 * I want to make a subscribe-only form. Do I need to add a form action to my form
   to make it work at all?
 * Here’s my form – will it work as is, or do I need to add something like
    `<input
   type="hidden" name="_mc4wp_action" value="subscribe" />`
 * ?
 *     ```
       <p>
       	<input type="text" name="FNAME" placeholder="First Name" required>
       </p>
       <p>
       	<input type="email" name="EMAIL" placeholder="email address" required>
       </p>
       <p>
       	<input type="submit" value="Subscribe">
       </p>
       ```

 * Hey prandrews73,
 * The form would work without needing any subscribe action. The button we have 
   to add subscribe action is only required with you are also adding unsubscribe
   option.
