Show Feedburner Counter / Allow Sign ups?

    I see a lot of blogs with the "Subscribe to my feed" where you type in your email, and hit go and then it sends them to your feedburner. Is there a widget/plugin for this? I would like to do this on my blog.

    I know this is a newbie question, I have traffic and a normal set of readers. I just figured i should capitalize on this like other blogs are doing. I didn't see anything I could use directly on feedburner's site.

    I have the EXACT same question. I was afraid to ask it because I thought I was the only one!

    I signed up on feedburner, then downloaded the FeedBurner FeedSmith pluging thinking that would work... but no success. I see it on all sorts of blogs and so I figured it would be an easy job... ugh. I fiddled for a good hour last night trying to get it to work on my new blog.

    I would love a plugin that would do all this automatically.

    Thank you for asking this question :)

    Ok, so I figured it out. It's quite simple and just required opening my eyes and actually looking.

    Basically, go to your feed in feedburner. Find the "Publicize" tab and click it. Next, find the "Email Subscriptions" link the left sidebar (the 4th choice from the top). This will give you the code which you can copy and paste into your sidebar, and change to your liking.

    If you still need help with this oyu can shoot me a PM and I'll try to walk you through it :)
