  i’m not sure how to create this icon that allows or rather blatantly asks people to join my email list. nor how to set that up in gmail.
  ‘join my mailing list and get blah blah blah information is what i’d like to do.

  Hi –

  No worries. We are happy to help.

  The first thing I’d suggest is adding the Follow Blog widget to your site. That’s where folks can sign up to follow your blog with their email address. Folks that have a WordPress.com account will see a +follow button automatically when they visit your site and they can choose to follow it that way. Then, when you make new posts, they will see them in their WordPress.com Reader.

  Another option is to set up MailChimp pop up. That is a box that will pop up when folks come to your site for the first time.
