  Can others see the blogs I follow?

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

  No, other users cannot see the blogs you follow unless you use the Blogs I Follow widget on your sidebar:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/blogs-i-follow-widget/

  If you don’t use that, the blogs you follow remains private with one exception. Blog owners can see when you have followed their blog as they have access to a list of their WordPress.com and email-only followers. Does that make sense?

  Yes! It does. Thanks. Gah. One more question. Can folks look up my blog name and see where I’ve commented? I guess I’m just asking about how confidential my life is now that I’ve opened a blog.

  Hi there,

  Other users will not be able to trace your user profile and find out where else you have commented. However, your comments (provided you comment via logging into WordPress.com) will display your image and a link back to your blog. So, if they see your comment, they can find your blog, but not the other way around.
