  Is it possible to block a follower? Or to remove their email from the list who get notifications?

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

  Hi there. I’m afraid not. As long as your blog is set to public, anyone with an internet connection can read and follow it and there is no way to remove a follower.

  You can only block a reader from commenting by adding their username, blug URL and email (if you have it) to the blacklist section under Settings ->Discussion in the dashboard: http://support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklist

  Note: In spite of what the instructions say, don’t add their IP address as IPs are no longer unique and you might wind up blocking other people instead.
