Noob question

[tco21]

I'm finishing a quick one page "website coming soon" holder for my site, and in it is an input option for people to add their email address for notification. The code is:

<div class="form">
<form method="post" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="YOUR_FORM_ID"/>
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" name="unit" value="CAMPAIGN"/>
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.aweber.com/form/thankyou_vo.html" id=YOUR_ID_HERE"/>
<input type="hidden" name="meta_redirect_onlist" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="name,from"/>
<input type="hidden" name="meta_forward_vars" value="0"/>
Name: <input type="text" class="formname" name="name" value="" size="20"/>
Email: <input type="text" class="formname" name="from" value="" size="20"/>
<input type="submit" class="sendform" name="submit" value="Go!"/>
</form></div>
</div>

My problem is Aweber.com isn't free and I'm not going to pay $1 just for that. I've signed up with mail chimp. How do I direct it to/from there?

Thanks

Here's a good start: http://www.mailchimp.com/api/

That won't help. I know bugger all about it.

There are a couple of options you can use. What sort of hosting do you have, Windows or Linux?

Try this: http://www.emailmeform.com/

It will generate the code for you, then just copy & paste onto the page.

If you're not prepared to pay for a premium service then you should rather look at running your own mailing list. Check with your host if they allow it, and what they offer. if it's a cPanel service then you'll at least have access to mailman (look in your cPanel for mailing list, under the Email Management Tools) or phplist (probably under Fantastico or Softaculous). Otherwise head over to http://www.hotscripts.com and look for something free to use.

At this point in time it would also be a good place to start learning about the internet, websites, web development and spam - as these are all related to your current, and future website issues
