    I need to know if there is a way to block or delete a follower that has signed up to follow one of my blogs via email? I cannot find a way to do this…thanks in advance for the answer.

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

    There is not. The issue is there is no effective way to block someone since IP addresses are no longer unique and each IP address could in some cases have a thousand or more people assigned to it. And even if they were, all someone would have to do is hit a wi-fi hotspot and they are on a different IP address. Email addresses are no good either since it is so easy to get another one. If you deleted them, they could just sign up again, or subscribe to the RSS feed from your site, or simply visit your site in their browser.

    It is sort of like trying to stop someone from walking down your street and looking at your house.
