Very Basic question about getting an email "subscribe" button for Wordpress

[salvorhardin]

4. It uses the WordPress.com email subscription service

The subscriber gets a confirmation email. After they click the confirm button (or link if they have images turned off), they can set delivery options at Wordpress.com. It's the exact same service as WordPress.com bloggers have access to. It's using WordPress' email so you don't have to worry about your blog being used to send spam.

I assume you added the blog subscription widget to one of your sidebars? If so, you can configure the widget, as well as change the order in which it appears by dragging and dropping.

You may have missed the link to the documentation. http://jetpack.me/2011/11/29/how-to-use-email-subscriptions-in-jetpack-1-2


If you want to change how it looks, they you can create some custom css in your theme's style.css for the jetpack_subscription_widget parent class. You may have to use the !important declaration since I think that widget has some inline CSS you'll want to override.

If you need help with CSS just google. There are a lot of tutorials out there.

Hope that helps.
