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…

Hey Brad:

thanks for your help on this! My coder buddy came home from vacation and handled this in hurry, so everything’s cool. Just didn’t want to leave your email unresponded to. Thanks ~ mike
