How do I add a Mail Chimp widget?
-
Is it possible to add a Mail Chimp sign up widget to my blog? I can’t seem to get the Mail Chimp instructions to work for me…but then I am not a programmer so it does not make sense to me. Is there an easy way for an idiot to install this? Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.com actually removes much of the code that the MailChimp embed form uses for security reasons.
The best thing you can do is to add a link to your sidebar that points to your signup forum hosted with MailChimp.

What you could also do is put an image in your sidebar that LOOKS like a signup form, but actually links to your forum. This was a great tip posted back in 2009! Link: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/mail-chimp-signup-form-embed-code-doesnt-work
