  Here is an example of the form code:

  <!– Begin MailChimp Signup Form –>
  <link href=”//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/slim-081711.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
  <style type=”text/css”>
  #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
  /* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
  We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */
  </style>
  <div id=”mc_embed_signup”>
  <form action=”http://GermanyGoesRaw.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=f91462a343c56f65dcb7a154d&id=73bf82a771″ method=”post” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” name=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” class=”validate” target=”_blank” novalidate>
  <label for=”mce-EMAIL”>Subscribe to our mailing list</label>
  <input type=”email” value=”” name=”EMAIL” class=”email” id=”mce-EMAIL” placeholder=”email address” required>
  <!– real people should not fill this in and expect good things – do not remove this or risk form bot signups–>
  <div style=”position: absolute; left: -5000px;”><input type=”text” name=”b_f91462a343c56f65dcb7a154d_73bf82a771″ value=””></div>
  <div class=”clear”><input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” name=”subscribe” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe” class=”button”></div>
  </form>
  </div>

  <!–End mc_embed_signup–>

  Hi there!

  The standard way that Mailchimp suggests you insert their signup form uses javascript and form code, which for security reasons is not allowed on WordPress.com.

  However, they provide alternate instructions for signup forms on WordPress.com sites here:

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!
