  This is the second time this has happened. Yesterday I had close to 1300 subscribers and today the count is 720.

  Hi there!

  The follower count that appears on your Follow Blog widget is a total of your email, WordPress.com, and Publicize followers. Looking at your Publicize records your Google+ and LinkedIn connections are currently reporting back 0 followers although the connection is working — whereas the profiles they’re connected to have 90 and ‘500+’ followers, respectively.

  As a first step, could you disconnect and reconnect your LinkedIn and Google+ sharing connections?

  Here are steps on doing that:

  Let me know if that remedies the issue. If not, it’s possible LinkedIn and Google+ launched new changes in how they report follower counts and I’ll alert the team about it.
