 * Hello!
    I have been trying to get help from wordpress.org but I never get answered.
   I get emails from wordpress saying there is a new user registration. what does
   that mean exactly? Also, is there a way to implement newsletters to the blog?
 * Thanks!!

 * That means that you still have user registration enabled via Settings -> General
   in your blog’s Dashboard.
 * If you don’t need anyone to register for your blog, there is no need to have 
   that enabled. Just disable ti via Settings -> General and remove any users you
   don’t recognize via the Users section of your blog’s Dashboard.
 * Regarding newsletters, there are several plugins for this: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/newsletter](http://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/newsletter)

 * Hi, ok I see that but what does it mean?
    Do they get an email from my blog every
   time there’s a post or what?

 * It doesn’t mean anything unless you have provided functionality for it. WordPress
   provides the registration system, you have to provide plugins that make use of
   it, like subscription plugins, forums, etc.
 * The only thing WordPress can use the general registration system for out of the
   box is requiring registration to comment.
 * If you don’t require that, and you haven’t added any plugins to make use of registration,
   you might as well turn it off via Settings -> General in your blog’s Dashboard.

 * I just downloaded the newsletter manager plugin so that means I can use the registration
   to capture emails for the newsletter?
    Sorry, it’s the first time I’m using something
   like this Thanks!

 * I don’t think so, that plugin appears to have its own registration system.
 * In general, it’s just best to disable registration via Settings -> General, delete
   any current Users you are unfamiliar with now, and don’t enable registration 
   again until you specifically encounter something that makes use of it.
