  Hi jewellstar3,

  You can remove the .wordpress.com from your address by adding a custom domain to your site, which is a paid upgrade. This will allow you to have a .com domain. Personal, Premium and Business WordPress plans all include custom domains. You can compare plans and pricing here: Pricing

  Once you’ve upgraded, you can register new or existing domains for your site. To learn more about domains and how to register them, check out the Domains Support page.

  When using WordPress.com, you don’t have to worry about HTML. The WordPress.com platform handles all that for you! If you’d like to learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, check out this support page here: Com vs Org

  As for email subscriptions, The Follow Blog Widget is a great tool that enables your readers to sign up to receive your posts via email. Other WordPress users can also follow your blog by clicking the Follow button in their admin bar.

  Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

  Thanks. Yes I have the “follow blog” widget. I signed up for Mail Chimp and it has showed a lot of html on the sidebar. That is on my other site: astrologerknowthyself.wordpress.com
