  Hi There,

  I have an individual who is not a WordPress user but is following my blog.
  This person is a nuisance and I would prefer that they do not have the ability to follow my blog. Is this an option?
  Is there anyway I can “block” a person?

  The help is much appreciated.
  Thanks.

  Hello Holly!

  Unless your WordPress.com site is set to Private, anyone in or outside of the WordPress.com community can follow your blog. However, if this person is commenting on your site and you wish it to end, please add them to your Comments Blacklist:
