Latest News: I have updated the tutorial to reflect the latest changes in the latest version of the plugin.

When it comes to subscription forms one always tries to add some kind of style. A style that appeals to the potential subscribers. It is also important that it matches your theme. This plugin has many different styles for you to choose from. If those styles don’t suit you and you would like to add your own custom style then you have to purchase the MailChimp For WordPress Pro Version. The pro version allows you to customize the layout as you please. This would come in handy as you would be able to design the layout to blend in with your theme.
