simple subscribe to mailing list button help

[epic]

I have dada mail for a mailing list i'm setting up. don't like their subscription form at all. already had a button and form in my template for a simple enter you email and press subscribe to join mailing list. but i need it to actually send the email address to my mailing list. I'm been searching for hours there is nothing with this simple task anywhere.

Don't know much about coding for web anymore. but i took visual basic and c++ in highschool. i can grasp the concepts easily if i could just find some basic code to follow.

between using reasoning to figure out how it should work and searching for "change submit button" in 500 variations i finally got it.

All I had to do was rewrite the form a little bit. change the submit button from the normal
input type = "submit"... to
input type="image" and add the src for the image

but since the form dadamail supplies has radio buttons for subscribe/unsubcribe i wasn't sure what to do there so i deleted the unsubscribe button completely and on the subscribe button i changed the value of input type to hidden since i'm not sure if that is necessary for dadamail to route wether the email is subscribing or unsubscribing.

so now right after the input field i have
input type="hidden" name="f" id="f_s" value="subscribe" checked="checked"

then the adjusted submit button with my image.

tested. works great. now i just have to get it from the test html i wrote to the template without throwing all the tables/etc.. off.
