Hi Brad:

I have a quick question about the email field/button in your header. I'm interested in adding that function to my band's Wordpress-based (and widget-ready-themed) site, and haven't been able to manage it.

I had been thinking I wanted to try to place it in a sidebar widget, but it looks pretty dope where you've got it in the header - can you give a quick explanation as to how you did it, or maybe point me in the direction of a relevant reference?

I'm using the Mandigo theme

(http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/1378/mandigo-14/#comment-162298)

and though I'm not exactly a coder (I'm a guitar player after all!), I can usually figure web stuff out if I stare at it long enough.

Thanks! ~ Mike

Hey Mike. I don't know how it would be for your specific theme, but for mine all I did was edit header.php in the theme directory and add this under the header/title image:

<div style=\\"float: right; padding-top: 55px; padding-right: 20px;\\">
     <p class=\\"subscribe\\"><strong>Enter your email address to find outwhen there's new Brad Sucks stuff</strong>

     <form style=\\"margin: 0; padding: 0\\" method=\\"POST\\" action=\\"http://www.bradsucks.net/lists/bradsucks/process.php\\">
     <input type=\\"text\\" name=\\"address\\" class=\\"subscribeinput\\" size=\\"19\\">
     <input type=\\"submit\\" class=\\"subscribebutton\\"  value=\\"subscribe\\" name=\\"submit\\">
     </form>

</div>

Let me know how it goes...
