Follow blog widget
-
Hello. I have a WP.com blog that shows a full range of widgets, specifically the Follow button. I also have a non WP.com site with my own domain hosted by GoDaddy. This site includes a WP blog page, but the widget selection for this page is much more limited and no Follow blog button. How do I install a Follow button and widget on my owned domain site? Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.
The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.
Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

Thanks – Jetpack seems to do it. I don’t think I have anything to do with WordPress.org as my site is hosted on a WordPress.com-managed site under GoDaddy. There’s is no reference to WP.org anywhere in my dashboard – only WP.com
I found the tools I need after installing Jetpack. -

Then the site is NOT hosted by wordpress.COM.

No, it’s not. As I said, it’s hosted by GoDaddy, but the dashboard is all WP. Sorry if I’m on the wrong forum.
-
You are correct – one of my sites is hosted under WP.com and the other registered under WP.org. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for clearing that up.

You’re welcome.
Note that support for wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page is not provided by wordpress.COM.
