  You cannot embed any HTML for that purpose as we have code restrictions and pop-up code will contain JavaScript.

  (For that I am grateful because I am visually challenged and I find the in my face subscribe pop-ups that appear before I have even read a complete post to be such a p-ss off that I click out never to return to that site again.)

  We have code restrictions at wordpress.COM. No javascript or iframe embeds or widgets from unsupported sources or third party advertising widget codes of form codes can be used on any wordpress.COM hosted sites.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#html-tags

  What is available is what I will post below. Note that the mailchimp pop up code cannot be used. You have to use the mailchimp widget.

  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.

  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.

  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/
