I have used it to build a mailing list of over 800.

NONE of the mailchimp, aweber, etc codes work here, because they are stripped out for security reasons. We generally recommend you put them into a Google Doc or something, then link to it in your sidebar text widget, or from a link in a custom header.

WordPress.com provides a secure contact form that you can customize and place on a static page for this purpose.

What I want is a place for readers to sign up for a mailing list.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
This is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
This is the visual result but as it's just an example it's not actually linked to a page:
Highlighted anchor text here

Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text.
Next click the chain icon in the Visual editor and proceed to create the link.
