  Please please add a mailchimp widget or plug in.

  I have been reading the forum and help files for adding my mailchimp sign up form and not yet managed to find out a way around it.
  My newsletter combined with my website/blog are my most important marketing tools and from reading other peoples comments and queries on the forum it looks like others are also interested in integrating mailchimp with their wordpress website / blog.

  Click the tag you entered into the sidebar pf this thread and read the previous threads please.

  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
