Allow email subscriptions to your website
You can choose between 2 styles:
1. Clickable Image
<a href="http://rssforward.net/rssfwd/powered_by" title="Click to subscribe for email updates"><img alt="Subscribe via RSS:Forward" src="http://rssforward.net/subscribe_via_rssforward.png" /></a>
Upon clicking on the icon, your readers will be lead to the RSS:Forward preview page, where they can subsequently subscribe. They'll be returned to your site after subscription
Just copy the HTML above and paste to your website - a nice little icon should appear on your page.
Note: To use this feature, your site has to support auto-discovery of feeds. Most blogging software supports it (e.g. Typo, Wordpress, Movable Type, Typepad )
2. Email Entry Form
<form action="http://rssforward.net/rssfwd/subscribe"> Email: <br /> <input type=text name=email /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Subscribe!" /> </form>
A simple form for readers to enter their email. Upon clicking on the icon, your readers will be subscribed to your feed and be returned to your site.
