Adding Opt-In functionality to my wordpress.com website
-
I would like to add opt-in functionality to my wordpress.com website and am unable to find any widgets or information on the support forums about this.
Most of the plugins I’ve found on the web appear to only function with wordpress.org and not .com
I tried giving wordpress.org a shot, but it seemed too complicated for me.
Any advice?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widgets by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:
These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.

Your subscribers will control the frequency they receive your posts emailed to them (instantly, daily, weekly, never).
You could create a Subscribe Page.
Place the shorrcode on it. We have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/
Create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and add the page into it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pagesYou could also simply include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.
Note: You can create a Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and place a contact form on it for private communication with your visitors, or for opting into receiving a newsletter for example. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
