    I want to write a book on wordpress by posting one chapter each week. I want to email this chapter or a link to it to my mailing list of about 500 people. Can I do that from wordpress or do I need to use a mail service such as Mail Chimp?
    In addition is there a way people can sign up for the mailing list? And also I’d like to have an archive of all the chapters and a place for people to leave comments. Since this is overwhelming me, is there someone out there who could set this all up for a fee? That would be great.

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

    WordPress.com doesn’t offer mailing list facilities. You can invite people as followers from Users ->Add New (only 10 at a time), but those people will only receive notifications if they accept the invitation and can cancel their subscription at any time without even notifying you. The other option would be to publish your chapter and manually email the link to your mailing list using an outside service like Mail Chimp.

    As for setting up your blog, it’s actually not that hard to do yourself. Start with these instructions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/

    I’m afraid I can’t advise you on who might be able to help you set it up for a fee.
