  I want to put on my site some form where readers can sign up to be informed of when my next book is out.

  Everyone recommends mailchimp, so I went there, registered, created a form.

  What do I do next? There’s a dropdown menu which says For Your Website but when I open the links I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do. One link says: Signup Form Link Code. Another says Signup Form Embed Code. I don’t understand either or what I am supposed to do with them.

  How do I get the mailchip form to appear on my website?

  thanks for any help.

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

  We can help your here with your set up. There are code restrictions here at WordPress.com http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ Unless mailchimp has a plain HTML option for their code (no form code, iframe or javascript) then you are not going to be able to use it here at wordpress.com. It could be that you can get some HTML link code from them that will allow people who click on the link to be transported to a signup form at mailchimp. I suggest you ask them
