  Do the former followers of my formerly public blog do still get notification-e-mails, even if my blog is changed to private? What do the get and what will they be able to see?

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

  No they don’t. Reading this will clarify that for you > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/

  Thank you so much, timethief! That was really helpful.

  There’s only one little doubt remaining:

  If I change my blog one day back to public, will my former followers get notified about all the stuff I wrote meanwhile the blog was private? I´m not concerned about that they can read it then, that`s okay, but I don´t want to have them sent loads of e-mail-notifications of articles written in the past.

  Thank you a lot.
