Congratulations!!!
You have come a long way.
Now to make sure it all works as desired.
Be prepared with several email addresses to test with.
- Log out of MailChimp.
- Log out of your own website.
- Clear your browser cookies and history.
Now open your Opt-In page and enter an email address.
- Make sure that you were sent to your Confirmation page.
- Check your email to make sure you receive the Confirmation email from MailChimp.
- From that email click on the confirmation button in the email.
- Make sure you are sent to your Thank You page.
- Make sure you are able to download your Free Gift.
- Check your email to make sure you receive the Welcome email.
Did everything flow as desired?
- If so, Great, you are now your first subscriber!
- If not, stop at the broken link and determine what went wrong.
- This is why we test!

This is incredibly great training. I have been trying to do it since you posted it. I could not figure out how to get the code for the form that I built inside Mailchimp. But I have got a form built. I will let you know through the stages. Thank you so much. .... and Yahoo - I now have an account with Mailchimp. Awesome.

No I wasn't yet. When I go to the embed section, I can only get code for a generic form, not the form that I created under list. I finally chat-talked with a staffer, and they directed me to mailchimp for wordpress plugins instead of telling me where to find the code. I tried their recommended plugins, which required me to change my captcha version. That really screwed up my site, so I ended up removing them and am back at square one, trying to find the code. Mailchimp is not making this easy or perhaps my old eyes are just not seeing the link I am looking for. I will try my old method of setting your instructions on one open browser and mailchimp on another open browser side by side and following you step by step. That may clear my confusion. Thank you so much for all your efforts. I am grateful to you.

I did consider showing the mailchimp for wordpress plugin, but the free version is limited to only one mailchimp signup form
the embed code does change to reflect any changes that are made to the form
the key is to copy those changes and paste them into the your website (I just add a step in between of copying to a notepad first and then to your website)
if you do not change the code on your website, the form on your website will not change
