  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That code will not work. The only way to have mailchimp is to use the widget Staff provide. See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp and know that the embed code will not work on a wordpress.COM blog.

  Also, note that if you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. Permalink structure cannot be changed on sites hosted by wordpress.com

  For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.
