  I have 32 facebook Likes and then 31 email followers, so do I have 63 followers or 31? My site stats shows 32, but it only lists 18 facebook followers, and when I go to my blog it says 32..

  Sorry dumb question, but I can not seem to find the answer and I am new to WP…

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

  You’ll have to connect to facebbok again to make WordPress show your new likes. Only If you connect to facebbok via publicize then your fans are counted as followers.
  Wordpress is not so weak in maths :)

  Please try the full reconnect procedure for publicize detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook including step 3 (removing the FB app), which is probably the most important step.

  See it here
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#facebook
  In the last step it will ask you with whom you want to publicize. You can chose your FB account or page there.
  It seems you have not publicize before. That’s why your FB followers were not counted.
