How do I edit the Blog Subscriptions (Jetpack) widget?

    I have absolutely no experience in CSS/HTML/PHP but I’ve managed to kind of figure it out.

    However, at the bottom of the page (jayemsey.com) in the footer, the last widget (“subscribe via email”) is different from the others. The font is bolded, the letters are capitalized, and for some reason my personal email keeps appearing in the field in which you’re supposed to enter your email to subscribe.

    How do I edit it? I tried looking at the PHP files but I couldn’t find a place to edit the text. I want to unbold the font and place different text in the box.

    Please help!

    Try going to Appearance > Edit CSS in your dashboard, and add the following CSS:

    .jetpack_subscription_widget h3 label {
font-weight: 400;
}

    for some reason my personal email keeps appearing in the field in which you’re supposed to enter your email to subscribe.

    As long as you’re logged in, the form will be pre-filled with your personal details. Your readers, on the other hand, will see an empty field since they’re logged out.
    You can test this by logging out of your WordPress account.

    Thank you Jeremy! You’re a lifesaver. One more thing…is there any way to change the text in the email subscription box? (Currently it says “Email Address”)

    That’s not possible at the moment, but starting in Jetpack 3.2 (scheduled to be released later this week), the widget settings will include a new “placeholder” option allowing you to change that value:
