Hi!
I am a new user to wordpress.com and am trying to add a box that allows people to sign up to be on my email list. Can anyone help? I tried inserting [contact-form] into a post, as I saw mentioned, but that did not work...
Thanks!!!
Kate

Could you be more specific about how the contact form failed?
-
Nothing showed up-- it just appeared exactly as I wrote it.
But I would like it to create a box that people can type their email address into, and I receive a list of these addresses so that I can send out email updates about music shows.
-
I wrote the code directly into my post-- I use wordpress.com. Was that correct, or was there some other place that the code needs to be written?
-
Did you add it to the Visual editor or the HTML editor? Whichever you used, try clicking the tab for the other and using that.
-
Oh, I didn't know there were two kinds of editors! Yes, it created the box when I changed to html editor, thanks!
How do I view the email addresses/info that is submitted?
-
Also, is there anyway to create a small box that is just for email addresses in wordpress.com (instead of the giant comment box)?
-
The messages left in the contact box will be emailed to you. There is no way to create a smaller box.
-
I see that the email addresses and comments get emailed to my address- so that is all figured out!
But I am still wondering if there is a way to just have a small box for email addresses rather than the giant comment box.
Thanks!

Oh, OK- thanks for your help!

As you are a new user and your blog is set to "private" I want to be sure that you understand that wordpress.com blogs are non-commercial blogs. No advertising can be posted on them and the TOS also states they cannot be used to drive traffic to third party sites.
