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

  If they’re Following your blog they can see it on their dashboard and like it there, and it doesn’t count as a view.

  There are several different ways that readers can start following your blog.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/following/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/followers/

  A follower can click the “like” button when viewing your posts in the Readomatic reader on the home page of WordPress.com without visiting your blog or the Tag surfer http://en.support.wordpress.com/tag-surfer/ An email subscriber can click the “like” button in the email they receive of your new posts without visiting your blog.
