Just before everything went offline over the weekend, i had posted asking if there was any gadget etc I could use to put a page on mt site for people to subscribe for email updates.
The answer I got was that it had to be done by a third party so I knocked up a page myself using Open Office and tried to post it for people to assess.
However, the post doesn't open when I click on the new post conformation in my email folders so it looks like it's been lost.

As it stands though I have found a superb alternative.
I did a bit of searching for a free account and found Cognito Forms.
Fantastic. Basic with options to upgrade but I don't need anything fancy,

Just thought I'd post so that others needing similar can find it.
