  I have a friend who would love to follow my blog, but she hasn’t an account on WordPress. Can she still follow my blog? How? And will her mailaddress be private?
  Thank you!

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

  Good Morning – You can install The Follow Blog Widget, and then folks can sign up to follow your blog via their email address. Their email address will not be made public. Let me know if I can help you out any further with this.

  Thank you for your answer!
  I tried installing it, but I think those widgets only work when you have a paid account..? I have a free WordPress, is that the problem?

  Please share the domain of your blog here.

  The Follow Blog Widget is available to use on free WordPress.com accounts.

  Were you able to locate your Customizer? The widget will be added to your footer or side bar (depending on your theme).

  Wait, do you happen to know if and how I can change the name of a category? That would also be very helpful!
  I’m sorry if I’m bothering you
