   I'm trying to install this Subscription form on my site, and it calls to create a table in my wordpress database. I have no idea how to do this.
   The instructions were not quite written for a complete novice.

   1. Create the wp_email_list table in your Word Press
   MySQL database.
   If your wp table prefix is something other than
   "wp_" you need to update this table to match it.
   [Use sql/wp_email_list.sql]

   Included was that file 'wp_email_list.sql'. and it reads as so:

   CREATE TABLE wp_email_list (
   id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
   email_addr varchar(255) default NULL,
   gets_mail int(11) default NULL,
   last_modified timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
   date_subscribed datetime default NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY (id)
   ) TYPE=MyISAM;

   Can anybody give me a fairly detailed walkthrough?
   It would be very much appreciated. Thanks

   This isn't my specialty...yet...but the first question anyone around here will ask you is: Do you have MySQL access through phpmyadmin?

   Easiest just to copy the whole line above (CREATE TABLE wp_email_list ...), go into your database through phpMyAdmin, click the SQL tab, paste the line in the "run SQL query" textbox, and click Go.
