How do I add the feature "notify me of new blog posts"
-
My theme (Expound) does not seem to give me the option under Settings/Discussion to add a checkbox for readers that says: notify me of new blog posts.
Is there any way around it? Which free themes offer it?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
