Newbie Blogger – Subscriber options other than email?
-
As a newbie blogger, I am a bit confused about offering subscriber options to my blog. please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject. I have LOTS to learn. Hopefully, I didn’t publish my blog too early.
Today, I received an e-mail from someone who said she’s like to sign up to follow my blog but can only do so via e-mail.
I have added a widget to subscribe to my posts via email. Although not ready, I plan on adding subscribing links to twitter and Pinterest.
While reading other blogs, I have seen where there is a Widget? on many of them that say something like:
Blog Followers
or
My Blog Subscribers etc.
In this area, I can see people who have subscribed to the blogIs there a special Blogger Subscribe widget so my blog can be added to someone’s reading list?
That’s not Blog Roll Right?
Is there another widget or link that I can post on a sidebar and allow bloggers to sign up ? Google Circles?
Sorry about all the questions. I just find this part confusing.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it!

I’m new too, and would love some help directing friends and others to my new blog. I was wondering about connecting it to Facebook when I publish. Do you know if this is even an option?

Use this in your sidebar for email subscriptions:

I believe there is:
If you go to your dashboard you will see an Appearance Tab
Under that tab you will click Widgets
There is a Widget called “Facebook Like Box”
it says, “Display a Facebook Like Box to connect visitors to your Facebook Page”
Click it and drag it to your sidebar
Save or update your changes
It should post on your blogHope that’s right! Good Luck!
