Add a subscription widget or plugin to Misty Lake blog.
-
Misty Lake works well as my theme, but I’m wondering if there’s a widget or plugin that prominently positions a subscription “button” on the right side of all pages or even just on the blog posting page.
Also, checking the dashboard, there doesn’t see to be a way to add widgets or plugins that didn’t come with Misty Lake. Can I do that, and if so, how? I’m not highly tech savvy, so please use little words and hand puppets to explain. Thanks, Community!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
