That's an extremely hidden feature we weren't sure anybody knew about!I believe that's what it was programmed to do -- it uses the most recent template. We assumed it would be used by web designers who might want to setup an account and one template for a "tech-impaired" client. So we didn't program the ability to select templates. Now that we know at least one person's using this, we'll circle back around and consider upgrading this feature. Hi Mike, whoah — someone uses that feature?

It seems that every time we work on a different campaign in Mailchimp, then Live Writer will use THAT template for its next new campaign.Can anyone explain the relationship - or - how to control which template Live Writer uses?

Not from the Create Campaign area, or from the Templates area. What am I missing? I'll go back to duplicating the last campaign and run it that way, but I'm suck on using templates, which would be the elegant way to create a campaign, or so I am fantasizing. ~Lisa I’m feeling like I’m missing something key– I have two templates created that I want to use for a campaign (one saved from a prior campaign), but I’m just not seeing how to create a campaign FROM a template.

I have a client you uses a wel known competitor of yours for Emailings and th einterface and options are so poor - I hate using it ! So I guess I'll create something special with Mail Chimp and sent it to him as a spoof email - and hopefully he'll talk about changing over !!! But he says it's also the problem of importing his mailing list (about 10,000) ?!?

I think that Mailchimp is just genius. Right from the word go I've loved your company - from the customer service, to the actual email service, to the fun links and comments made by the monkey. It's just brilliant.One thing I'm keen to do (and perhaps I've missed something) is to use a template that allows me to have pictures beside each of my link headlines on my newsletter. The previous basic templates don't allow for this, but as someone that is not all that email marketing savvy, I'm still keen on using a basic template, but hopefully having this option. Will the new version allow us to insert pictures into our templates?Thanks. I couldn’t agree more. I think that Mailchimp is just genius.

I've just moved my mail email list off of campaigner last night and published using a monthly plan via mailchimp, worked great. And I upgraded to the AIM add-on and was pleasantly surprised that it worked retroactively on my previously sent email. you guys are the top banana. by the way, mailchimp rocks.

So my question now is what is the advantages of that, obviously its simpler since its all in one place. What are the disadvantages? Because although I've already got this process I might be looking to create other blogs to go with other campaigns and I'm curious about this option.
