  I have my own website http://www.soraya.co.uk that is advertised in books I have written and in the magazine I write for so do not want to disable it but I would like to have a “follow me on WP” button to help my readers to find me on WP

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

  Hi!

  You can create a Follow button using the instructions here:

  External Follow Button

  Can you give that a try?

  Definitely! Since soraya.co.uk is a self-hosted site, I don’t have access to the backend so I’m not sure how it’s setup. The easiest way to do this would be to manually insert an icon into your site and link it to witchesweb.co. We have a similar tutorial here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/create-your-own-widget/

  The general steps would be as follows:

  1. Find an image you would like to use as a link back to WordPress.com. Here’s a good example:

     https://g.twimg.com/dev/sites/default/files/images_documentation/wordpress_com_0.png

  2. Upload the image to soraya.co.uk
  3. Add the image to your homepage and link it to witchesweb.co

  Can you give that a try?
