  How can I remove someone from following me?
  I have a stalker, and they are following my blog–how can I remove them from receiving updates?

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

  Despite many requests, WP does not provide a way to do this.

  Thanks-guess I will not be blogging with pictures again until this is resolved.

  The reason they do not block anyone is if a blog is public, those followers can still see the content. About all you can do is make your blog private and invite only those you wish to see it. In your case, I think it might be wise since you are posting photos of children.

  Yes, it is a hassle to have to invite people, but it would give you peace of mind.

  In searching past posts about this issue, I found this link with some good info:

  The vast majority of my followers are those I’d rather not follow since I do not know them at all whether online or off, but I know they can see my site even if they were removed. I just write about birds and our birding adventures, so it’s not that big of a deal.
