"Follow" button and an invitation to follow my blog. Possible with my WP blog?
-
My friend has a blog that has a prominent note on his page top right that invites people to subscribe to updates to his blog. Can I have an invitation such as “Enter your email address to receive notifications of new posts by email.” That is followed by a box with “Enter your email address” and a “follow” button. Is that possible on my WordPress blog? Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.
