I have a 'posts' area and a 'subscribe to newsletter' area on this free template i downloaded. (its called "WN_003" on the interspire website)
im not sure how i make these areas work for me, im assuming the 'posts' area shows recent posts and the newsletter is pretty self explanatory but like where do i enter the sendto email address etc?

1, this peice of code looks like a script: " form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> " what is it for and how do i 'use' it? im assuming something goes in between the 2 " after action....but what?

2, another similar peice of code " input name="textfield" type="text" class="search_inputbox" value="Enter your E-mail" " seems to be for the 'newsletter signup' area on the page but again, how does this work?
Are these parts of a script that i have to add to or do they reference a script im not aware of?

oh, my brain is hurting.

I realize these are probably village idiot questions but i just cant work it out.

thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
