How to add a MailChimp signup form to your Yola website
Take these steps to add your MailChimp signup form to your blog.
- First you'll need to grab the embed code for your signup form in MailChimp. Go to your Lists tab and click the forms link on the list for which you'd like to grab the embed code.
access your forms - You'll now see your signup form. Under both the build it and design it tabs you'll see a link to "create embed code for small form". Click this link.
create embed code - Next you'll be able to choose some preferences to create your small signup form and embed code. One important option to note is that you can set a specific form width. You may find that your signup form looks better on your web site if you define a specific width for it, like 180 pixels. You may also find that your signup form works fine without specifying any set form width.

Whenever you make a change to the form in the right-hand column, be sure to click the "create embed code" button again. - When adding your signup form to a Yola account, you'll want to make sure you disable all JavaScript.
