  Am I able to add email addresses to my followers? Another words add them my self.

  Also I seem to remember once seeing the email addresses of my current followers somewhere in one of my Dashboard sections, but I can not find it now. Is it accessible to me?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Looks like the supportbot goofed

  Am I able to add email addresses to my followers?

  No – the email subscribe is an opt in system to prevent me from subscribing you to a bunch of blogs – new subscribers need to confirm they want to receive the subscription by clicking on a link – I guess you could log-out then put someones email into the system – but they still need to confirm the subscription

  Look down toward the bottom of the Stats page for followers – takes a couple of clicks to drill down
