    Does your autoresponder have anything that you can use? I just use the form that I made on my autoresponder and set it as a widget. Is that the type of thing you're looking for?

    I'd seriously consider Optimizepress or something similar.

    You only get one shot at life - make it awesome.

    Everyone else also gets just one crack at it - help make theirs awesome too... or, politely step out of their way.

    I am using a free lightbox popup plugin, and it is great, you can check the effect here .

    You can add form codes of auto responder easily, and it doesn't matter what auto responder you use.

    Give an example of the type of opt in forms you are trying to make. You can do a lot with your autoresponder options.

    If your autoresponder is aweber, there are some really cool opt in forms you could think about using. They can edited to suite your requirements plus easy to install to your wordpress site.

    I just picked OptinSkin for a serious discount as a WSO:

    If you use Aweber, you can customize your opt-in form nicely. No plugins needed.

      Yes and No. One of the most maddening things about the aWeber Form deigner (and GetReponse's as well, for some reason) is that the fields need to be lined up vertically and not horizontally.

      I don't understand this limitation and I certainly don't get why it is the same with GR. That is what drove me to check out OptinSkin.

        I don't see why you'd want horizontal fields in a sidebar anyway... How fat is your sidebar?

    In addition to the sidebar, I also want to have optins at the end of blog posts. If teh reader found the post interesting enough to read through the end, he/she will be more inclined to opt in.

      I'm with you - I just installed OptinSkin on my site! I was replying to Confined to Life as to why I wanted vertically aligned fields (that's what pushed me to OptinSkin)
