Converting Pages to Blogs
-
I created pages for my newsletter but have recently found out that readers cannot follow me because there is no RSS feed for pages. I would like to know if it is possible to convert the pages to blogs or will I have to start all over? Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks everyone.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

As Pages site outside the blog structure there is no automatic way to make Pages into Post and visa versa. It’s a copy and paste content into a Post and delete the original Page job.

I can cut and paste. Do I need to send readers and update for the blog. I want to keep the same name. Is that doable?
-
Yes you can keep the very same blog. Every time you publish a Post your subscribers will be automatically notified.

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.
