  IMO blogs are the best place for these kinds of debates ;)

  @mu
  The box for entering their email address is on a FeedBurner-hosted page. What you should have is merely an HTML link that takes them there. If you would like an example, feel free to click on my username (the subscription link is right under the calendar).

  Judy,

  Like your blog. Great use of the theme. I noted the subscribe box and understand what you are saying. Prior to moving from Movable Type, I had the same setup that I am querying in this thread.

  As an example please see: http://www.chrisg.com/subscribe/. What you see in the post is what I had in the my sidebar. Hope this makes sense.

  Mu,

  Thanks for the compliment. You won’t be able to do what you show with that link, because the code will stripped for security reasons.* We can’t use forms, iframes, javascript, or flash on our blogs here.

  Sorry :(

  *someone chime in if i have jumped to the wrong conclusion about the code being used, please.

  No you are correct. Way back at the very beginning and in the first response to this original post Mark pointed to the FAQs. What he meant was that way that was the only way that was available at wordpress.com wp-MU and somehow that got lost in ensuing debate.

  Mark, dirk, TT, Judy,

  Thank you for your inputs on this. I’ll [resolved] this thread now and stick with the link to subscribe.
