  Hi there,

  MailChimp offers instructions for how to add a signup form to your WordPress.com blog here: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-add-a-mailchimp-signup-form-to-your-wordpress-blog

  Please let me know if you’d like any further help with that. :)

  Hi there,

  Can you let me know where you’re getting stuck? If you have any questions about getting the Signup form URL from MailChimp, you’ll need to contact MailChimp support about how to do that. Once you have the URL, you can make a Text Widget Link put the URL in your blog’s sidebar.

  Just let me know where you’re having trouble and I’ll be happy to help further. :)

  HI Rachel,

  It seems that where I am getting stuck is when I copy the instructions from mail chimp and paste it into a text widget, it shows up as a long HTML code and I can’t figure out how to get it to appear visually. I have it set currently as a hyperlink on my site, but that is not what I want. I want it to appear as a sign up box directly on my site.

  Hi there,

  We currently don’t have a way to embed a MailChimp signup form directly into a WordPress.com site. Visitors will need to follow the link on your site to the MailChimp form. I just tried out the link on your site, and it’s working for me. :)
