  Hi!

  The subscription widget won’t be possible at WordPress.com. We block the necessary HTML in the form code for security reasons. You can read more about this here:

  Add Code to Your Site

  However, you can insert a link to your Mailchimp sign-up widget and put that link in a Text Widget. Instructions from Mailchimp can be found here:

  You’ll just want to enter the following text into a Text Widget:

  <a href="SIGNUP URL">Subscribe to my newsletter!</a>

  Can you give that a try?
