  Hello,
  I am trying to embed the html code from mailchimp for a mailing sign up into a text widget on my wordpress dashboard. It continues to only show the text on my page and doesn’t embed the form. Can you please help me with this? I have pasted the code below

  <!– Begin MailChimp Signup Form –>
  <link href=”//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/slim-081711.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
  <style type=”text/css”>
  #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
  /* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
  We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */
  </style>
  <div id=”mc_embed_signup”>
  <form action=”http://skyedreamer.us3.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=1227a1972d569bc9209652517&id=fe9ac83eb1″ method=”post” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” name=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” class=”validate” target=”_blank” novalidate>
  <label for=”mce-EMAIL”>Subscribe to our mailing list</label>
  <input type=”email” value=”” name=”EMAIL” class=”email” id=”mce-EMAIL” placeholder=”email address” required>
  <!– real people should not fill this in and expect good things – do not remove this or risk form bot signups–>
  <div style=”position: absolute; left: -5000px;”><input type=”text” name=”b_1227a1972d569bc9209652517_fe9ac83eb1″ value=””></div>
  <div class=”clear”><input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” name=”subscribe” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe” class=”button”></div>
  </form>
  </div>

  <!–End mc_embed_signup–>

  Hi there,

  Please note that the code used to generate a Mailchimp sign-up form is blocked by WordPress.com for security reasons. Here is the best way to use your Mailchimp account with your WordPress.com blog:
