  Hi, I love the follow button and have put it on our first page. My question is, we have several different writers on our site and i am wondering if it’s possible to give each writer their own follow button?

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

  If you are asking about the follow blog widget, then in fact when anyone subscribes to the RSS Feed URL they will get every post published on the blog by email regardless of which author published 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/

  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.

  If you want to have readers follow the posts of individual authors that can be done by following the author’s RSS Feed in a feed reader.
