I want to create an email form for my Joomla website. It is a subscription form for a newsletter. The code of the form will be HTML. How can I do this?

    1. This is a Joomla module which implements a simple email form.
    2. To install, login as the Joomla administrator, and select "Extensions" - "Install/Uninstall".
    3. Browse for the downloaded ZIP file and click "Upload File and Install".
    4. After installation, typical usage would be to configure it to load inside a Joomla article

    The way to do this is as follows:

    http://usjoomlaforce.com
    Go to "Extensions" - "Module Manager" and select the module.
    In the "Details" box, modify "Position" to "user99" (or anything, really)
    NOTE: you'll have to type this in manually -- it's not on the list.

    In your target article, add this line: "{loadposition user99}"
    NOTE: don't put a space between "{" and"loadposition" and also don't put
    a space between"user99" and "}"!
    If it still doesn't load, go to "Extensions" - "Plugin Manager" and make sure that the
    "Content - Load Module" plugin is enabled.
