Author HTML Newsletter

I am using MailChimp.com to send a bluk email newsletter. Now when i paste the
HTML code in the correct section and "Pop up preview" it, it doesn't look like
it did in dreamweaver and the pictures dont come up.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

And does anyone know how to send a HTML newsletter without using this
MailChimp program?

Thanxs in advanced! :)

Make your picture links absolute references to the image on your webspace.

Put your CSS either inline, or between <body> and </body>

Compile your email list and write your own emailer.

If you're images are in a folder called "photos" on your server, use something
like this:

<img src="photos/image1.jpg" alt="Image 1">

No - that's not right.

The links to images and other pages if there are any should look like this -

<img src="http://www.example.com/images/whatever.gif"...

That's where you are missing the point. The links must go to images on
webspace somewhere. You do not somehow "embed" these images in the
newsletter.

Post a link to your newsletter page, please.

No i understand that i am not embeding them... i just dont know where to put the <img src=.......> Do i put it in the src box? or the link box? or somewhere else?

thanxs :)

You put it in the page's code, e.g.,

<body>
<p><img src="whatever.gif"...></p>
</body>

It seems like you are trying to do this with no knowledge of HTML. That's
like running with scissors.
