  I’m new to wordpress.com (usually use wordpress.org) so I’m a little unsure of how things work… Are there any widgets/add ons/features that allow me to insert my own code (html/css, js, and a little php)?

  OR

  Does anyone know of any widgets I can set up that not only allow a user to subscribe to an RSS feed but also obtain an email address of the user so that I can have it for a mailing list?

  Question: Are there any widgets/add ons/features that allow me to insert my own code (html/css, js, and a little php)?
  Short answer: No.

  (1) This is a multiuser blogging platform and we cannot edit out templates

  (2) We cannot use javascript for security reasons

  (3) Provide email subscriptions http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/11/how-can-i-offer-email-updates/
