If you plan to use BlauMail right out of the box, use the files from the ​
3-HTML ​
folder. These
files are already prepared for delivery, with all the styles nitely placed inline.

Just upload the image assets to your server and link them up in the templates.

<a href="#"><img src="​


http://yourdomain/images/email_logo.png​
" width="164"
height="20" alt=""/></a>

Use the ​
email_summary ​
section at the start of each file to write a short summary of your
email. This doesn’t show up in the template, but it’s a good feature for clients that support
preview areas (e.g. Gmail).

<div class="​
email_summary​
">This is to confirm your recent order.</div>

For custom work start with the files from the ​


2-Source ​
folder. Use the external linked
style.css​
file to quickly preview updates across templates.

Once done, remove the external link and embed the stylesheet internally (copy/paste).
<link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">

<style type="text/css">

</style>

</head>

Run the code through the ​


Mailchimp’s CSS Inliner Tool​
to get the styles inline. Your template is
now ready to be sent out! :)
