How to add Mailchimp to existing signup box - mailchimp

I'm very new to Mailchimp. I would like to add mailchimp to existing PHP based signup form. I don't want to use the forms from Mailchimp. I've searched on Google but didn't find any solution yet. How can I do that?

I just wrote a short tutorial to help anyone facing this issue. Please check it here: http://www.sunarlim.com/2014/04/mailchimp-sign-form-php-jquery-ajax/
MailChimp APIs are actually very easy to understand and they provide massive list of references and their own libraries to help developers to implement.

Implementing recaptcha on Github pages without php?

Absolute newb here, please forgive me for this basic question.
I have built my portfolio site using Github pages, but am experiencing spam via my contact form (hosted by GetSimpleForm). I am trying to implement Google reCAPTCHA, but I'm a bit stuck in the backend part. As I understand, Github pages don't support PHP, so I can not actually complete the form verification.
Google documentation here was unfortunately a bit overwhelming and cryptic to me as a beginner, since I just stared at my Github html/css/js files and had no clue what to put where.
Am I trying to do the impossible? Is it possible to use reCaptcha on Github pages? If so, is there a beginner friendly tutorial somewhere or a straightforward "copy-paste" thing I could use? (so far, it's not been clear where to use the secret key from the API key pair for example)
Thanks a bunch for any leads or alternative solutions for spam prevention that would work in Github pages!
The short answer is you cannot. Github Pages only support static site. You have to host your own website if you want to do some complex stuffs like backend check etc. and mostly they are not free.
The only suggestion I can come up is simply change your contact form to regular html form instead of hosting by the 3rd party website you are using. I suspect that the main reason you got spam is because you are using it's service.
A really simple way to do it is to make the form with HTML (you can either copy the code from a pre-made HTML site with a form, or find a youtube tutorial that shows you how to make a HTML form, pretty simple), and host it on something like Netlify. Netlify is free for static websites unless you are doing something really complicated, and it has a built in form submission that will send you an email automatically every time someone fills out the form. You don't need PHP or a third party app or anything.
You still create and edit the code of the website through Github, you just need to connect it to Netlify for the forms. I'm a complete beginner and I figured it out. Netfly has some tutorials that explain it nice and simple. No reason to pay or do a lot of complicated stuff, and you can make professional websites with just HTML and CSS.

MailChimp API V3 Dynamic content

I am investigating the possibilities of MailChimp for mailings. One of the requirements we are looking for is to add dynamic content to a campaign.
According to some SO questions
Looking to give MailChimp dynamic content?
Mailchimp API not replacing mc:edit content sections (using ruby library)
this should be possible in V2 of the API. In their own documentation https://templates.mailchimp.com/getting-started/template-language/ MailChimps describes the possibilities for dynamic content.
However, I am unable to see how to edit a mc:edit element using the current V3 API.
The Playground page on their site doesn't reveal any clues either.
Does anyone has experience with this matter?
Thank you!

Google Review on my Website

I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to feed google reviews into my website? I would like it to be kinda of a testimonial type page. Or if i could feed it with a slider reviews that would be really awesome. Any ideas?
I recently needed to get reviews as well for a similar application, so I created a jQuery plugin that will fetch ALL the reviews and allows for options to be passed in for filtering.
google-places jQuery Plugin
This question is kind of old but maybe it will help someone else
The Google Places API now supports the return of up to five reviews from a Place Details Request.

Email subscription/unsubscribing extension for joomla

I need a simple extension which will simply collect email id's from users who want to hear discount offers from me and also allows anybody to unsubscribe from the mailing list.
Which will be the simple and best one for Joomla 1.5?
I used the following components: Communicator, JNews and AcaJoom
They are all very easy to use. All of them are provided with component for admin, subscribtion module and plugin to integrate subscribtion form into a article. The most simple is Communicator. I used it more often then others
I hope it is helpfull.
I am using AcyMailing, and would say works perfect. You can create different lists, and export users easily. It supports Joomla 1.5 as well.
