 * Hi there. I have used the shortcode [mailchimpsf_form] which creates a crazy 
   look on my page [http://treatingautism.org.uk/membership-signup/](http://treatingautism.org.uk/membership-signup/).
   I’m happy to style the code, but need the classes/IDs to make that happen.
 * Is there some full embed code I could use? Or a styling guide?

 * What I normally do is wrap the shortcode in a <div> or a <span> in the HTML editor,
   give it a specific ID and use CSS inheritance to override the offending styles.

 * Yep yep, that works!
 * Alternatively, if you’re ever looking for a specific class or ID that’s already
   in place on an HTML element, I’d recommend using the ‘inspect element’ tool on
   a browser like Chrome. It’ll let you know all the CSS that’s in place on a particular
   element – it even allows you to make adjustments to the CSS code so you can preview
   how it would look live.
