  I am looking for the follow button mentioned on
  https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/embed-follow-button/
  where it says: ‘the Follow Button that you’ve seen in your toolbar for some time now.’
  I haven’t seen it!

  I have tried to embed a follow button instead, but the code generated using the above site does not work. Where should I place this code?

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

  That is an old post. Things have changed. That link in now on the action bar on the bottom right hand corner of the page.

  re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions

  All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.

  Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf.

  You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility

  We have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

  Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp

  Additional information:
  You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
