  I have a button in my theme (refur) that I want to turn into a ‘follow’ button. On clicking it goes to a customizable link.

  Is there a text link I can use so that people can click it to follow my blog?

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

  Hello astroinaction,

  The link below is to one of our WordPress.com support pages. This one in particular gives instructions on how to install a follow button.

  Thanks for the response!

  Could I specify some standard link so a user who clicks it will become a follower?

  the follow blog Widget goes in the sidebar – it is a turnkey thing – when someone clicks on the link the work is auto – you can’t really put one on a individual page or post unless the link goes to a custom page on something like MailChimp
