    Thanks for the mention and the tutorial! I tweeted this :)

    It’ll be interesting to see if it requires some other hacks to make it work like this, when running the Thesis theme. If it does, and I manage to solve it, I’ll of course do a post about it (and link here as well).

    I think it was at Sketch101 (or some site with a similar name) that I read it was very complicated to integrate the subscription manager into a site design, but your tutorial makes it look really, really easy.

      @Klaus @ TechPatio,
      Thanks for your tweet Klaus. I am not sure about Thesis. But I am sure that you can now do that of your own with your Thesis theme.

      I hope everything is easy only if we give a try. From now, you will be aware of knowing everything.

    Does anyone know how to preview the changes? I made the changes that are suggested here, but I would like to see what they look like before a user sees them …
