   I have had a newsletter for 5 years and have moved it to a wordpress blog. I am trying to get my followers to sign up for the blog. Many people have signed up; however, I have received several emails from people who have had problems.

   One person wrote this: When I clicked on " sign me up" it tool me to a general sun up board, not one specific to your monthly newsletter. Is that right?

   Another this:
   Every time I have tried the sign me up button it gives me the following error. I would love to subscribe but it does not seem to be cooperating.

   Your subscription did not succeed, please try again with a valid email address.

   Any recommendations for what I can tell these folks so that they can subscribe?

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

   Put a live link to your blog so that they can go into it and have a look.

   Hi Vicki,

   Right above the "Sign me up" button there is a text-box; you need to enter your email in this box before clicking the button.

   Please have your followers try that, and let me know if they have any further difficulty. Thanks!

   I cannot locate the place that enables incorporation of a "follow me via email" widget onto my blog.
   I am going around in circles looking for it. Please let me know where it is.
   Thank you, Stefanie
