  Hello,

  I have created a free wordpress.com blog and added the widget “bouton s’abonner” (dow right on the page). However, when I clic on that button, nothing happens, it does not work. Could you help ?

  Entrez et voyagez avec nous !

  thank you
  Gwenaël

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

  Hi Gwenaël!

  The widget button you refer to is a Follow Button, it enables your readers to follow your blog. It either immediately results in a logged WordPress.com member becoming a follower or asks a nonmember to provide an email address where posts may be sent. Please have a look at the relevant support guide about it:

  Hope this helps!

  hello again,

  I still do not understand something…
  When I am unlogged from wordpress, I can see 2 “follow button” frame:
  1) one in blue (below the picture gallery)
  2) one in white that moves along as we scroll on the screen

  If I click on the blue frame, it seems that I cannot enter an email address if I am not a wordpress.com member (asks for “an email and password” OR for “an email address associated with your account”)

  If I click on the white frame, it works.

  –> Why are there two frames ?
  –> How can I get that only the white frame appears that would work for both member and non members ? (when I delete the Follow button widget, both frame disappear)

  Thank you again
