This is a great plugin - no problems regarding functionality for me.
My only question is regarding the look of the form - is there any way to style it? I’m most interested in resizing the box (or removing the border) that’s generated, so that it’s not as wide as my page. Also, I figured out how to display the subscribe/unsubscribe buttons below the email blank, but I’m not seeing how to center them now. Is there something I’m missing?

I admit that when I wrote this plugin I was still a little ‘green’ and am afraid to say I didn’t put classes in for styling. if you can wait just a few, short days, I’ll correct that. I need to make a small change or two anyway so this will be the excuse I need.
Else, of course, feel free to have a hack at the code!

I’m a little afraid to mucking about in it myself - my coding knowledge falls well short of whatever language you’ve used for the plugin.
I’m in no hurry, though, and can wait a few (or more) days if it’s something you can do.
Thanks so much for the great plugins!

No problem. As I say it needs a couple of things doing to it - I’ll try and get on it by the end of the weekend

I have released a 2.1.1 version (now both WP2.0 and 2.1) that has a stylesheet attached for you to play with. Hope this manages to do what you needed. Also added is a small spam bot detector to try and stampt out spambot signups.
Please read the 'readme' carefully as it now resides in a different place.

Um…
Can you repost the link? When I click on "Page Update Notification" under Plugins on your sidebar, I'm taken to the front page of your blog. Not that that's a bad thing, but I already ready read that post.

I am still having some issues with styling. It appears you used tables for formatting purposes…
Tell me it ain’t so, Andy!!!

Hello Sam - been a long time. I have seen your curious comment (the asterisk)?
Yes I used tables. I hang my head in shame! No I don’t. There’s nothing wrong with tables as such - I know the argument, tables are for data, but let’s be honest here it is a common way of presenting forms because the natural layouts of form controls is so damn awful. And I have had a lot of trouble in other plugins using divs in the post content area. So sorry but yes. I used a table.
Tell me what you need and I am sure I can accommodate it….

The asterix was my reference to one of the drawings Vonnegut presented in Breakfast of Champions ;’)
As to the tables, I added it to my to-do list. Specifically (and without starting any table-wars ;’) the problem I see with it is that I cannot apply styles to it (positioniing/alignment).
I mean; The first thing I did after configuring and activating was hit the CSS/Edit CSS in my Dev bar and found my positioning/alignment changes were being ‘ignored’.

Breakfast of Champions… my goodness that one I haven’t read for some years. And years! Sorry to miss it.
You can’t style the table? What have I missed out in the way of classes? Or do you just want me to change this to a div and then go and stand in the corner? Seriously… it was a table for a long time and to be honest, I didn’t really give much thought to changng it but I can…..
(By the way - this whole forum is nothing but tables. Well on the whole anyway. Tables in divs and divs in tables….)

Appears that is getting wrapped in paragraph tags. Have you noticed that?
(So you end up with block elements inside inline elements).
edit- Using a div fixes that, e.g.;

WordPress wraps EVERYTHING in paragraph tags! I must admit I hadn’t noticed. I’ll see if I can get rid of them…
