I want to make a newsletter template for mailchimp & campaign monitor ..
I know in newsletters we have to use table layout and inline styles and i have already done that in my template but i wonder if there are any specific rules i must follow to make my template valid for mailchimp & campaign monitor ?? or just use the following html for the both ??
This is my code :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" align="center" bgcolor="#ebebeb">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<table width="600px" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tbody>
<tr align="center">
<td style="padding:9px 18px;color:#696969;font-family:Arial,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;text-align:left;line-height:150%">

ahmed, this is Ros from Campaign Monitor here. One thing is writing HTML code, however if you want to use our email editor, you will need to use our template language to create editable areas in your template. Note that our template language differs from MailChimp's, so you will need to make two versions of your template.
If you're stuck on the code, I would highly recommend you create and export a template from our email builder.
Thanks, eng.ahmed - let us know if you have any other questions!
