Email Updates – Default on "free" wordpress?

    Hi All

    On the “free” (non-hosted) wordpress it appears that there is an option to subscribe by email to new blog posts.

    Have I missed something with the hosted version or is this not part of the default installation? I just wanted to double check that there isn’t a setting to turn this on.

    I guess that if its not there by default I’d need to you a plugin for this?

    Appreciated

    If you’re talking about a self-hosted WordPress installation (not WordPress.COM) then you’ve missed something. 😉

    That functionality is added via plugin.

    If you are talking about a WordPress.COM blog, then you are in the wrong forum ask over there about that.

    Hi Jan – thanks for the reply.

    Just to clarify – on the “.com” wordpress this feature was set up automatically.

    On the self hosted (not .com) it isn’t.

    It’s actually the “follow” feature – I’m going to take a closer look now at how to get that up and running on a self install.

    Just to follow this up – as I thought this feature isn’t automatically added to the self hosted version. I’m guessing it could cause problems with it being used to send out loads of emails which might be problematic depending on the hosting. Plus there must be a way of unsubscribing / dealing with bounces.
