  2. Create your embed code within your MailChimp account. You can do this by logging into your MailChimp account and selecting the "Lists" tab and then click the "forms" link for the List you want to create a subscribe form for. You'll then see the form designer, and you'll want to click on the link "create embed code for small form."
