  I cannot get the follow button for my blog to display properly. It says “Follow andthisreallyhappened on wordpress.com” and then has a lot of code after it. I’ve tried enabling cookies for the site and that didn’t work either. I’ve also been posting it in the HTML are of my blog. Please help!
  Thank you!

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

  Where did the code for that follow button come from?

  The follow button that WordPress.com provides is meant to be added to your theme’s sidebar or footer widget area.

  Is there a way to get the follow button to post on FB? I did finally get the button on my webpage. Thank you! There is a generate follow button page to give you code to post in HTML. But I cannot seem to get it to work anywhere.
