  I saw and read the thread about issues with the crazy outlook emails. I deleted all (2) email followers to be on the safe.

  My question is there a setting to approval request to follower my blog before they begin following. Mainly I don’t want people to just begin following my blog, I want to approval them first. Thanks.

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

  Staff is aware of the issue and working on it. I’m sorry but all you can do at this time is remove any followers.
