  Hello,

  Do you want to send a link to others to follow your blog?

  If so, you can send your blog address (https://stjarnarvebloggen.home.blog), and ask them to click the Följ button on the “Följ bloggen via E-post” section on the sidebar.

  Hello Santos!

  If you are looking to invite people to follow your site, simply go to your WordPress dashboard and follow these steps:

  1. On your left panel, you’ll see three main thigs you can do: Manage, Personalize and Configure; under “Configure”, click on “People”;

  2. That will open a screen that allows you to invite people, so:
  1) write the email or WordPress username of the people you want to invite; 2) from the dropdown list, select the role you’d like to assign them (you’ll see a link under this dropdown list where you can learn more about roles); and 3) write a custom message.

  3. Finally, click on “Send invitation” ;)

  I hope this helps!

  Happy blogging :)

  Did you double check the email address? Login out and login back in?

  Santos, the address you need to write is an email (such us (email visible only to moderators and staff)) or a WordPress user. What you are writing now, is the URL of a blog.

  Hi @santosbloom, @lalyyork is correct. You’ll send invitations to individuals rather than to a site.

  Since the sample email address was redacted from everyone but staff, I’ll share it here:

  (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  And of course the email address could be at gmail, hotmail, or whatever other provider. But it will always have a username, an at sign, and something dot something — all with no spaces in between.

  As for WordPress.com usernames, be sure you’re entering the usernames rather than the sites. They won’t have any spaces, dots, or other special characters.

  And, thank you @lalyyork. We just put the email address in “code” tags so it will not be redacted. Cheers :)
