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

  Hi, we do have a subscribe by email option as well as an option to subscribe via Mail Chimp.

  We can also create forms:

  Have you thought about setting up a test site to try these options out?

  Thank you supernovia! The link on how to create forms exactly answered my question and shows WordPress would work very well for me. If I can figure out how to set up a “test” site I will do so as well! Very good information. Again, thank you!!!

  To make a test site, visit this link and just create another free site in your account. Once you’ve done that, you can switch to this new site via My Sites ->Switch Site. I’d also recommend you set your test site to private – you can do that via Settings after you switch to that site.
