  Hi
  I changed my email address a while ago from hotmail to gmail. I can sign in using the new email address and I get most notifications sent to the new email address, but when someone “follows” my blog, the email notification goes to my old hotmail account, not the new gmail account, have I missed something that I need to change or has something gone peculiar with my account?

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

  You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.

  Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

  Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

  Try the change here first > http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/
