  I want to know that when someone visits my site. They can easily follow it. I’m not sure if it’s set up correctly…..please let me know

  If someone visits from an android phone or iPhone or laptop, do you they have an easy way to follow? Is there a follow button visible ?

  Love to see a screen shot

  Yes, there is a visible follow blog button in the right hand sidebar. If you would also 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.
