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.
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.
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.<p>A preview on what to expect (e.g. The last email that was sent out) would be nice, too.
@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.<p>Those that have signed up, thank you! You should see the first newsletter later next week.
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?
I have a free, open source software on github. Is this the kind of thing that would be featured in the tips for designers & developers? It's a bit hard to figure out what kind of tips, without a sample / preview of the content you're going to send...
