  I’d like to block corporate followers from my blog. I’ve recently discovered that Carhartt is following my site, but this is only for the sake of advertisting, which I resent. I also have at least one other follower, a realtor, who follows myriad sites for the sake of networking. I’d like to, at the very least, block corporations from following as they will no doubt find a way to use my information in ways that I do not approve.

  Thank you,

  Nice that you posted my name. And wrong blog. Still, the question remains.

  While you aren’t able to remove followers from your public site you are able to control your privacy options at Settings -> Privacy. There you can set a site to private and have full control over who can access and subscribe to content. We have more details about this at:

  For public blogs anyone can subscribe and while each user can remove their own subscriptions we aren’t able to manually remove followers for you.
