As per question really, if anyone would be so kind as to share what they use to good effect? There are plenty to choose from but I have never really used one before. I am assuming a plugin in some form of widget that I could put on the sidebar of a page?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated

    Hi Alan -

    I don't use a plugin or widget from Wordpress to collect email addys unless it is connected to a specific autoresponder company - like Aweber or Get Response. Otherwise, what can you do with the emails? Most companies do not let you automatically import email without a double optin and you can't mass mail from your personal server without getting squashed.

    Maybe you are collecting for another reason that isn't obvious to me at the moment?

    I used Wysija for a while and I think it is exactly what you are looking for. It is free and works well, but if you are serious about collecting emails I would highly recommend that you use a paid service like aweber or getresponse.

    These services give you a lot more control and give you better delivery rates. It is worth the extra cost. Once I upgraded to aweber I never looked back.

    Hi, thanks for the replies.

    As I said I haven't done this before, and thought it would be a good idea to get the webpage set up with a box, then write the report (as I doubt it will get many emails right away so I could write the report over the next couple of days). I assumed that aweber or similar would simply offer a bit of code that goes into the admin of wordpress via a plug in, similar to analytics......I did not know that aweber offer the actual structure of the box to put on the page!!!

    Many thanks for that, doh!

    Use a text widget, and embed the AWeber code for the opt-in box (or GetResponse if you prefer)
