How create a horizontal newsletter signup box: Minimal

[AaronN]

Hello everyone,
I've been hunting for this all over the place, and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. (SO if I'm repeating something, please forgive me.)

I have the Minimal theme on my site. I want to have a newsletter signup form appear horizontally on my site exactly where that big 'subscribe now!' banner is. I want to keep the 'subscribe now' button, but have a 'first name' and 'e-mail' input area horizontally displayed next to the subscribe button. I hope this makes sense.

Any help?
(And sorry about my site - it's totally under construction.)

This tutorial should help: http://www.carriedils.com/add-widget-area-below-nav/

Basically, it's easier to add a new widget area and use the eNews and Updates plugin than to try to alter the existing Tagline Right widget area.

Thanks Andrea! I will check that out. I wonder if you know where I could find code to get the form (First name, E-mail + submit ) button to appear aligned on the same line horizontally - not stacked on top of each other. Like this example: http://chrislocurto.com/ (Not sure if he is using minimum theme...) What do you think?

Once it's live on the site, I can help you with styling. Basically you just need the input widths to be something like 40% and they'll both fit on one line.
