  Hello,

  I have recently set up an account with mailchimp to start an email list from my blog.

  I need to embed an email list form on my blog page that will show up on every page.

  I need to know where to paste the code (for my form from mailchimp) on my wordpress blog.

  Can you help?

  Thanks,
  Brittany

  Hey Brittany,

  The standard method of inserting a MailChimp signup form uses Javascript and form code, which is not allowed on WordPress.com, for security reasons.

  One alternative is to create a widget on the MailChimp site. Then, take a screenshot image of the widget. Afterwards, you can add the image to your sidebar in an Image Widget and link it to your MailChimp signup page.

  Here is information about how to create your own widget here at WordPress.com:

  Let me know how this goes for you, and if you need a hand with the setup.

  By the way, if it helps, we also offer a contact form here at WordPress.com that you can install to collect your readers’ email addresses:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
