I know that this is a straight e-commerce theme but is there any chance of getting a newsletter signup widget that can be inserted into the top search widget area? Here is an example of where I'm going with this: http://drjuliedurnan.com/

You can use e.g. Wysija plugin, after configuration you can insert wysija widget to search position.

Thats cool but I use constant contact to send newsletters and manage my clients. Usually, my newsletter signup widgets contain an email field followed by a submit button that onSubmit forwards that email (via a specified URL in the widget) to a new browser page that takes them to constantcontact.com and loads a constant contact page form that then asks them for a first/last name. They complete the form and then constant contact manages the rest. I already have thousands of subscribers with constant contact and I don't want to lose them but I could use constant contact as an SMTP provider.

Is there a way that wysijia can work with constant contact or can you recommend a simple widget that just forwards the provided email on to constant contact?

Thanks,

Joseph

cool. thanks. i did infall the constant contact plugin but it crashes my database every time i click on the "contacts" link in their panel. WP panels hangs for a few minutes and returns the error " can't connect to data base". It knocks out my database password so that i can't even open up my website. I then have to reset the password on my database to get WP to work again. What a POS that plugin is.

What would be helpful is if you could give me the CSS code to position the "search widget" to the right and under the top menu (right align). More helpful for my design. see ref:

It's a work in progress so please ignore the flaws. I'm trying to get that opening slide image to work for me. I would like to put a newsletter signup widget to the right and under the top-right menu. The search on top is cool but doesn't really work as a newsletter widget. wrong place for it.

Thanks again,

Joseph
