  Hi Rachael,

  Adapted from the Subscriptions and Newsletters support page:

  • Logged in users of WordPress.com can subscribe to your site by clicking the Follow button in their admin bar. See the How to Follow Blogs section of the Following Blogs support page.
  • Logged out readers can click the Follow button in the lower right-hand corner of your blog’s home page. For more information about this, see the If you do not have a WordPress.com account section of the Following Blogs support page.
  • To make it more obvious how to follow your blog, you can put the Follow Blog Widget in your sidebar or footer area.
  • There is also a Follow Button Widget available, with no corresponding support page.
  • You can also use the Blog Subscription Shortcode to add a follow blog form to any post or page of your blog.
  • See also the External Follow Button support page.

  Hope that helps.

  Regards,
  doc

  As the My Followers support page says:

  When someone follows your site, each time you publish new content on your blog they receive an update in their Reader, via email, or both depending on their settings.

  The settings referred to, for WordPress.com members, are at My Profile (https://wordpress.com/me/) –> Notification Settings (https://wordpress.com/me/notifications).

  The Subscriptions and Newsletters support page also says:

  Once readers have followed your blog, they can elect to receive an email each time you post, or to receive daily or weekly digests of all of your new posts.

  Subscription delivery settings for WordPress.com members are at the following places:

  • My Profile –> Notification Settings –> Reader Subscriptions (https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions)
  • Reader/Followed Sites (https://wordpress.com) –> Manage (https://wordpress.com/following/manage)
