  Well that’s not possible and why would anyone want an arrogant in your face provide your email address subscription pop-up to appear before they have even read posts on your site, and decided if they want to follow it or not? As you can guess I refuse to follow any site as that behavior offends me.

  re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions

  All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.

  Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf.

  You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility

  We have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

  You cannot use the Mailchimp pop-up embed code provided by them. However, Staff have recently added the Mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp

  Additional information:
  You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  Hi there,

  We don’t have such an option that’s native to WordPress.com, but if you sign up for a MailChimp account you can add a MailChimp subscription pop-up form to your site, as @timethief already said above.
