I recently noted the amount of subscriber's count has increased by a small margin in my blog because of the inclusion of an email subscription form below each of my blogger posts. So, I thought why not help other bloggers also to put a form like mine in their blogs and improve their subscriber's count too. So, this post basically features how to add an email subscription form below every blogger post. Moreover, you can add some interesting text like the one seen in my blog that will attract a lot of readers.
Simply, it is a modified or customized email subscription form that will help your reader's subscribe to your blog easily rather than searching where the subscribe icon is in your blog. I think it is enough of explaining about this stuff because everything is explained clearly in that picture above. That will be the final output after making the changes in our HTML code.
Let me straight away list out the steps in including this widget to your blog.

Let me straight away list out the steps in including this widget to your blog.
1. As always, you need to back up your template before making any changes in the code. Navigate to "Layout>>Edit HTML" from your dashboard and download the template there.
2. Now, expand your template, that is, make sure you have a tick mark in that "Expand Widget Template". Now, do a search using "CTRL+F" for the following line:3. Download this Text Document. Open the text file and insert the following piece of code in it just after the above line.
4. Change the feed name ("EverythingAboutBlogging" to YOUR BLOG FEED NAME) from my feeds to your feed. You need to find that from FeedBurner's Email Subscription Form which is self explanatory.
5. Preview your template to check for any error in code. If you find errors, then redo the steps again from the first else save your template. If you have any problem in downloading the file or with the code, then please leave a comment.

This is a good idea and many bloggers see a difference --- even 'small' is good! I tried it months ago but did not see any increase. Then I put both RSS and email subscription options at the top of my blog (above the fold). Of course you can say more to convince them at the end of the post! So I also manually type text on some posts, begging (I mean encouraging) signup! Whatever works.
REPLY@SBA: But, I think it will be better you put a subscription form below every post. It makes the reader subscribe easily to your blog. It is never going to affect your blog in any way. So include them!!!
REPLYThank you so much for this widget. it is almost exactly what i was looking for. i've added this to my posts. i have also tweaked it a bit and added this to my sidebar.
REPLYthanks
i was looking for such thing to add bellow post..
REPLYthanks...
Sure!! Add it and let me know if you have any problems! Hope you enjoy the widget and you are able to increase your subscriber's count!!
REPLYhow do I remove this subscribe form from my home page. How to make it appear only at corresponding page only.Help visit at http://tashiwangdi.blogspot.com/
REPLYHi Mukund,
REPLYI have just applied it in my blog and it works great. Well done! Just one flaw I can see, as both of us have a read more script, therefore we cannot apply it in our footer. This will hence, make the forms all over our homepage. Do you think you can modify the html so that it only works in our full post instead of homepage?
Thanks in advance.
Oh I have figured it out. Just post it below your read more script. Then you do not need to always put the form codes below your post nor put that in the template.
REPLYThanks
@Frankenstein Creative Inc.: Just follow the instructions given in the post and you will see the form appearing only in individual pages of your blog. If not working, try placing it below the "post body" section. Hope you got me. Still if you face problems, contact me personally via Email(Visit the contact me page) and I will hep you fix the problem!!
REPLY@∂αηιєℓ: Yes!! You are right! I have done the same thing as you said.
REPLYhi i am not getting this hack ...i tried for two times ...
REPLYcant find ...dono where to paste
div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1
Please let me know in which blog of yours, you face this problem? You may try placing it below the "post body" section, that is , search for "data:post.body/" and paste it below it!!!

REPLYSimilar to daniel/Frankenstein comments below, I am seeing the subscription form showing up all over the main frontpage as I also use a read more script that is built into blogger.. so can you tell me where in the html I should paste this code?
