How would you use a hosted web form?
3 things come to mind immediately
1. Email
You can use email to build your email list.
Simply ask your current subscribers to forward their emails to their friends and family with a easy way for them to sign up themselves.

of your Word Press blog and link it to hosted web form hosted by Aweber.
