 * Can you provide a field within the plugin for adding labels and placeholders?
   It would greatly increase the usability of subscription forms.

 * Hey there,
 * Thanks for the suggestion! Right now MailChimp’s “Default Merge Tag Values” support
   pre-filling input fields on your plugin’s sign up form. However, the plugin does
   not currently provide the ability to add HTML5 placeholders. It’s something that’s
   definitely been discussed, and I’d be happy to pass along your feedback to the
   resources available on my end.
 * In the mean time, I’d recommend checking out an older thread that some of the
   forum members put together with some awesome suggestions of how to implement 
   those HTML5 placeholders into the current version of the plugin:

 * If you have any questions, just let me know!
