  I am a k-5 teacher and I am looking for a feature that will let me update my parents when they follow me. I was hoping wordpress would send an email to them without me having to type them up an email that says that my blog has been updated. Does this feature exist on wordpress? Let me know , thank you so much.

  Hello nardita33,

  Absolutely, you can have followers. You could invite them via email, but better yet install a follower button on your page. If they are following you they will automatically receive and email every time you update your page. Here are a few support sites that will be helpful to you.
