  Hi there!

  Third party code cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

  This type of code are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

  Sometimes, even without the installation of third-party code, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. If you let me know your goals, perhaps I can help further.

  I have a couple suggestions. You can use a contact form to allow people to sign up for your newsletter:

  You could also create you own widget in your sidebar that allows your readers to got to your Tiny Letter page to sign up:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
