Hi, I’m not sure how to download this template. I see in the comments you direct people to enter their email at the bottom of the post in a form…. however I’m having a hard time finding the form at all. Is there a link to the form that you could reply with?
There may be a few reasons why you can’t see the forms. There are some things that are beyond my control that may be happening, such as if you use an adblocker or firewall. Both may block the forms from appearing. The forms are always near the end of the post, above the comments sections, and under a bolded subheading. Also, some readers say they’re not able to see it on Chrome, but they can on other browsers. You may be able to try that as well ◡̈
Thanks so much for your idea
