    I have two blogs that are used for classroom communication. My students have all been named as Authors and are expected to post regularly. I, as the instructor, need to see these posts, but I cannot figure out how to receive notifications when the posts go up. Can you help with this? It just doesn’t work if I have to keep checking.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    You can definitely setup email notifications for a blog. Visit this page:

    https://wordpress.com/following/edit/

    If the blog does not already appear in the list of blogs you’re following, first enter the blog’s URL at the top and click Follow.

    Next, click Edit next to the blog:

    Adjust email settings to your liking for both Posts and Comments:

    You can also instruct your students to Follow the site using the same link. Alternatively, you, your students, and other readers can Follow the blog just by viewing the site:

    Best,
