  I am trying to update a website so that on the home page individuals who visit the website can type in their name, email, and phone number in the upper right hand corner so that we can save their contact info, and track who visits the site, as well as provide them with a free PDF book.

  I am unsure of the steps of how to do this or if I would I need to use a plugin and if so, which would be best to use.

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

  What you propose above cannot be done on a site hosted by wordpress.COM. You will need to hire a web host and set up a wordpress.ORG software install for the functionality.

  We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

  Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  Hello, I am referring to a website hosted by wordpress with a .com. It is currently running on WordPress 4.2.7 with the Twenty Twelve theme. I would like to know how to create an opt in form on the main page of the website.
