  Is there a way to display the number of followers you have on the blog main page?

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

  Use a follow blog widget and you can select that option to display on it.
  You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widgets by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  Or go to https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers for your wordpress.com subscribers including publicize and your email only subscribers at https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email and you can paste the number into a text widget for display. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:

  These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.
  Logged out users __ Show follow button to logged out users.

  Checking this will present a follow button to logged out users in the bottom corner of their screen.
