Embed Email Archives On Your Website

November 14th, 2008 | by Ben

MailChimp users: you can build a “newsletter archive” page on your website that gets automatically updated whenever you send a new campaign. It’s called the “Campaign Archive Folder” and it’s totally free with every MailChimp account. All you have to do is add a little snippet of code to your web page.

Here’s how to do it…

Once you have a page that links to all your archived newsletters, you should place a link to this archive page in your welcome emails. That way, new subscribers can always see your most recent campaigns. You might also want to place a link to your archive right on your signup form, so people can “see past issues” before they decide to signup.

Speaking of campaign archives, we just enhanced them in two ways:

      This is great. Very well explained and easy to do.

      Two things I’d like to point out for others however:

      1) this list is being generated using javascript, so on browsers that don’t have javascript (such as on a Blackberry) this content won’t be visible.

      2) because the list is generated by javascript these links are not indexable by search engines, such as google.

      3) the list produced by the code snippet, outputs the date and title (linked) of each campaign. The date is output in the MM/DD/YYYY format.

      For some of us that’s unconventional, and may lead to confusion! Would be great if you could specify a DD/MM/YYYY format.

      otherwise, great!

      Yeah, that’s really very cool.

      But I’m with Charlie Ward: The date is in the wrong format for Europeans like me.

      Please give us the possibility to change the date!

      Is the archive in any way searchable?
