Op-in – in call for action button

[Tove Cecilie Fasting]

Hi! So excited about the Live theme. I was hoping to be able to integrate the opt-in for my newsletter in the call to action button. How can I do this?
Thanks!

Thank you for your business first of all. Great idea. Would you like to use MailChimp or another service? If you’d like to use a different service, just post the embed code for the form you’d like to use and I’ll integrate it into the theme for you. I’ll post it back up here so you can use it.

Thanks again,
Bill

Thanks for sending over the embed code. Here’s what you’ll need to do to swap out the existing functionality for the sign up.

1. Go to the Appearance section and select edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose page-home.php. Replace all the code on the page with this:

3. Save your changes.
4. Next open up style.css and scroll down to the very bottom and paste this:

   
   
   #action-bar {
   	overflow: hidden;
   }
   
   .mc-field-group {
   	float: left;
   	margin-top: 4px;
   	margin-left: 10px;
   	width: 30%;
   }
   
   .mc-field-group input {
   	padding: 5px;
   	width: 70%;
   }
   
   #mc_embed_signup label {
   	color: #fff;
   }
   
   #action-bar .button {
   	float: right;
   	margin-right: 5px;
   	margin-top: 1px;
   }
   
   

5. Save your changes.

That should add in your sign up form. If you have questions or trouble, just let me know.

Thanks and have a great weekend,
Bill
