  Hi Grace,

  Thanks for doing this transfer, all are back no. Can you also advise is there a URL that I can tweet that once clicked will let someone follow my blog.

  Something like:

  “Please click this link to follow my blog URL..com”

  Thanks again

  Hi Colm,

  I’m assuming you are speaking about your WordPress.org blog?

  You can find support for your self-hosted WordPress site here:

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  http://codex.wordpress.org/

  I did a quick search and found this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/follow/

  Hope this helps!

  Hi Grace,

  Yes I am speaking about my dot org one here, but I have an email subscription already but I wanted to know is there an direct URL link than i can give to people that they can click.

  i.e. when they click it they are auto subscribed or auto following, very handy for Twitter.

  Thanks

  I’m sorry, but I’m not really sure about this since it’s a WordPress.org site. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  Check here to learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I would ask this question in the support forums of WordPress.org here.

  Cheers!
