Setting Up Subscribe to Blog on your site
-
I know this is a simple one, but can’t locate the answer…How do set up the function in your blog so that people can click on a widget to subscribe to your blog?
(email visible only to moderators and staff)

You can add the “Meta Widget” in your sidebar – it contains a link to your blog’s rss feed. That way people can subscribe to your feed.
Another thing, please don’t put your email address in the forums – the spammers will catch it and make your mailbox become a living hell. And all questions are answered here in the forum, so no need to put an email address here.
Hope this was helpful,

You can also add the RSS widget and configure it to show your own blog. It’s redundant, but it does show people instantly where they can get your feed.

Actually, came to think about it, third way is to use a text widget and put in a link called “subscribe” or whatever, and link it to your blog’s feed:
My feed is http://lovenoir.wordpress.com/feed
Yours would be
http://livewell.wordpress.com/feed
That should do the trick.

Thanks Biyag and raincoaster…my blogging skills are minimal, so I can’t figure out how to put a link in to the blog home page…any help? Also, can I remove my e-mail address from the initial posting question in the forum.

Sadly you can’t remove your email address yourself – only way to do it is to ask a forum moderator or staff member to moderate your post and delete it.
Here’s a little reading on widgets and links:
Hope that helps,

Another way, which is often used in newsgroups, is to add some characters to your email address and then tell people to remove them before answering.
Like this:
123username123 @yourisp.com
Remove “123” to get the right email address– Biyang
