  I am trying to post a MailChimp form to WordPress. When I follow these instructions – http://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp/installation/ – I am given an error that says I am not to be there.

  Please help.

  Thanks,
  Laura

  The instructions you’re referring to are for sites that are self-hosted using the standalone WordPress.com software. We cannot install plug-ins here. See this support doc on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Regardless, if you want to use MailChimp with your WordPress.com site you can do so by creating a link to the signup form on MailChimp. Here’s the info from MailChimp Support http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-add-a-mailchimp-signup-form-to-your-wordpress-blog

  We do also have a subscribe by email widget available. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/ This will notify followers of a new post depending on their delivery preferences; it will send out an email or appear in the WordPress.com Reader. In either case you don’t have control over the design.
