  It seems that people with phones are unable to see my blog. I don’t use mobile devices myself so i know nothing about them but they are asking if there is an ap to download so they can read it. How does it work for them to get onto my blog, please. :-)

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

  You can either choose a responsive theme, which automatically adapts to mobile devices, or you can enable the Mobile Theme. I believe that’s under Appearance on the dashboard, but it might be under Settings->General as well.

  Thank you raincoaster. I tried enabling the mobile theme but it seems people still are not able to find the ‘follow’ button. :-(

  Does downloading any of these apps at this link have anything to do with it – or is that only for someone who already has a blog?

  I feel so stupid.

  The app is only for people who have blogs here.

  No need to feel stupid. People who can’t figure out how to read your blog are asking you for help. That’s not usually a blogger’s job.

  If they want, they can install an RSS reader and add your blog to it. That will push updates to the app every time you make a post.

  I will tell them to do that – whatever ‘that’ is. :-)

  Thanks so much for your help. :-)

  You’re welcome. They might have issues with that too, but Google will be able to help them.
