  Actually if somebody wants to follow the blog, obligatory needs to register and fill the form, that´s limiting the number of followers.
  Do you have any simply way for getting more followers in an easy way?

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

  i will try this again, as you had three of the same posts and when i finished the one i used to write had been closed, so i will do this in a shorter way.

  “followers” for WordPress are similar to say twitter followers. You have to have twitter to follow others and they follow you. So when you see followers on WP, that is why you have to sign up for an account. It is to help fellow WP users on the platform look at one another blogs and websites and interact through there.

  To gain “followers” in a non+WP format, simply link your blog to your social media sites, such as facebook or twitter. Once you make a new blog post it will auto-link to your social accounts and everyone that follows you will see your posts.

  For new readers, you can self promote. If you read other blogs and comment on them, include a link to your blog and maybe others will take a look.

  There are a number of ways that people can follow your site including in the WordPressdotcom Reader or via email or feed reader (I use Feedly). For two of those three methods, they do need to fill in a form – log in for the Reader and fill in the follow blog by email form for email, no need to log in- in order to subscribe.

  @csmoran9 – sorry about that! I try to remove duplicates as quickly as possible if I’m on the site in order to avoid the scenario you mentioned.
