How to connect MailChimp to the subscribe form

The instructions below are only for MailChimp.

  1. Click here for instructions on how to generate a form
  2. When you get to step #5, don't copy the entire code - look for <form action="form action link will be here"> (you may have to scroll a bit)
  3. Copy the form action link and go to your Blogger dashboard > Layout > open the "Newsletter" widget
  4. Replace FORM-LINK with the link you've copied from MailChimp

Test the form to make sure it works.


Form HTML

<form action="FORM-LINK" class="signup-form" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="email" name="EMAIL" placeholder="Email address" value="" required />
<input type="submit" value="Join" />
</form>

If you want the field and button to be stacked, use this code:

<form action="FORM-LINK" class="signup-form form-stacked" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="email" name="EMAIL" placeholder="Email address" value="" required />
<input type="submit" value="Join" />
</form>

If you want to add a First Name and Last Name fields, add these above or below the email field:

<input type="text" name="FNAME" placeholder="First name" value="" />
<input type="text" name="LNAME" placeholder="Last name" value="" />
