We're big fans of MailChimp - it's a great service for collecting user sign ups and it has an easy-to-use system for sending out beautiful email newsletters to whomever has submitted their details.
You'll need to go to their site and sign up for a free account. From there you can create a form which will allow you to collect addresses - just follow the instructions on the site.
To add your newly created form to StartRight we recommend the MailChimp for WordPress plugin.
Once installed you'll need to add a unique API key to the MailChimp Settings section. You'll be able to get that within your MailChimp account.
For full install instructions see here.
Once you've installed this plugin correctly and connected it to the signup form you've created within your MailChimp account you can simply add the widget within Appearance > Widgets > Footer Column 3. This is detailed in our footer setup guide.
