  I have watched my blog grow to over 200 followers over the course of the last 6 months. Today, my blog went from 213 followers in the morning to just 43 this afternoon. When I look at my site stats, the numbers no longer show email followers. What happened? Why the sudden change?

  Thank you for your time.

  Best,

  It looks like you have only ever had the ones listed at this time.

  It is possible that some unsubscribed recently, but I believe that 213 may have been in error, unless you mean to refer to a blog other than http://danicee.com/

  Ok, I think I see what you mean.

  We are no longer including the Facebook and Twitter follower totals in the Follow Blog sidebar widget, hence the illusion of a drop in followers.

  That makes sense. Thank you for the feedback.
