  I wanted to make sure my follow button was on the bottom of my homepage for non wordpress users to subscribe and after logging out, I visited my site and the follow button was not there. Can anybody help me with this….. Here is a link to my blog…… http://momslooking2save.wordpress.com
  Thank you!

  Also you will notice that all my heading are wrong. Example….. Heading 1 is correct, when I use heading 2, it displays as 3.

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

  That is the Follow button for people to follow in the WP.com reader. Non-WP users don’t have that. If you want non-WP users to follow your blog, use the RSS widget and the Subscription widget.

  Thanks for your response. I read this article http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/more-traffic-for-your-blog-with-the-follow-button/ so I thought that the follow button for non wordpress members would be at the bottom of my homepage. Am I just confused? Thanks again!!

  You are right.

  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 see here >
