  I’m trying to add an email subscribe list with Mailchimp html code but doesn’t seem to display well on my blog. What are the steps to make this happen? Thanks

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

  The HTML embed code that Mailchimp provides makes use of the iframe tag, and that won’t work on WordPress.com. We do not allow certain tags on WordPress.com for security reasons, including JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags.

  These restrictions are in place to prevent any disruptions in service due to potentially malicious code. You can read more about this here:

  Code

  Most folks on WordPress.com using MailChimp will create an Image Widget that links to your signup form URL. This method uses the MailChimp-hosted version of your list’s signup form, instead of the embedded version.
