  Hi,
  I am trying to get the email addresses of everyone who visits my site so I can email them with updates.

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

  They need to have followed your blog via email. You could add a widget that allows for this in your WP Dashboard.

  Your wordpress.com subscribers to

  http://iamcasual.wordpress.com/
  are found here

  http://iamcasual.wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers

  Note that the title there includes Publicize followers from social networks. https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

  Your email only subscribers are here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email

  It’s important to know that when we provide an email address to receive blog updates that is the only purpose it can be used for. You are not entitled to use it to spam the followers with anything else at all.

  If what you are asking is for the personal identities of those who follow you then know that many of us refuse to provide our personal name and email addresses so we aren’t spammed. Instead, we use a pseudonym and a throw-away email address for blogging purposes.

  re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions

  All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.

  Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf.

  You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility

  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/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

  Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp

  Additional information:
  You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
