 * Hi,
 * I’m having an issue with the MailChimp widget that i’ve installed in my footer.
 * When i select just the Email variable to be disabled, the widget looks perfect,
   however, when i select the First Name and Last Name variable the width skews 
   and the placeholder text shows for all the 3 fields shows Email Address*FirstNameLastName
   and the subscribe button moves out from being next to the field to being below
   the fields in the middle.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hey there,
 * Thanks for posting. It sounds like there may be some existing CSS on the site
   that may be creating this odd formatting. Do you happen to have a link available
   to a live site with this form on it? If so, could you post that here and I’d 
   be happy to take a closer look and make any suggestions that I can!
 * If you’re comfortable with CSS code, I’d recommend using something like Firebug
   to examine the CSS that’s in place on the code/form elements as well to see what
   may be causing that to happen.
 * I look forward to hearing back!
