Advanced

If you have a custom coded sidebar or something else special going on where you can't simply enable the widget through the Wordpress GUI, all you need to do is:

If you are adding it inside a php code block, pop this in:

 mailchimpSF_display_widget(); 

Or, if you are dropping it in between a bunch of HTML, use this:

<?php mailchimpSF_display_widget(); ?>

Where ever you want it to show up.

Note: in some environments you will need to install the Exec_PHP plugin to use that method of display. It can be found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/
