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

If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts see here >
http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/more-traffic-for-your-blog-with-the-follow-button/

You can set up a customized contact form http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a static page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ or in a text widget http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/ and above that form you can clearly state that you are asking for those who wish to have their email address "captured" to use it.

Only those with WordPress.org installs can use plugins http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

I heard about this excellent plugin for collecting emails on your wordpress blog, and so I downloaded the Opt-in plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-opt-in/installation/

But I have no idea where to "upload the wp-opt-in folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder"

What is all that??

Thanks
