Is it possible to embed a Mail chimp signup form on a page
-
hi
have been trying to embed a Mailchimp email list signup form on our site.. but not having much luck.Is this possible, and if so how? (code is below?)
<!– Begin MailChimp Signup Form –>
<link href=”http://cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/slim-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=”http://newtown.us2.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post?u=328f862a8b9856c065c6e68cb&id=eac2caf634″ method=”post” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” name=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” class=”validate” target=”_blank” novalidate>
<label for=”mce-EMAIL”>Subscribe to our mailing list</label>
<input type=”email” value=”” name=”EMAIL” class=”email” id=”mce-EMAIL” placeholder=”email address” required>
<div class=”clear”><input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” name=”subscribe” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe” class=”button”></div>
</form>
</div><!–End mc_embed_signup–>

The form tag is forbidden and wp.com platform strips it from your site.
from
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ :WordPress.com allows the following HTML code in your posts, pages, and widgets:
address, a, abbr, acronym, area, article, aside, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, cite, class, code, col, del, details, dd, div, dl, dt, em, figure, figcaption, footer, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, header, hgroup, hr, i, img, ins, kbd, li, map, ol, p, pre, q, s, section, small, span, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, var
Check out W3 Schools for more information about what each of these HTML codes are used for.
If you are familiar with HTML, you’ll notice that codes such as embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea and others are missing from the above list. Those codes are not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons.
Not being familiar with MailChimp, what are you trying to accomplish?

ok thanks.. thats a shame
trying to let people sign up for our email list directly from the site…
suppose will just need to provide a link to the form on mailchimp … not as nice for users, but it looks like the only option..?
Plus, can you confirm that we cant use google analytics on wordpress.com sites ?

No, we cannot use Google Analytics on WordPress.com. They use it themselves, and we are all subdomains of wp.com. So that means we can’t use it.

Readers can subscribe to your blog:

Maybe use the contact form:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/also not an automatic way to generate an email list.
