  I’ve received several notifications from WordPress about new subscribers, but they are anonymous—I’m merely told that “someone” has subscribed to my blog.
  I’m happy to have more followers—named or unnamed—but I’m curious: How does a person subscribe to a blog anonymously?

  Thanks,
  Marci

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

  Each time you publish new content on your blog, your followers receive an update, either on their Read Blogs page or via email (or both, depending on their settings). There are several different ways that readers can start following your blog.
  
  Note that followers do not need to be registered with WordPress.com. Anyone following your blog with an email address that’s not associated with a WordPress.com account will be sent details of how to confirm and manage the sites they’re following without needing to register at WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/followers/
