How do you turn off subscriber email notifications for new posts?

How do you turn off subscriber email notifications for new posts? i.e. how can I do a post without it automatically being emailed out to people? I still want it on the blog – just not emailed. This is a school related blog and people are happy to go to the blog and not be emailed.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can do that by setting your site to be private, making the post, and then setting the site to be public again. It’s a little roundabout, but the notification setup is designed to promote posts, not hide them.

Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.

Great – thanks. I get that, but sometimes I’d like to use posts rather than pages and don’t want to inundate people with emails!! I’ll try your suggestion. Appreciate the prompt response.
I have another couple of issues – different topics – do I need to start again with new questions?

How do you do an excerpt with ‘more’ in pages – I can see how you do it with posts but it says you can’t use the more tag for pages.
-
The instructions you read are correct, the “more” tag does not work with pages, only posts.
What are you trying to do specifically? Could this help the situation:
-
I want to put up resources for parents but rather than have all the detail on the page I want to use ‘more’ so they can unpack further info if they want. I have already broken up topics into pages but there are potentially a lot of resources per topic. I don’t want the page to look to text dense or be too long. Hence the ‘more’ idea. This is static info so page is better than post.
-
I think your best bet is to make more pages with the topics drilled down further and then link to those from a “overview” type of page.
Does that make sense?
-
What’s the sensible limit to the number of pages – I keep reading how too many pages will slow down a site.

On various forums when I was googling trying to find the answer to my issues, but I never know how much to trust this stuff. While I have you there, tell me if you want me to stop :) – for another cause I have an old blogger site which I am transferring to a wordpress one – I’d like to bring across all the old posts going back some years as a historical archive (it’s for a community garden) – can you direct me to a help page on that. Also is there a simple way for me to bring across all the images – there are quite a lot. My knowledge is pretty basic as you can tell – so I need it to be simple :) I have already cut and pasted the info which wasn’t a lot – just the old posts and images that are the issue. New wordpress site is mosmancommunitygardeners.com.au Many thanks

Have you read this support document on importing from blogger:

Regarding number of pages on a site. In general, I would not worry about that. Images, embeds and overall page length are far more likely culprits as far as a slow loading site than number of pages. After all, think about how many pages sites like amazon.com or espn.com have.
