    Hi!
    Do you all have any themes where if someone visits my page, they will have a textbox emerging that prompts them to sign up for updates?

    If so, could you let me know where to find those themes.

    Also, is there a theme that lets you embed a video that plays or even appears when they visit the site?

    Thanks.

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

    What follows are not theme dependent features.

    When people subscribe to your site they will automatically receive emailed copies of your published posts to the valid email address that they provide when subscribing.

    re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions

    All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.

    Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf. More to the point is the fact that when email addresses are submitted for the purpose of receiving blog updates that is the only purpose they can be used for.

    You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

    Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.

    We have a blog subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

    The mailchimp and aweber pop-up subscription code provided by those source sites will not operate on WordPress.COM hosted sites. Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp

    Your wordpress.com subscribers will be found here

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers

    * Replace NAME_OF_BLOG with the actual name of the blog.

    Note that the title there includes Publicize followers from social networks. https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

    Your email only subscribers will be found here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email

    Also, note that published posts do not display in the WordPress.COM Reader forever. Posts only display in the WordPress.COM Reader for 60 days.

    Hi @jesspryce, we do have the MailChimp widget, which will bring up a sign-up form popup, but the MailChimp system is not tied into our own email subscription system. We do not have a popup feature for our internal email subscription system.

    On the video, you may want to look at our Twenty Seventeen theme, which supports videos in the header. You can read about the video header feature in it under Header Media, below the two screenshots.

    You can also put the video into a post and set that post as a Sticky Post and it will appear as a “featured” post at the top of your main page above the other posts.
