I can’t tell if this was ever resolved but I was having the same issue.

My problem with with the quotes ” ” – in the @import line. I had “fancy” quotes from a text editor – and by the look of the code above the problem may have been using single quotes instead of double. I think the code should have worked if it looked like this:

/*
Theme Name: twentytwo
Theme URI: URI to your theme
Description: Twenty Twelve child theme with a twist or two
Author: Your name and a link to your site
Version: 0.0.1
Template: twentytwelve
*/
@import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");

Hi Matt,

here is the CSS formatting for button from my template. You can add this to your CSS style sheet and customize from there.

#mc_signup_submit.button:hover {
background: #690;
color: white;
border: 1px solid #690;
}

#mc_signup_submit.button {
background: #EEE;
color: #666;
font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px;
padding: 4px 8px 4px 8px;
border: 1px solid #DDD;
border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
cursor: pointer;
}

Beautiful! that’s perfect!

Thanks!

I really like how the widget looks with the placeholder text. I was wondering if (1) you know how to remove the label “Email Address” from before the input box and (2) how I can have it so that the input box and submit button are on the same line.

Here is the temp site I am currently working on, so you can see what I am talking about.
