  Why am I getting all these new blogs on my theme cluttering my personal blog feed that I invited? It’s horrible!!! Now It’s hard to find the ones I like. Help! I kept deleting the nasties and more pop ups come up like an uncontrollable virus.

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

  Where do you see all these new blogs? What does this mean: “my personal blog feed that I invited”?

  They are coming up on “Blogs I Follow.” Usually I would see them on the left side of the screen when I first started on WP, but for the past few days these unrequested, unfollowed blogs related to my photography theme were cluttering the scrolling space of the blogs I do follow. Usually it was one or two, but last night there were multiples ( at least 6). That’s why I sent this message for support. I deleted them and today there are no new ones. Is it normal for this to happen?

  No. “Blogs I Follow” should display only those blogs/websites which you have actively chosen to follow. I’ve never heard of blogs that you didn’t chose to follow being added to the list. You can manage the blogs that you follow, here: https://wordpress.com/following/edit/, though I guess you’ve been there since you said you deleted some today.

  Is it the Blogs I Follow widget that you are referring to?
  If the answer is yes and you have followed blogs it will take time for that data to update. As well as waiting for that updating to happen, you will want to clear your browser cache so you are not viewing a cached version of your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache

  Thank-you timethief. Great advice. Didn’t know it takes time for data to update. All is good!
