How do I see the list of subscribers to my blog
Blog url: http://lindasummersposey.wordpress.com/ -
You can view the list via a link near the bottom-right of the Site Stats section of your blog’s Dashboard.

I went to the Dashboard, then clicked on Site Stats in the left column. This took took me to a page that had a section called “Totals, Followers and Shares” at the bottom of the LEFT column. Is this what you’re talking about?? The last few lines of this section read as follows:
Followers: 301
6 WordPress.com blog followers. 3 WordPress.com comment followers.
260 Twitter followers. 32 Facebook followers.The above seems to be giving me a total that includes my blog followers, my “comment” followers (whatever that means??), and my Twitter followers and Facebook followers (of my Facebook biz page). The Twitter followers and FB followers are simply the totals following me on those 2 social media — this has nothing to do with anyone following my blog — so it seems totally misleading to even include these people, even though I do send notices of each blog post to my Twitter and FB pages. When I click on the blog followers, it takes me to a list that only includes the followers who have confirmed their subscriptions — that’s not very helpful, because at this beginning stage, I need to know them all! Also, with the comment followers, I only get a number of people who are comment followers for each post — nothing to identify those followers — again, completely useless to me. Are comment followers simply the people who have commented, or does this mean something else?
Am I missing something? Can you help me identify these unidentified people? THANKS!

Followers aren’t considered subscribers to your blog until they’ve confirmed their subscription via email. Those who’ve confirmed their subscriptions will be listed in your “Blog Followers” page.
Regarding the Facebook and Twitter count, this comes from your connection to Twitter and Facebook via Publicize. If your posts are automatically published to your Twitter and Facebook accounts, then your followers/friends on those two sites will be counted among your blog followers.
Comment followers are readers who’ve commented on your blog and selected the option to “Notify me of follow up comments via email.”
I hope this helps to clarify a bit more! Let us know if you have more questions.

I can’t get back to my Dashboard for my current blog, http://www.lindasummersposey.wordpress.com. This blog is associated with the email address, (email visible only to moderators and staff).
WORDPRESS keeps taking me to the page for a previous blog, http://www.lindasummersposeydotcom.wordpress.com, which I never used. Email address for old blog was (email visible only to moderators and staff).
Even when I sign out and sign back in, with my current email address and password, it takes me to the old blog. I can’t go to Manage My Blogs, because it doesn’t recognize my new blog on that page. I need to be able find the Dashboard for my new blog and enter a new post — PLEASE HELP!!
I would like to delete the old blog, http://www.lindasummersposeydotcom.wordpress.com, completely, as I never have used it and never plan to use it. -
OK, I got back to my Dashboard… Now I need to find the list of people who have liked my posts.

Click the link for the specific post, then look between the post and the comment area.
For example, see http://lindasummersposey.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/15-minutes-is-good-for-your-creativity/

Thanks, Macmanx! I finally get that they don’t show up if you just go to the blog — you have to know to click on the title of each post. (If that’s not in the general instructions somewhere, it should be. Maybe I just missed it.) Appreciate your patience. :-)
