HTML usage for plugins and widgets~Is it different for each Theme?
-
Is html coding available as a widget/plugin in my Theme-Adele? I did not see it in the widgets section? I would like to use HTML codes on the side bar as well as adding a pop-up subscribing html code through MailChimp. I tried to download the MailChimp plugin (though I am already a member of it) and add it to the plugin widgets but, it wasn’t functioning? I have also tried adding in a paypal button which didn’t work? Checked code, that was fine. Works on Blogspot…but not WordPress? I have to forward everyone to the old site in blogspot for them to order my books now :(
Any help would be greatly appreciated!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We cannot use the Mailchimp plugin on any WordPress.COM blog but there is a workaround. For a WordPress.COM blog you can create a sign up page on MailChimp directly and simply link to it. Here’s a link to their instructions http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-add-a-mailchimp-signup-form-to-your-wordpress-blog
See here for the Widgets provided by WordPress.COM

There is no FTP access to WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or third party themes.

WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

You cannot use the code provided by PayPal on a WordPress.COM blog. Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
