  Hi,
  It would be really appreciable if you can guide me in setting up a follow button in lower right-hand corner of my self hosted wordpress site.
  That small button is really useful for logged in users to follow blogs. That is available in wordpress.com sites, but not in self hosted sites even though Jetpack is enabled.
  Thanking in advance
  Akhila

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

  self hosted wordpress site.

  That site is not hosted by wordpress.COM. It is not on our servers. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  re: wordpress.org support
  The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

  re: Jetpack support
  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

  Hi there, the Action bar can only be found on WordPressdotcom sites (for now).

  If you want people to be able to follow your standalone WP (org) site more easily, you can add the jetpack Subscriptions module and widget to your site. More about that here: https://jetpack.com/support/subscriptions/

  For any other questions about your self-hosted site, please refer to the links that timethief has provided you.
