The network home page doesn't include a sidebar, but there are still three good places to put a newsletter signup.
First, turn on email collection: in your dashboard, go to Engage Listeners → Build a Mailing List and enable email collection — either with Podpage's built-in form or your own provider's code. All three options below depend on it.
Option 1: Add a Newsletter link to your navigation bar
- Go to Design → Navigation Bar.
- Open the Navigation Links section.
- Turn on the Newsletter link and save.
Option 2: Embed a signup form on your home page
- Go to Design → Home Page.
- Open Custom Section 1 or Custom Section 2.
- Click the source code (<>) button in the editor toolbar and paste your newsletter form's embed code.
- Save. The signup form now displays on your home page.
Option 3: Link to your newsletter page
Once email collection is on, Podpage automatically creates a standalone signup page at /newsletter on your domain. You can link to it from your navigation bar, custom pages, or anywhere else on your site.
