How to customize the FeedBurner Email Subscription Form?
Here is the code for the FeedBurner Email Subscription Form:<form style=”border:1px solid #ccc;padding:3px;text-align:center;” action=”http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify” method=”post” target=”popupwindow” onsubmit=”window.open(‘http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=DipInIt’, ‘popupwindow’, ‘scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520′);return true”><p>Enter your email address:</p><p><input type=”text” style=”width:140px” name=”email”/></p><input type=”hidden” value=”DipInIt” name=”uri”/><input type=”hidden” name=”loc” value=”en_US”/><input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” /><p>Delivered by <a href=”http://feedburner.google.com” target=”_blank”>FeedBurner</a></p></form>
- The number in Red represents the width of the text box where the email need to be written. So changing it makes the textbox bigger or smaller
- The text in Blue represents the text that appears on the button. Instead of Subscribe you can write Submit or Sign Up, so it’s up to you.
- The piece of code that is Green highlighted represents the text and the url that stands under the text box Delivered by FeedBurner, so if you want to remove that text just delete that piece of code.
- If you want to add a picture inside the Feedburner Email Subscription Form just add the following code right before <p>Enter your email address:</p> which will set the picture above the Enter your email adress text, or if you want at the bottom just paste the code right before the </form>.
