For users who are starting from scratch, WordPress.com added a streamlined flow to create a newsletter site in minutes. Users will be able to choose an accent color, add a logo, pencil in a quick description, give the newsletter a name, and it is ready for writing. Users who already have a WordPress.com website can also simply let their audience subscribe to the newsletter.
Users can add a Subscribe Block or one of our Newsletter Subscription Patterns to their site. Readers who subscribe by adding their email addresses will be notified whenever a new post is published.
