  Whenever I am asking my friends to view and follow my website, it asks for a login why?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there!

  If you’re asking people to follow your blog by clicking the “follow” button as indicated below, that’s a WordPress.com-specific feature that requires a WordPress.com user account to use as it uses the WordPress.com Reader.

  

  If you instead want to have people follow your blog by entering their email address to receive an email every time you make a new post, then you would want to use the Subscription Block to add that form to your site.

  I hope that clarifies things! Let us know if you have any other questions.
