</form>
</div>
Settings
- Replace the url address in green to change the email icon
- Increase/Decrease the 130 width value for a wider text area
- Replace http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=helplogger with your Feedburner Email Feed link. You can get it by visiting your feedburner account then navigate to Publicize and then to Email Subscriptions.
- Replace helplogger with your feed title. It appears at the end of your feed link. In my case it is http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=helplogger
4. Now Save your widget and check your blog. Enjoy!
