  Hi Nancy,

  You can absolutely do that — you just need to tweak the settings of your Follow Blog Widget.

  From your dashboard, go to Appearance >> Widgets, and scroll down until you see the Follow Blog Widget in your sidebar. Open it, and you’ll see — all the way down — a box that asks “Show total number of followers?” Uncheck that box, and the widget will no longer display the number, only the invitation to follow your blog.

  I hope this helps — let me know if you have any other questions.
