  Is there a way to get people to follow my blog without entering in a username and password?

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

  Hi,

  I presume that you mean “…without them being required to enter a username and password.”

  Visitors without a WordPress.com account, and members that aren’t logged into a WP.com account, will see a Follow button in the lower right-hand corner of your site, and of all other WordPress.com sites that they visit.

  The option of inviting people to follow your site via My Sites > People > Add, as described in the Inviting Contributors, Followers, and Viewers support page is can only be used to invite WordPress.com members. However, you could personally invite non-members on your own via social media, email, etc.
