  Email subscription. You can add the widget to your website and then anyone can subscribe.

  I forgot this link for you. The RSS Links Widget allows you to add links to your blog’s post and comment RSS feeds in your sidebar. This makes it easy for your readers to stay updated when you post new content or receive new comments. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-links-widget/

  You’re most welcome and best wishes with your blog. As you are new to WordPress.com I can recommend a comprehensive tutorial. The Learn WordPress.com tutorial is divided into progressive levels and presented as a series: http://learn.wordpress.com/

  I have also just started with WP and was wondering how I offer people the opportunity to subscribe to my blog via an RSS feed in addition to the e-mail subscription widget? I don’t want to do the RSS Links Widget, I just want to enable readers to click an RSS button to add it to their RSS feed such as Google Reader. Is that possible or do they have to type it into their Google Reader field themselves? If so, would you recommend mentioning that on the site somewhere or do most people know to do that on their own?

  Thanks!
