Newsletter — Add FreeLists

Elegant shows a form to subscribe to your newsletter, above the fold, in the right section of every article.

You need to put your FreeLists name in FREELISTS_NAME in your configuration file.

To customize user experience you can also define,

1. EMAIL_SUBSCRIPTION_LABEL,
2. EMAIL_FIELD_PLACEHOLDER and
3. SUBSCRIBE_BUTTON_TITLE
