Hello guys I'm helping you can help me out. I looking for a new theme for my current wordpress blog, but I'm looking for one that can do something specific. I would like to have a video optin form underneath my header. Something like this

VincentOrtegaJr.Com - Using Our Divine Gifts To Empower The World!
Jackie Kay Anderson - Awaken Your Full Potential

That is a custom widget they are using. I know because they are selling pre-made blogs for $297. (MyBlogIsAt.Com - Custom Designed, Professional Blogs, Grow Your Business. -)

The thing is I would purchase from them to have a custom blog made, but I like hosting my own blog with my own hosting account. Plus the monthly fee I pay is cheaper anyway.

However I still like that optin form they have, so I was wondering if you guys know any wordpress themes that offer something similar?

I found one called FlexSqueeze but I didnt really like how there blogs looked. I guess i could customize there themes more to fit my style, but still I would like to hear any other suggestions any of you guys might have.

    First off, you can make any theme like FlexSqueeze or Optimizepress or Genesis look any way you want. I have both Optimizepress and a couple Genesis themes. I also have Pagelines, but Pagelines isn't real easy to use.

    So if you want to pay $297 for the theme that you saw you can, but check out Optimizepress, Genesis, Thesis, and Pagelines. Hope that helps.

    Create a child theme using your preferred theme, and add a class similar to the optin-wrapper used on VincentOrtegaJr.Com right after the header on the home page or any other pages of posts where you want the opt-in to appear.

    ...Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just set there.

      The beauty about the FlexsQueeze theme is that you can make it look anyway you want. I have several blogs and they all look different.

      FlexSqueeze has an option to place a widget under the header. You should be able to place what you want there

      If you don't want to change your theme, go with a plugin like:

      OptimizePress Plugin - builds awesome landing pages, separate from your theme or inside it as well, great opt ins etc., widget builder for the pages.

      Authority Pro 3 - WITH CAUTION - This is an amazing landing page builder... unfortunately it doesn't play well with sites using BuddyPress, I first notified the developer of this issue 9 months ago, they still have yet to address it. I even contacted them this last week and they act like it is no big deal their plugin fouls up BuddyPress Activity Stream Posting. So if you don't care about BuddyPress, this would be a viable option, unfortunately for myself, I simply can't use it as I NEED BP.

      There are also several plugins that just build opt-in forms you can insert into your pages, WP Opt-ins is one,

      Some more:

      Magic Action Box
      OptinMonster
      OptinSkin
      Uber Optin Page
      WP Optin Pro

      I'm sure there are some more out there, but these should get you started.

    You can have it designed and then install it directly at the "editor">header.php section.
