While googling
for awesome opt-in-forms yesterday, I stumbled on an attractive Feedburner Email Subscription Form. I copied its code from the blog post
, made some changes to the code and embedded it on the sidebar of my blog. I’m loving it and I decided to share it with you.
You can place the Feedburner Email Subscription Form on the sidebar of your Blogger and WordPress blogs. All you need to do is to edit the code below, copy and paste it in HTML/Javascript gadget of a Blogger blog or Text widget of a WordPress blog.

<div id=”Subscription”>
<div class=”heading”>

<input name=”email” placeholder=”Your Email” type=”text” /><input name=”uri” type=”hidden” value=” SecretInfos-Ogbongeblog ” /><input name=”loc” type=”hidden” value=”en_US” /><input class=”button” type=”submit” value=”Sign Up Now!” />

You can customize as desired if you have basic knowledge of html and css.
If your template is responsive, you might have to replace the highlighted “ 200px ” height with “ auto ” (if the sign up button drops below the form). Same as the width. Just play with it till it gives you desired result.
Ensure you carefully REPLACE the “ secretinfos-ogbongeblog ” in the code with your blog feedburner ID. You can get it via feedburner.com. Click on your feed, then click on “edit feed details”. It will be displayed as seen in the screenshot below:
