  I have an email subscriber who wants to unsubscribe, and can’t successfully do so. How can I unsubscribe her or help her to unsubscribe herself?

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

  You cannot do this for her/him. Here are brief instructions for unsubscribing from a blog if the person has a WordPress.com username account:

  1. click the “unsubscribe” link on the emails of the posts received at the very bottom of the emails.
  2. go here > http://wordpress.com/#!/read/edit/ locate and click the “x” next to any blog there to unfollow it and no longer receive posts in the Reader or by email.
  3. go to the blog in question and click the unfollow/follow link on your Admin bar.

  If the person does not have a WordPress.com username account then 1. applies.
  1. click the “unsubscribe” link on the emails of the posts received at the very bottom of the emails.

  I think this should be looked at, for a option for blog owners, so we can remove it ourselves… I’ll ask the woman to go to the bottom of the email and look for the unsubscribe but it would be nice to have the power to remove them… What happens if I die and my blog goes away (eventually) do all those email addresses stay in the database?
  There should be a way to scrub my 300+ email addresses from the DB…
