How do I Send Out Posts By E-Mail?

This question(s) are for both CRYSTAL’S PHOTO-BLOGGING SITE and WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING) . I’ve enabled posts by e-mail since I just got my first e-mail follower but don’t know how to send out post by e-mail.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

When people subscribe to your site they will automatically receive emailed copies of your published posts to the email address that they provide when subscribing.

When you enable the email icon on your site under Sharing https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ the same is also true. https://en-support.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/screen-shot-2015-07-08-at-10-28-18-am.png?w=688

Perhaps you need to read the Follow Blog Widget support doc as you already have that widget displaying in your sidebar https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

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. More to the point is the fact that when email addresses are submitted for the purpose of receiving blog updates that is the only purpose they can be used for.
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-visibilityWe have a blog 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.
The mailchimp and aweber pop-up subscription code provided by those source sites will not operate on WordPress.COM hosted sites. 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
