width:130px;
color:#666;}
</style>
<div class="hl-email">
Subscribe via Email <form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" id="feedform" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=helplogger', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,true">
<input gtbfieldid="3" class="textarea" name="email" onblur="if (this.value == "") {this.value = "Enter email address here";}" onfocus="if (this.value == "Enter email address here") {this.value = "";}" value="Enter email address here" type="text" />
<input type="hidden" value="helplogger" name="uri"/><input type="hidden" name="loc" value="en_US"/>
<input class="hl-emailsubmit" value="Submit" type="submit" />
</form>
</div>
Settings - Replace the url address in green to change the email icon
- To change the width or the text area, increase/decrease the
130px value in red
- replace
http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=helplogger with your Feedburner Email Feed link. You can get it by visiting your feedburner account then navigate to "Publicize" and then to "Email Subscriptions".
- Replace
helplogger with your feed title. It appears at the end of your feed link. In my case it is http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=helplogger
4. Now
Save your widget and check your blog. Enjoy!
