   Hi,

   I'm new, so forgive an obvious question.

   Can I set up e-mail notification for users when there's a new post on my blog? And if so, how?

   Thanks,

   The blog I need help with is bigcreativeidea.wordpress.com.

   You can use the follow blog widget : http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

   Or you can invite users to follow your blog:

   May I add 2 more ideas please?
   1. 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/

   2. 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 ask those who wish to have their email address "captured" to use it.
