  How do you remove someone from your followers list ?
  I have a creepy follower!! I just made my blog private but it still shows him as a follower…. How do I remove him/her and not allow them to see my content or receive emails about my content?

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

  You can’t remove followers, unfortunately.

  I would assume that by making the blog private that it should stop the notifications from being sent, but I’m not sure. Someone with more knowledge about that than I would need to chime in.

  gureggu is correct. We cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. Everyone on the internet can view and follow any public blog. That is in fact what the public designation means.

  You can change your blog visibility to “private” http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ Please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/

  Note that you have complete control over everything that’s posted to your blog.
