  Is there a way to view how many followers you have and who they are?

  You can view your followers via this link http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog_subscribers

  Go to your site stats page and click “Totals, Followers & Shares”
  Click the Blog link under the number and the Site Stats » My Followers page will open. Click the Email Followers link.
  http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/
  http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog_subscribers
  http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email

  The subscriber stats on your site stats page show you all the users that have active email subscriptions to your blog using the built-in email notification system on WordPress.com. They don’t include users that subscribed using a third-party subscription service or using RSS.

  P.S. You cannot obtain any information that personally identifies any of your followers. This is a privacy issue. What’s required for registering here is an email address only and that email address is for many of us a throwaway email address.

  thank you! I was wanting to know how many followers I had and if they were any of my friends…which I can tell from the e-mail address. I discovered that I have a few now :) and surprisingly a couple of them are people I don’t know…which to me is neat! Thank you again for you help!
