    Hi all,

    I have setup my Wordpress blog and I have been looking for a while for a RSS subscription with twitter facebook and email plugin for the sidebar? Unfortunately I haven't found it yet, perhaps you can suggest me.

    I am looking for a plugin that shows up on the right sidebar that looks like the following: http://www.businessinsider.com/sai. See the "sign up today.." rectangular? And here another example:
    http://mashable.com/. See the "Join the 2.6 Million people following.."

    Thanks in advance!

    PS. untill now I've found the following plugins: AddToAny, AddThis Sidebar Widget, subscribe me widget. Although non of these are giving a similar look of the layout of my examples.

    The email form is just an HTML form with a background image, you can get one similar to it at Feedburner, but then you would need to adjust the CSS to get the look that you want, and the Social Buttons can be found online for free in various styles, and they are just linked images. You would need to size them to get the proper dimensions.

    I don't know of an "All In One" plug in that looks like that with all of the options that you can just drop into the sidebar.
    You have to build it in a text box and then drop it.

    The Mashable one looks like it was built the same way, just some text, and a few social icons with a link that goes to another page.

    For my clients, I use an HTML editor or Notepad to build the code for my social media layout -- however the client wants it setup. Then I paste the resulting code into a widget for the sidebar.
