Regarding the Jetpack Subscribe form, it seems to be working when the shortcode is inserted on a page:

However, the email-address fields looks thin and stretched (too long).
Sorry, I know I changed away from Hoffman for a while, which is probably why you haven’t answered my questions. I’ve switched back now, and am definitely keen to use it.
In terms of the subscribe form, I’m now using Mailpoet, and the form seems to look fine at the bottom of posts, so that’s no longer a problem.
I would still be keen to know, though, how to change the order of the “Older posts”, “Newer posts” links, and move the “Read more” button to the right.
Look forward to your reply!
