First, you will want to check out this page about the usages of a mailing list and how to get started with one through Green Apple. Once your list is created, you can check out your list, along with other lists through this link: http://lists.greenapple.com/

HTML Coding

The easiest way to introduce a mailing list to your page is to link to your site on the main lists server. In order to do so, you can use this url form on your site: http://lists.greenapple.com/mailman/listinfo/YOURLIST (Substitute your list's name for YOURLIST)

This link will take a user directly to your list's generated html page and they can perform all functions needed to be part of a list. If you wish to put the HTML to directly correspond with your list on your own page, you can use these examples:

HTML

You can copy this directly to your web site with changes that correspond to your list and it should work for your needs. Be sure to change all instances of YOURLIST to reflect your proper list name. If you are familar with HTML coding, you can break up or modify this code in a manner in which you see fit on your page.

Configuring Your List

To administrate your list, go to http://lists.greenapple.com, find you list and then click on the admin button. Furnish your administrator password and you will enter the configuration screen. Your list comes preset with most general options configured for optimal use. Below is a list of options the list administrator should configure in order to use their list.

• Under General Options
  • Personalized Options
    • Terse Phrase - A short phrase describing your list
    • Introductory paragraph -  A paragraph describing your list in greater detail. This will be visible to those viewing the info page through your list's site on lists.greenapple.com
    • New subscriber message - A message that is appended to the automatically generated welcome email sent to new subscribers.
    • Leaving message - A message that is appended to the automatically generated leaving email sent to departing subscribers.

Other options, such as membership and other option menus are already defaulted to preferred values. It is recommended that those options are not changed as this can break the functionality of your list. To get more information on what each option performs, you can click on the (details) tag next to each option. By clicking on (details), you will be taken to a separate page with information on the specified option and a chance to make changes through this page.
