is it possible to add a opt in form from mailchimp to my wordpress site?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Not directly, no. The code is insecure and will be stripped out. But I believe Mailchimp gives you an external web page on their site that you can link to, or you can embed the code in a google doc and link to it.
-
You can link to a Mailchimp sign up form URL from your WordPress.com site either in a text widget or in your navbar, but you cannot embed the form directly.
Here’s Mailchimp’s support doc about this: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-add-a-mailchimp-signup-form-to-your-wordpress-blog
-
I’ve tried those instructions to link to the sign up in a text widget in the sidebar, and it doesn’t work. My site is http://www.imprimereconsulting.com/. This is starting to be more frustrating than it’s worth.

Just as I suspected that site is NOT being hosted by WordPress.com. We provide support only for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and you are posting to the wrong support forum.WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

Thanks very much. Having two very similar URLs is most confusing and difficult to keep straight.

You’re welcome and not to worry as you will get the help you need at http://wordpress.org/support/

I agree….Wordpress.com and WordPress.org? Confusing.
Can I upgrade to WordPress.org so I can add plugins? Is that a paid service. -
There is no upgrade required to moveng your content into to WordPress.org install. To move your content you need to create an XML export file of your content. It will not include the theme as they cannot be exported. See 3 below.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
http://wordpress.org/themes/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/
6. Set your wordpress.com blog visibility to private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
NOTE: WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
