I would recommend filling in real address details in Mailchimp. After I entered my email and was taken to the confirmation page I immediately regretted it when I saw the "1234 B St LA, California 90210" address. Not a good signal for legitimacy.

Yeah. I work from home and I didn't want my address public. I understand your concern.

P.O. boxes are your friend

Like others, I also like to see a sample before sign-up. Also, there need to be assurance that given email won't be used for other purposes/shared with others/spam ...etc.

Please see my comment above about this. Thanks!

At least on iOS Chrome, the color of the email field is white on white which makes it hard to see what you are typing.

A preview on what to expect (e.g. The last email that was sent out) would be nice, too.

Thanks for the heads up. It should have a "pinkish" background. I'll look into it. EDIT: Fixed. It was a CSS bug

Same on Safari, OSX 10.10.2

Seems to be across the board based on comments.

Can't enter email on both FF and Chrome.. EDIT: actually, can, just both the text and background is white.. WHY???
Paul_Dessert · 11 years ago
Still looking into this. It's weird. It looks good in FF on my localhost, but I see what you're talking about when it's on the live server. EDIT: Fixed. It was a CSS bug

@everyone asking for a sample. I have no intention of spamming you. There aren't any examples because it's a new newsletter. There is nothing to show yet. I'll add an archive section to the site and post old newsletters a few days after I send them out.

Those that have signed up, thank you! You should see the first newsletter later next week.

I'd want to see a sample before I signed up.

It would be nice to have an example of what an email would look like (even 1 screenshot on 1 page would be alright for me).
aepearson · 11 years ago
Ditto on this. I have no idea what I'm signing up for...

I need inspiration at specific time and for that a periodic email is not going to cater me well. Would you consider delivering this in some other format - for example online gallery that is available when I need it?
Paul_Dessert · 11 years ago
For now I'm going to keep it as an email list. If the participation is high enough, I'll start posting people's completed projects to the site. Kind of a "completed projects" gallery

Why not make the Mailchimp archive public? Folks can subscribe if they want, get a feed, or view the archive. Content is the same either way. And that'd solve the "I'd like to see what I'm subscribing to" questions.
