Click the "Tools" admin menu link, and select "Subscribers".
Manually subscribe people as you see fit.
Create a WordPress Page to display the subscription form. When creating the page, you may click the "S2" button on the QuickBar to automatically insert the subscribe2 token. Or, if you prefer, you may manually insert the subscribe2 token:
Ensure the token is on a line by itself and that it has a blank line above and below.
This token will automatically be replaced by dynamic subscription information and will display all forms and messages as necessary.
In the WordPress "Settings" area for Subscribe2 define the default page ID in the "Appearance" section to the ID of the WordPress page created in step 7.
