      I host my own Wordpress blog...does this mean that the little floating subscribe here box that I was hoping to get out of my Get Response software won't work?

      I tried installing the coding in my CSS the other day, but couldn't get it to work, but I thought perhaps I put it in the wrong place.....

        It will work

        Just go to design, themes, edit themes, pick the index.php file (or home.php if you have that), scroll down a little and paste your code before this line:

        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

        It will show your optin box right above the very first post.

        (Of course, do a backup in case this operation fails )

        Hope it helps,

      Yes you can

      Wordpress is free and opensource and you can do whatever you want with it.

          you can also put in in the sidebar - if it is widget ready - then you add a text box, save it, then add the code to the text box & save again.

          I have one on my site - hang on - I just looked & it's gone! I upgraded the wordpress version & I think that's the prob.

          but anyway you still can - I just have to go fix mine now.

    I think you can add it on blogger, why not try ?
    Anyway for $50 per year you can have domain and hosting.

    It doesn't matter if it's hosted on your server or not. I checked few days ago with blogger and I was able to post HTML in. So yes, that's possible for free hosted platforms.

    As for the placing, you can include it both as post-header or widget, you just have to know what you want
