Add your first newsletter to MailChimp

This tutorial is for those that have finished the set up with mailchimp. At this point the sign-up form is on your site and the signup incentive is being delivered automatically.

Now we’ll walk you through your first newsletter – MailChimp calls these “Campaigns”.

Note – this is NOT your automatic email that sends out your posts. (That is an RSS Campaign) This is the separate content that is your ‘newsletter’.
