 * with the update to version 4.7.1 you’ve changed the styling of the form widgets.
   now people have to change it back to their design and need to add extra css code.
   please think about this.
 * what’s also mega bad are the !important tags .. which are forcing me to also 
   override things with !important .
 * `.newsletter-widget input[type=submit] {
    background-color: #444 !important; 
   color: #fff !important;

 * also theres the “placeholder to label” change which I’m not happy with. it was
   good like it was. at least let people choose if they wanted a label or a placeholder
   fpr email adress or even both.

 * to be more specific: in the ‘old’ form you’ve been working with a value=”Email
   address” for the submit field, which isn’t the best method, since there is a 
   placeholder attribute (since html5).
