  Hi there!

  You can see everyone who’s following your blog by visiting your Stats page in your dashboard. Then scroll down to the Followers module and click on the +Blog icon.

  If you’re trying to display your followers on your site, you may be interested in the My Community widget. This widget will display a subset of the users on your blog. You can select to include likes, follows, and comments.

  Let me know if you had something else in mind!

  Shawna –

  Thanks! this is real helpful… and it works too. I guess my confusion came from the the fact that the widget that supports sign-up on my blog says there are 500+ subscribers… which the lists (wordpress.com and e-mail only follows) does not support….

  I have also encountered another problem… a friend signed up and received a confirmation e-mail. when he pressed on the “confirm” hypertext… nothing happened… so he couldn’t sign up :( is there any way i can manually sign him up or troubleshoot the widget?

  The follower count includes your followers on any connected social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. You can see the followers from these accounts listed in the Followers module on your Stats page.

  Did they click the confirmation on a mobile device? If so, can you have them try on a computer instead? Do they have a WordPress.com account or were they just signing up for emails?
