non wordpress users required to sign up for wordpress to follow blog

    My non-wordpress followers are being asked to sign up for WORDPRESS to follow my oxygen themed blog.

    According to the follow blog widget description:Note: Followers do not need to be registered with WordPress.com. Anyone following your blog with an email address that’s not associated with a WordPress.com account will be sent details of how to confirm and manage the sites they’re following without needing to register at WordPress.com.

    This is not the case for me. I am being told by my readers that they do not automatically follow my blog because they must become a wordpress user.

    Do I need some type of a plug-in?

    Hi there,

    Which blog are you having issues with? I checked http://cosmicgrape.com/ which is using the Oxygen theme and it worked just fine for me.

    I did notice that the instructions were out of order however! It says to click the purple button and then enter your email address, however you need to enter your email address and then click the button.

    Was that the blog you were having issues with, or was it some other blog?
