  I’m trying to add a sign up box for my newsletter. I pasted the html code in the html view area and then switched to the visual tab and everything looked fine. The words appeared and I saw the sign up box. I then hit “publish” and the sign up box disappeared. All that showed up is the word “email.” When I switched to the html view area all the code I pasted in was gone and this is what’s there instead:

  <div>Email

  </div>

  Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it?

  Thanks for whatever help you can give me.

  It is likely that the HTML code contained a script or some other code. Scripts are not allowed on wordpress.com.

  What is the URL of your blog?

  It’s not published yet. Thanks for that tip. I’ll contact the newsletter service I use and see if they have a workaround. I know I need to move to wordpress.org and I guess I should do it sooner rather than later.
