Follow widget

Why doesn’t my site have a follow widget?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions
All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.
Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf.
You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityWe have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.
Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp
Additional information:
You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/Read more at https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=following

Thanks! Problem is, I go through the mail chimp steps and where I’m supposed to find the pop-up widget in the customize screen, there is none.

Hi there!
To add the MailChimp code to your site follow the steps bellow:
1. Open the Customizer tool by going to My Site and then clicking on the Customize button next to Themes on the left bar.
Here is a direct link to it: https://exejesuscom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php
2. Click on Widgets tab and then choose a widgets area (sidebar or footer1,2 or 3)
3. Click on Add a Widget button.
4. Search for MailChimp Subscriber Popup in the search box in the panel to the right
5. Paste the MailChimp code inside the code area.
6. Click on the Save&Publish button.Cheers!

I appreciate that. However, the link you provided isn’t for my website. I noticed above that for some reason it attached a link to my original post that is old and unused. I currently operate a wordpress website at exejesus.com. It is hosted through GoDaddy so that might have an effect on this, I’m not sure. I have gone through the steps you listed above on the exejesus.com customizer page and there is no option for a follow button or a mail chimp widget. I have no idea why.

Yes it does have an effect. Your site isn’t hosted at WordPress.com anymore and this is the support forum for WordPress.com sites only. The MailChimp widget is only available for WordPress.com sites too, that’s why you don’t see it. The link I sent you was for the old WordPress.com site.
Cheers!
