  Hello, I am trying to build a landing page with a subscribe button and found the blog subscription shortcode–great idea! It works, but I do not like the standard verbiage. Is there a way to customize/adjust this shortcode like several of the others? I’ve been playing around with this for days, I have even tried creating html code from scratch to produce a follow button with no success (button won’t show).

  <form name=”test” action=”https://subscribe.wordpress.com” method=”post” accept-charset=”utf-8″ id=”subscribe-blog”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”action” value=”subscribe”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”blog_id” value=”56105938″/>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”source” value=”https://seekopenskies.wordpress.com/?page_id=11564&preview=true&preview_id=11564″>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”sub-type” value=”widget”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_fragment” value=”>
  <input type=”hidden” id=”_wpnonce” name=”_wpnonce” value=”ac64048cd5″>
  <input type=”submit” value=”Follow”>
  </form>

  Any help on manipulating the shortcode or generating an html follow button from scratch is greatly appreciated! Shortcode is handy, I just want to personalize it. Thanks!
