  What widget do I use that allows the total number of followers to show? I do see a users widget which if I’m understnading it correctly shows profiles for some of my followers but does it also show a total number of followers?

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

  That data is not found in a widget. It’s found here:
  WordPress.com Followers http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog_subscribers
  Email Followers http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email

  The My Community Widget allows you to show users who have interacted with your WordPress.com site.

  So it cannot be shown on the blog itself, it can only be seen by the administrator?

  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/
  Show total number of followers – When checked, the widget will display the total number of followers, which is the sum of:
  WordPress.com users following your blog
  Any followers from connected Publicize services (Facebook and Twitter)

  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.
