SUBSCRIBE TO MY BLOG
-
I’m very new to this, and I’m trying to figure out how people can subscribe to my blog if they’re not on wordpress…I want my friends and family to be able to subscribe so they get an email saying there’s a new entry with a link to click…how do I set that up!
Help!!
Thanks!!

I have the same/similar question — what I want to put on the left column of my blog is that little orange & white logo with the word “Subscribe” next to it. I am new to blogging so my understanding of the language is somewhat limited! Your help navigating through this would be most appreciated.

Simply send your readers your RSS feed. They can then subscribe to it. Your RSS feed is your blog address plus /feed.
This way, every time you update your blog,your readers will get an update.In most updated web browsers, surfers can subscribe right from their browser by clicking the orange RSS icon.

I follow the instructions from http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/put-your-feed-in-your-sidebar/ but when I add the text widget I don’t see any “blue lines”, only “edit”, which I click on. I then see an assumed subject line space, and a body. I enter the following in the subject: <img src=”image-location” /> I don’t understand where to insert the image link for the rss feed icon.
I want them to be able to subscribe from the webpage, not the windows task bar.Forgive me, this is all new to me, I’m probably missing the plot somewhere, but I’d appreciate the assistance!

Perhaps you need to start with understanding what a text widget is. http://support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

I can see how the faq is not entirely clear — do you know any basic HTML? That will help you here.
Type the code or copy and paste this:
in the BODY of the text widget. (The code supplied in the FAQ has an extra space lodged after the image src, so don’t copy that.)
Remove “your-blog-name” and type in your blog’s name (i.e. “jerryinjozi”)
Scroll down and look at the images for the RSS feed. Maybe you like big and blue. Maybe you like little and pink. Whichever image/icon you like, copy the “http://…” code next to it.
Replace “image-location” with the code you copied. Keep the quotation marks around it.
Now, if you want to say “Subscribe” or some such language to the right of the icon, write that word after the last bracket in the code.
Hope this helps.

lizzielove – first, you only copied part of it. And second, a blog’s name is not just “jerryinjozi”

This is very helpful for a subscribe link, but is there a way for fans of my blog to get an email when I post something new?

Hi guys,
Uhm… Why does this happen?
I click to add a text widget.
I click on the blue lines or edit button.
…and then it’s gone…
??Some of the other widgets are working, but the text field that supposedly should show, just disappears…?
