But how did the box get there? Well this is the one case where you'll need to wade through some simple code. Actually, some editors allow you to paste your HTML code directly into the WYSIWYG window, and the program will convert this to a visual element. However, you're better off knowing how to look under the hood and do this the old fashioned way. So, we'll go back into our editor for a moment...
...and select the HTML Source tab. This will switch our workspace window over so that
we can view the code and find a place to paste our opt-in box code.
Note: Here's a quick tip to save your sanity - You can place your opt-in box anywhere,
however I recommend placing it either somewhere in the middle of the page or close to
the end of the page and between pieces of text within a paragraph.
This will make life much easier for you because all you'll have to do is select "Edit - Find
and Replace" from the program menu and enter in the last phrase of the paragraph in
the area where you want to place your opt-in box.
The text before the opt-in box on this example page is "quickly and easily...". Notice how
the program automatically jumped down to the proper location, and we've pasted the
code just beneath that:
All opt-in boxes are created in HTML through what's known as a "Form". Your code will
always begin with the <form> tag and end with the <;/form> tag.
That's it! Save your work and prepare to edit your page.
