Creating a form to link to Acajoom

Acajoom is a popular Newsletter extension for Joomla! that will allow you to create subscriber lists and send out newsletters. It comes in several versions; here we will be working with the free version that you can download from http://www.ijoobi.com/.

Getting ready

You will need to have Acajoom installed, with at least one List set up, and the Acajoom subscriber module published and visible (the default setting is 'Menus: none' so you'll need to change it).
