  You don’t add any blogs to the widget. The Follow Blog Widget enables your readers sign up to receive your posts via email.

  Whoops! I forgot about the The Blogs I Follow Widget. It allows you to list some of the blogs that you are following via the WordPress.com Reader in your sidebar. But once again you dodn’t eneter blogs the software will supply the blogs you follow dtata that’s displayed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/blogs-i-follow-widget/

  I’m not speaking of the “Follow Blog” widget. I’m referring to the “Blogs that I Follow” widget. The links that I’m interested in that my followers can link to.

  But how do you link those blogs through the software specifically when it is a non-wordpress site you are wanting to follow?

  BTW…thanks very much for responding to my question. :o)

  When you follow a blog on WordPress.com the software records that and the Blogs I Follow Widget displays it.

  Thanks timethief,

  I’ve already all these links for support. If you go to the last link you posted for support it says when following a blog not on wordpress there should be an “edit” button to add the blogs I follow. I do not have this edit button therefore can’t add the blogs I follow. That is what I am referring to.

  Are you the Admin of the blog in question?
  P.S. I flagged this thread for Staff attention.

  Hey there,

  Can you access the list directly, via this URL:
  http://wordpress.com/#!/read/edit/

  Also, can you please let me know what operating system and browser version you’re using so I can try to reproduce the issue?

  Best,
  P.
