    Hi there!

    The standard way that Mailchimp suggests you insert their signup form uses javascript and form code, which for security reasons is not allowed on WordPress.com.

    However, they provide alternate instructions for signup forms on WordPress.com sites here:

    It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    WordPress.com has a lot of built-in features that were inspired by popular plugins. Chances are, the feature you are looking for is already there! You can search our support site via this link:

    For any features on WordPress.com, the support page will explain how to set it up.

    Let me know if I can help with anything else!
