  Can people follow my blog without their own account?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi There,

  If I understand correctly, you want people to follow you by putting in their email addresses and get a notification every time you post a new blog even without them having a WordPress account. You can achieve that by using Follow Blog Widget. It enables your readers to sign up to receive your posts via email.

  Hope this helps!

  Not quite. The follow option is there but even after entering an email address a follower does not see all of the blog posts. All posts are password protected. Is that why?

  Yes, they would need the password to be able to view the post. However, since this is a private blog, there’s no need to password protect your posts as only those you have granted access to your blog will be able to see them.
