Hey gnba,
The plugin provides the option to add an embedded sign up form to your WordPress page, and it does not provide the option of adding just a link to your sidebar.
In order to add a simple link (not an embedded form) to your site that points to your list’s signup form, you can create a text widget, then add a link to that text widget, rather than using this plugin.
This article walks through how to find that code you want to add to insert a link to the sign up form to your page:

For adding an unsubscribe/opt-out link, you can follow the same steps as the subscribe link to use a text widget and add the code that’s found here:
