  You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widgets by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:

  These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.
  Logged out users __ Show follow button to logged out users.

  Checking this will present a follow button to logged out users in the bottom corner of their screen.

  Find Friends Who Use WordPress > http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/find-friends/

  You can customize the contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  Note: As a spammer prevention you are limited to sending out 10 invitations at one point in time. Then wait and send out 10 more.

  I have the word “Follow” in the upper left top of my page. Is that what people need to click to follow my posts? Thanks for the info, LB

  Only those with WordPress.com username accounts, who are logged into WordPress.com can click the “follow” button in the Admin bar to follow the blog.

  I do not see a follow blog widget on this blog http://lnbliss.wordpress.com/.

  All I see is a Recent Posts widget and that cannot be used to subscribe to the blog.
