  Hello everyone :)

  Thank you for taking a moment to read this post, I appreciate it.

  I’m writing because I am unable to follow blogs. As a paranormal romance author who relies upon blogging to build my author platform, the ability to follow back my readers and participate in their book launches, promotions, and blog tours is essential to my business.

  Upon researching this problem, I learned that following a large amount of people in a short amount of time can cause one to lose their ability to follow blogs, as this is a method that spammers often use to gain a following.

  I did not realize that by following many people, I may be abusing WordPress’ system. I apologize for my ignorance, and I will change my strategy for reaching my readers in the future.

  Is there any way I can regain the ability to follow blogs?

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

  Best,
  Liv

  Hi Liv, yes, following too many in too short of a time can trigger a follow block. I have re-enabled follows for you.
