Adds a floating Follow Button to Mailchimp using WP sites. Use Follow Plugin for Feedburner if your don't use Mailchimp.

== Description ==

This plugin collects inserts a Follow Button on the bottom right corner of your website (the follow button which appears on every wordpress.com blog) and uses it to collect email address and passes them to your Mailchimp Email Subscription Database.

Thatmeans you can use your existing Mailchimp Account to send email updates to your subscribers and RSS-to-Email to update you list when you've written a new blog post.

<strong>NOTE: This plugin requires Mailchimp to be activated</strong>

If you do not use Mailchimp you can download the "Follow" Plugin instead. Follow Plugin is listed in the Wordpress plugin repository at http://wordpress.org/extended/plugins/follow

Note: This project was forked from TheAdityaJain's "Follow Button for Feedburner" plugin.

This plugin adds a floating follow button to your blog/website, the same follow button which appears every on WP.COM blogs to collect email address and passes them to Mailchimp Email Subscription Service.

Well, the answer is very simple. I and many of the Wordpress.org users(may be you too) are jealous of the follow button that appears on
