Anyone here use Mailchimp? Could you help me with my opt-in form?

So I'm using the free version of mailchimp just to give away an ebook I made and collect emails. It's not a huge site so the free version will be fine.

However, I noticed that you can't make a form to embed on your website. I go into "lists" and then "create forms" but the form I create can only be linked to, and not embedded. The only forms you can embed are really plain forms to subscribe. Is this right, or am I missing something?

So, I decided to use CoffeeCup's Webform Builder, which was offered by mailchimp. I downloaded it and created a really nice form. However, my Google Insights Page Speed score went from 96 to 67 just because of that one form.

Is there a way in mailchimp to do this. I've looked everywhere but all I can find are those really simple plain forms to embed, and you can't add images,etc.

    Hey lovboa, I am sharing you a piece of html code. This will not slow down your site. See if you can work with this code.

    HTML Code:
    <form action="http://janakellam.us2.list-manage2.com/subscribe/post?u=10a637f2053ebfae77def9c38&amp;id=da040a0ca3" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank">

<table style="text-align: left;" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">

<tbody>

<tr>

<td style="background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);"><img style="width: 305px; height: 157px;" alt="enter your details" src="enteryourdetails.png"><br>

<tr>

<td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);"><label for="mce-FNAME">First Name </label>

<input value="" name="FNAME" class="required" id="mce-FNAME" type="text"></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="text-align: center; background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);"><label for="mce-EMAIL">Main Email </label>

<input value="" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" type="email"></td>

</tr>
