whether you have prior experience making a template for use with iContact email autoresponders.
