Those of you who host your website on WordPress.com have seen how the “Follow” button works. It sits at the bottom corner of your website and lets you visitors sign up for your latest updates by e-mail.

Follow for WordPress is the plugin you need to implement this feature on your self-hosted WordPress site.
