  Hello. I have a wordpress.com site — http://www.haverfordtech.com. I use the site to support teachers in a school. I”d like teachers to be able to receive email updates. Can they receive these updates without having a wordpress account, or do they need to set up a wordpress account?

  I”ve looked through the forums, but am not sure. I tried to input a list of email addresses, but I could not send it.

  THanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello!
  Two options:
  1. Set-up a subscription button and have teachers manually sign themselves-up.
  See here http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/blog-subscriptions/
  and the follow blog widget here:

  2. Use mail-chimp

  We cannot use plugins on WordPress.com. There are instructions in this post about how to use mailchimp here:
