    I agree with vernessataylor there should be some way around to get opt-in generator...Please find another method
  • vernessataylor Feb 21, 2010 @ 4:52 am | delete
    According to your website, "this method is no more" due to changes at Squidoo. Have you found another method that works? Thanks

    I am so grateful I found a lens that explains in depth how to put an opt in form on squidoo lenses. I used to hate squidoo, but after finding clearly explained functions and uses of squidoo (such as this lens) I am totally addicted. Way to go!

    You got the best how-to-do-lens in the world man! You should write books. They would be top sellers!

    Great lense, Wonderful information. Thank you for sharing.
  • solavar Jan 30, 2008 @ 2:40 pm | delete
    Great lens. It inspired me to set up an inline opt-in form that would pop-up on mouseover. However, since the demise of the iframe, the form could not be incorporated into the lens.

    I have found another way of doing it. It's called 'in-transit opt-in list-building'. When your reader clicks a link, it takes them to a form. After a set amount of time, maybe 30 seconds or so, it brings them back to the lens, whether they have opted in or not.

    Another Good One!
  • SP_Ko Nov 4, 2007 @ 2:03 am | delete

    Nice little tut on Iframes - but now they've taken it away.. and what do you suggest for an opt-in form now. Would the optin js not work with HTML written directly into a TextModule - ta from RoxClickAndDrag Graphics, Minisites and Ecovers
  • sonia_simone Aug 15, 2007 @ 12:46 pm | delete
    I've got an opt-in on my lenses--I use Emma, and they provide a plain old URL for the opt-in page. (They don't seem to have some of the cool tools AWeber does, tho.) Easy as pie. Maybe AWeber has something similar?
  • DownloadWiiGames Jul 27, 2007 @ 5:50 pm | delete
    Your lenses are really mind-boggling. They have made my blogging moments more pleasant and directed. Keep it coming MrLewisSmile. You really rock with info on how to make Squidoo dance with us!

    I really hope Squidoo would find a way to allow us to use opt-ins again.

    Any news or insights on why iframe is being disabled??
  • DevnMack Jun 30, 2007 @ 8:21 pm | delete
    Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing. I was trying to figure out how to embed forms in Squidoo...I wasn't sure if iFrames were allowed, but now I know they are. :-)
  • WomanMarketer Jun 30, 2007 @ 10:14 am | delete
    Thanks for the great tutorial! I'll be doing this today!
  • Susan52 Jun 26, 2007 @ 12:34 pm | delete
    Golly, MrLewisSmile, I can't get any work done! I just keep going from one lens of yours to the next! And my to-do-on-squidoo list just keeps getting longer and longer!
    Aaaaccckkkkkk!

    Nice tutorial on embedding the Opt-in form using an iFrame. SquidooCool site tips is nice too. I had also been wondering how to embed images with wrap-around.

    Sherry_d, if you read through the instructions and follow along you'll get this working in no time. Pasting the aweber code into your lens won't work. You'll need to follow the instructions as set out above whihc will help you get around this. Thanks for checking out the lens! :)
  • MrLewisSmile Jun 6, 2007 @ 5:46 pm | delete
    Thank you everyone for your amazing comments! I'm glad it is working for you! Thank for you all the star ratings, and thank you for the emails I have received about this lens. There are some pretty cool people here on Squidoo :)
  • sherry_d Jun 6, 2007 @ 11:29 am | delete
    I am struggling with this. I use aweber as autoresponder and after i add the code and click save. Nothing is being saved. The lens will ust be blank. Also do you know how i can add a poll

    Nice work, 5 again!
  • nedstorm May 22, 2007 @ 6:21 am | delete
    Thankyou for this method. Hopefully after clicking the submit button the person can escape from the frame.

    My example implementation is at Project e-Play I preceeded the email signup form with a YouTube video to gain people's interest.
