    Hi,

    That’s a feature of being hosted on WordPress.com. You can add the Jetpack plugin to your self-hosted site to get a widget in your sidebar that visitors can use to follow your site as well as add a “Follow this blog” checkbox that commenters can check when the leave a comment.

    There are some other plugins that, in addition to that, add on a “Follow” button in the lower-right of your site while using Jetpack (akin to WordPress.com sites display when logged out). An example of a plugin that does this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/follow-button-for-jetpack/

    Cheers!
