    Embed join mailing list code
    I have a code from Mail Chimp I would like to use on word press to build an email list that I can use to send a Newsletter to my followers. The code is as follows:
    <!– Begin MailChimp Signup Form –>
    <link href=”//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-081711.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
    <style type=”text/css”>
    #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
    /* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
    We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */
    </style>
    <div id=”mc_embed_signup”>
    <form action=”//wordpress.us9.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=f6069886fbd3b071eb206b59c&id=4027bbae55″ method=”post” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” name=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” class=”validate” target=”_blank” novalidate>
    <div id=”mc_embed_signup_scroll”>
    <h2>Subscribe to our mailing list</h2>
    <div class=”indicates-required”><span class=”asterisk”>*</span> indicates required</div>
    <div class=”mc-field-group”>
    <label for=”mce-EMAIL”>Email Address <span class=”asterisk”>*</span>
    </label>
    <input type=”email” value=”” name=”EMAIL” class=”required email” id=”mce-EMAIL”>
    </div>
    <div class=”mc-field-group”>
    <label for=”mce-FNAME”>First Name </label>
    <input type=”text” value=”” name=”FNAME” class=”” id=”mce-FNAME”>
    </div>
    <div class=”mc-field-group”>
    <label for=”mce-LNAME”>Last Name </label>
    <input type=”text” value=”” name=”LNAME” class=”” id=”mce-LNAME”>
    </div>
    <div id=”mce-responses” class=”clear”>
    <div class=”response” id=”mce-error-response” style=”display:none”></div>
    <div class=”response” id=”mce-success-response” style=”display:none”></div>
    </div> <!– real people should not fill this in and expect good things – do not remove this or risk form bot signups–>
    <div style=”position: absolute; left: -5000px;”><input type=”text” name=”b_f6069886fbd3b071eb206b59c_4027bbae55″ tabindex=”-1″ value=””></div>
    <div class=”clear”><input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” name=”subscribe” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe” class=”button”></div>
    </div>
    </form>
    </div>
    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js’></script><script type=’text/javascript’>(function($) {window.fnames = new Array(); window.ftypes = new Array();fnames[0]=’EMAIL’;ftypes[0]=’email’;fnames[1]=’FNAME’;ftypes[1]=’text’;fnames[2]=’LNAME’;ftypes[2]=’text’;}(jQuery));var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>
    <!–End mc_embed_signup–>

    Can I add it to the widgets page or do I need to do something else? Or is it not possible at all?

    Please advise….I greatly appreciate your assistance.

    We cannot use that code for the Mailchimp plugin on any WordPress.COM blog but there is a workaround. There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

    If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

    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
