  Hi bwgcnm,

  There are a couple ways you could do this.
  The first is they could follow your blog, that way they would automatically get updates in their email.

  The other option is you could use the share buttons on your site.
  There is one for email, you could click that and send it to which ever address you would like.

  Hope that helps.

  I have gone to the sharing buttons and see the email button, but when I click on it nothing happens!

  Here is a screen shot of what it should look like.

  It should just produce a little box right below the button that has a spot for the email address and a captcha to prevent spam.

  If you’re not seeing that, what browser/version are you using and on what device?
  If you’re not sure you could check via this website https://www.whatismybrowser.com/

  Let me know.

  I am using Chrome 36 on Windows 8.1. I also tried with Internet Explorer 11. I finally found the box you were describing. It seems as though you can only send by email after you have posted? Is that correct? I also tried to send to multiple addresses, but they did not go. I tried separating them with both commas and semicolons. Suggestions?

  Thanks for your help!

  Your followers can subscribe to receive your posts by email and they can control the frequency of receipt.

  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/

  If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:

  These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.
  Logged out users __ Show follow button to logged out users.

  Checking this will present a follow button to logged out users in the bottom corner of their screen.
