  The WIDGET FOLLOW BLOG shows that I have 194 followers but who are they? How do I communicate with them? Where can I see their email addresses?

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

  When we follow a blog and provide an email address for the purpose of receiving new post updates that is the only purpose our email address can used for. In Canada violating that is illegal.

  As some bloggers violate that and spam us with stuff we did subscribe to receive, many of us use throwaway email addresses for blogging and keep our personal email addresses for family and close friend use only.

  Ahh! So if I want to get their email addresses, do I need to add a service outside WordPress? Is there a plugin for that?
