  Hi there,

  I’m sorry to hear that. Can you please have your followers check their notification settings here:

  http://wordpress.com/following/edit/

  Also check the Delivery settings in case they checked off blocking all WordPress.com emails here:

  https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/

  As a test, I will follow your blog and see if I receive your post notifications.

  Thanks!

  Thank you! I will see if I can find email addresses for them. My mom is also a follower, but she does not have a wordpress account. Should she still get email updates if she confirmed the follow?

  I sent this to her to double check because she already confirmed and did not receive an update when I posted on Monday.
  One more question: where do you suggest I go to start learning wordpress better (not self-hosted)? I’m not web savvy; starting this blog was a risky step, and I’d like to learn how to make my site into so much more. I not only have work ahead of me in producing content and paintings, but also in learning how to create a successful blog!

  Thank you so much

  Hi there,

  Can you have her check her spam/junk folder? Sometimes are emails end up in there. Also, it’s good to check that she hasn’t blacklisted WordPress in her email filter. I hear of that happening a lot.

  Since, I’m following your blog, I will get an email after your next published post. Follow up with me after and I will check my email.

  As for starting to learning WordPress.com, if you have the time, we do have WordCamps – informal, community based conferences to get a better idea of WordPress. You can find more information about WordCamps in your area here:

  http://central.wordcamp.org/

  If you don’t have the time or ability to attend one, I recommend you go through our new user’s guide:

  In 10 quick steps, you’ll learn about all the best and most useful features of WordPress.com, with lots of screenshots and videos.

  You can also browse our support documentation and check out the forums – you might find the answer you’re looking for.
