Once Subscribe2 has been activated in your Plugins area you need to go to Settings > Subscribe2 to configure your settings and activate your Subscribe2 widget.

Subscribe2 has quite a few configuration options, so lets explain them one at a time.

Notification Settings

1. ‘Restrict the number of recipients per email to’ — used if a hosting provider imposes limits on out going emails (as a measure to limit spammers). By default, this is set to unlimited; no limit on the number of emails sent to recipients. There is no need on an Edublogs Campus blog to edit this setting.
2. ‘Send Admins notifications for new’ — allows you to decide if you want to receive a notification when a person subscribes and/or unsubscribes. Change this to Neither if you don’t want to receive email notifications of subscription changes.
