  I have a follower on my blog who has a very disturbing and highly inflammatory blog.

  I do not want them as a follower.

  How do I delete them as a follower? How do I bar them from becoming a follower again?

  Many thanks in advance for any help.

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

  Barring a follower is not possible because anyone can follow a public blog.

  However, you should be able to remove them using these steps:

  Go to your Followers page at https://wordpress.com/people/followers/annikaperry.wordpress.com

  Click on the red REMOVE link next to the follower you wish to remove.

  Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

  Hello annikaperry
  you cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. However, please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/

  Thank you for your comments and help.

  I have now been able to remove the follower, so thank you for that link.

  I will also read up about private blogs and see how much use that can be for me.

  Thanks again.
