This was a very helpful tutorial. However, when I get to the end of the process and get my code I am unable to get it to link to either a general form or a pop up form. I used the text widget and then went to the text tab to add code. My site just shows the code and not the form. I tried a Custom HTML widget which produced the same results. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

If you go to your widgets section in Wordpress, you can add the html code to your sidebar, or wherever else you would like to put it. I just add mine to my sidebar widget.

Thanks! Also I added it but when people subscribe they see my physical address, is there a way to remove that?

Oh, I'm not sure. I haven't had that problem. I would post a separate question so the WA community can help you with that
