call newsletter block in footer in magento

You can do this in local.xml

I had done following code for local.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<layout version="0.1.0">

    <default>

<!-- remove the newsletter block from left navigation -->

        <remove name="left.newsletter" /> 

        <!-- call newsletter block in footer -->

        <reference name="footer">

            <block type="newsletter/subscribe" name="newsletter" as="newsletter" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml" before="-" />

        </reference>

    </default>

</layout>
