Hi all. I'm not sure how to go about this. I need to create a small form for entering an email address. but the form needs to be on the homepage. I've created form pages before but this has me stumped as it needs to be part of the content for the homepage. Any ideas...?

Well you could use Drupal's
Well you could use Drupal's Form API (FAPI), but I imagine the webform module should do everything you require.
Simplenews
If are registering peple for a newsletter, you could use Simplenews.
It manages subscriptions and the creating and sending of newsletters.
Thanks
Thanks guys. Used the form API in the end. It was easier than I thought. still trying to get my head around drupal. I've lots to learn.

form API in a page
Hello guys, I am using the form API which is great. Just trying to figure out how to put it into a basic page.
I created a basic page (using "add new content"), and just wanted to merge the form in there.
Is there a way to do that or do I have to create a brand new template and then hard code the form into the page?
Webform
I would use the webform module for simple forms...
http://drupal.org/project/webform
Yeah that's not the way to do
Yeah that's not the way to do it. Either use the webform module which takes care of the form API and data storage for you, or create it's own menu item for it by using hook_menu(). Do NOT embed it into a node page.
kewl
