I think I need to embed the code that I generate when I follow those instructions in to a widget.

How do I create a widget to embed the code in to?

And once I’ve created a widget and added the code for the sign up form, will the sign up form appear on every page on my site? Including blog posts?

If not, how can I make it appear on every page? And how do I make it also appear on every blog post?

I’m using a modified Twenty Eleven Child theme on this site: http://richardclunan.com/

  1. It’s not necessary to create a Widget, just enable the Shortcode capability to the default Text widget.

    Add this to the child theme’s functions.php: 

    add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

    Then you can proceed to create a Shortcode that will render the form.

    The appearance of the Widget in every page will depend on your theme’s implementation of get_sidebar() and its widgets areas. But much probably yes, it’ll appear everywhere. Does other widgets appear everywhere you want?
