form to get e-mail and name --- for newsletter

  #1  
Jul 17th, 2003
Hello!

I was thinking about starting to collect peoples adresses for my newsletter.
To do this I thought about making a pop-under window asking them to subscribe by entering their name and e-mail adress.

How do I do this?

I know how to make a pop-under window, but I'm not sure about the form part (name, adress, submit-button)

Thanks,
Daniel

To do this, you need a backend script which will send the mail via sendmail (linux) or smtp (windows). The script can be written in php, perl, etc etc.

There are a bunch of free scripts on the Internet you could download provided they're available for your server platform. There are also remotely hosted ones. Just do a google search.

Once you find one, it's just a matter of inserting the proper HTML code into your site
<form action="script.php" method="post">
     <input type="text" name="username">
     <input type="text" name="email">
     <input type="submit" value="Join!">
</form>

Have you had success with getting email addresses this way?

I'm still trying to find out the best way to get new newsletter enrollees. It's harder than I thought it'd be!

Daniel,

If you create a feed you can send it to multiple emails with feedblitz. Make your newsletter in blog format.

Sorry, the post showed up in a search and didn't notice the date.
Anyway the solution offered is a good counsel for setting up newsletters and feedblitz is quite recent. Apologies for that.
