  Hello!
  My blog is up and running, but the few people I have sent it to for testing cannot all see the ‘Follow’ button, especially on mobiles. It might look like it only shows on iPhones, not Samsung phones. Is that normal? What can we do about it?
  Thank you!!

  Hi there,

  You can add a ‘Follow Blog’ widget to your site, this will let your readers sign up to receive your posts via email. You can do this by following the steps here:

  Hope that helps!

  Thank you very much! yes it did :)
  But what is the technical difference between Follow Blog by subscribing and “Follow button”?

  For folks logged in to WordPress.com, it appears as a Follow button, so they can follow the site in the WordPress.com Reader and configure email notifications there.

  For folks not logged in to WordPress.com, it appears as an email subscription field.
