I want a big "Do PR" button

Press this buttonI want a button like this one, that I can just press and some clever Artificial Intelligence does what I want.

Every 8 weeks or so we release a new version, and I send out press releases, post announcements, update directory websites, send emails, etc.

I don’t mind writing the original copy, that’s the easy part. The hard part is that most places require manual entry, and each one has different length requirements so you have to cut out words to fit. Some want HTML, others plain text, some want .DOC.

[DETOUR] It's a shame no-one has a PR version of ASPRSS yet. Just post via RSS, people all around the world pick up the format that they need.

So, I’m looking to hand this over to someone. I’ve used a local PR woman in the past, but she has no technical background so it *may* be harder for her to handle. If you've never done this yourself it may be hard to understand, but believe me it's a royal pain.

Like I say, this is just one day every 2 months, but it’s a day I’m beginning to dread! However, it’s worth it as the traffic and sales go crazy for 2-3 weeks after each PR boost.

Does anyone know a service/person/method that could help?
