  I need to get a form displayed within a blog post, that upon being filled out, populates to a mailchimp list.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We cannot use the plugin on any WordPress.COM blog so be clear on that please. For a WordPress.COM blog you can create a sign up page on MailChimp directly and simply link to it. Here’s their instructions http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-add-a-mailchimp-signup-form-to-your-wordpress-blog

  There are code restrictions on WordPress.com blogs that prevent us from using form codes.

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

  If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:

  These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.
  Logged out users __ Show follow button to logged out users.

  Checking this will present a follow button to logged out users in the bottom corner of their screen.
