Pop Up Plugin
-
I would love to be able to have the option to create a pop up on my site, that encourages people to subscribe, or notifies them of exciting updates/posts/content. From my research I’ve found these can encourage more subscribers and grow your readership. That’s something I’d love to be able to build on.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.
Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. Permalink structure cannot be changed on sites hosted by wordpress.com
For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

re: wordpress.COM hosted blog subscriptions
All that’s required to follow any blog is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.
Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf.
You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widgets by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityWe have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.
Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp
Additional information:
You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/Read more at https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=following

Hi,
Sorry – perhaps I’ve found myself in the wrong place!
I clicked through to a link here on wordpress.COM to provide suggestions about additions etc that could be considered to be added to the hosting site. I wasn’t suggesting plugins as such, but rather the option to have pop up windows.
I’m aware of the difference between wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG and absolutely understand that using a wordpress.COM site means that plugins etc aren’t able to be installed. I also know that those only apply to wordpress.ORG.
I currently already have the follow button and subscriber field active on my site.
If the link I found took me to the wrong place or I misunderstood that’s my mistake.
I appreciate the links to additional information/options.
