How do I show my number of followers on my blog?

    I can’t figure out how to get my actual blog page that the public sees to display the number of current followers. On my stats page, I can see it and keep track, but I don’t see where to put it on my page. sort of like a “join 150 other followers”. Something like that to get people to join. Do I need to choose a different theme? Thanks for any help!

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

    What you are looking for is the follow blog widget. You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widgets by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

    If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:

    These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.
    Logged out users __ Show follow button to logged out users.

    Checking this will present a follow button to logged out users in the bottom corner of their screen.

    Find Friends Who Use WordPress > http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/find-friends/

    You can customize the contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

    Note: As a spammer prevention you are limited to sending out 10 invitations at one point in time. Then wait and send out 10 more.
