notifying non-wordpress followers of new post
-
Is it possible with a free account and free theme to send out emails to people alerting them that a new article has been posted? I have friends asking me to let them know when I update my blog by email and they aren’t members of WordPress. If there isn’t a way to do it within the system would I be able to add something like Mailchimp in order to do this and build a larger following?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

They will need to subscribe to your blog to receive updates when you publish. See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Note: Readers who are logged in to WordPress.com can also follow your blog using the follow button in the top toolbar. Readers not logged in to WordPress.com will see a follow button on the bottom right corner of your site if you have the follow blog button activated at Settings -> Reading.
You cannot use the MailChimp embed code and cannot create a pop-up on a wordpress.COM hosted blog. You can create a sign up page on MailChimp only.
If you want to use MailChimp with your WordPress.com site here’s the info from MailChimp Support http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-add-a-mailchimp-signup-form-to-your-wordpress-blog

Thank you very much! I didn’t know non-users could still follow a blog. Thanks for your help and the links to use.
