  on my “blogs I follow” widget, only wordpress blogs are listed, why aren’t the others listed?
  How do I get non-wordpress blogs to show on my grid?

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

  Self-hosted blogs should be showing up in the widget you mention. Can you try removing them and re-adding them via your Edit Blogs I Follow page here?

  https://wordpress.com/following/edit/

  Please let me know if that doesn’t add the blogs to your widget!

  I still don’t see them listed. I removed them and then added them back in, actually typed them in instead of copy/paste, which is what I did last time.
  Please help!

  Hi there,

  So, some of the blogs you follow are left out of the grid view. However, they are present in the list view (you can make this switch from your Widgets page). This is the intended behavior if a blog administrator does not have a Gravatar account setup. So, if you follow a self-hosted blog that is not on WordPress.com and the owner has not setup a Gravatar account, the widget doesn’t have an image to display. Therefore, it omits the site from the grid view.

  There isn’t a way to force the widget to display these blogs unless you switch to the list view.

  Please let me know if you need anything else!
