This is not something new, and is not something complicated to make. This subcribe via email form can be used to facilitate the readers to get posts/articles of sites they love as they will be noticed via email just everytime a new post is published by sites they subcribed so they won't miss any posts to read. This service is powered by feedburner, http:// feeds. feedburner.com/, which is part of google. For bloggers there are two options to choose to add this service to the site, the first is by adding a new gadget through the gadget page and the second is by adding it through the official site. To add through the gadget page is simplier but you won't have any option to choose to display it on your site, while through the official site you'll be opted out if to display it as a anchor link or a complete form. Even you are permited to modify the view of this gadget as you'll be given the code to add it to your site manually.

Let's Go Everybody

To Add It Through The Gadget Page, You Can Make The Following Way

1. Go to your blogger dashboard.
2. Go to design page.
3. Click on element "Add Gadget" where you want to place the subscription form.
