  I have recently set up a blog and I’m getting quite a few emails saying ‘(email visible only to moderators and staff) is following your blog’, but it isn’t a real follower. Does anyone else have this?
  Thank you

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

  Hi there,

  Sorry for the inconvenience, this is a known issue and the WordPress.com team is working on fixing this as we speak.
  I am adding modlook to this thread, so someone from staff can check and fix this issue for you.

  Thanks!

  thanks guys! Also ..is there some way of putting a link to the help on the front page? I know the focus is on blogging, but the forums are a bit of a challenge to get to. I’m not entirely stupid when it comes to computers, but I had a bit of trouble finding this spot – and I’m sure I’ve duplicated the issue because I couldn’t see other posts.

  Just a suggestion..
  Thank you
