Since the Network Home Page doesn't include a sidebar, you'll need to use alternative placement options for your newsletter signup. Here are three effective ways to add newsletter collection to your site:
Navigation Bar Integration
The simplest approach is adding your newsletter signup directly to your navigation bar:
First, enable email collection by going to Connect > Build a mailing list and turning on email collection (either through Podpage or your own custom code)
Navigate to Design > Navigation Bar
Toggle the Newsletter option to "on"
Your newsletter signup will now appear in your site's navigation bar
Custom Home Page Section
For more prominent placement, you can embed a newsletter form directly on your home page:
Go to Pages > Home > Edit Page
Locate one of the Custom Content sections
Click the "..." menu button, then select the "<>" (code) button
Embed your newsletter form code
The signup form will now display on your front page
Dedicated Newsletter Page
Once you've enabled the newsletter feature, Podpage automatically creates a dedicated newsletter page:
The page is accessible at
/newsletter(simply add/newsletterto your Network Home Page URL)This gives you a standalone page for newsletter signups that you can link to from anywhere on your site
Getting Started
Remember, all these options require first enabling email collection under Connect > Build a mailing list. Once that's configured, you can choose the placement method that best fits your site's design and user experience goals.
