Mailchimp popup
-
Hi there, is there any way to install a mail chimp popup to gather email addresses on either the business or premium wordpress package? I do not want to host my own site but would like to eventually upgrade from free if there is some sort of plugin that I can install to gather email addresses. Is there any function to do this, even on the free account?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What is available is what I will post below. Note that the mailchimp pop up code cannot be used. You have to use the mailchimp widget.
re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions
All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.
Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf.
You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityWe have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.
Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp
Additional information:
You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/Read more at https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=following

You cannot install any plugins into any wordpress.COM hosted sites, regardless of upgrades. You are confusing wordpress.com hosted sites with wordpress.org software installs on paid hosting. For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service. See: Moving to self hosted wordpress https://move.wordpress.com
At present 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.

Thank you for that information, yes i’m aware I cannot install plugins to my wordpress.com site, but I knew there would be options that I was just not aware of in regards to subscriptions and widgets. Thank you for the resources that’s exactly what I was after
