  Currently I use the subscribe and RSS widgets and it just takes up more space than i’d like it to. So i’ve created a custom menu with links for the RSS feed which was easy but how do i go about creating a link to add the subscription?

  I took a look at the button source… which is as follows..

  <form action=”http://subscribe.wordpress.com” method=”post” accept-charset=”utf-8″ id=”subscribe-blog”>
  <p>Click to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.</p>

  <input type=”hidden” name=”action” value=”subscribe”/>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”blog_id” value=”12000032″/>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”source” value=”http://jrich523.wordpress.com/”/>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”sub-type” value=”widget”/>

  <input type=”hidden” id=”_wpnonce” name=”_wpnonce” value=”cc390ce69c” /><input type=”hidden” name=”_wp_http_referer” value=”/” />
  <p><input type=”submit” value=”Sign me up!” /></p>
  </form>

  I tried to create a link like so

  Status

  but, i cant get it to work.

  any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks
