Do Followers receive an email every time I post?
-
When someone follows my site, I thought they would receive an email every time I made a post to the site. I’m trying to test this. I’m following the site but I’m not receiving the email like a follower would. Did I misunderstand features here?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. If you follow a site via the follow button in the black admin bar you need to sign up separately to receive email notifications. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/following/#manage-email-and-im-settings-for-specific-blogs
You also won’t receive email notifications if they are blocked under your account settings
If you want to make it easier for people to specifically follow you via email, consider adding the blog subscription widget to your site if you haven’t yet: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
To summarize, it’s completely up the follower whether they want to receive email notifications or not. If they choose they can only follow your blog in the reader, or even follow via email but choose only to receive one email for all your posts once a week.
