  Hi there

  I’m struggling to add a MailChimp Plugin or Widget to my blog. Please advise. Not sure if this is because I don’t have a premium site?

  From what I understand I should be able to find plugins under settings (“add new”) but I’m not seeing that at all. I’m also not seeing anything under widgets.

  OR any other suggestions to capture email addresses for newsletter sign ups.

  Would love any advice, please.

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Sites hosted on WordPress.com work a little differently than WordPress.ORG sites hosted elsewhere.
  Here’s a brief breakdown of the differences: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Unfortunately, the common way of getting a Mailchimp signup form on your website is one of the things that works differently.

  The good news is there is a fairly straight forward work around specifically for MailChimp that is outlined here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/mail-chimp-signup-form-embed-code-doesnt-work?replies=5

  Good luck!
