Following

Followers are people who like your blog to want to keep up with it. When you get followers, you can click on their picture to view their profile, you can also see a list of other blogs they follow. Anyone who reads your blog can check out your followers too. You see how this gets bigger and bigger....and you find more and more to read...

If you find a blog that you want to follow (maybe this one?) go to the right or left side of the screen and find "followers." It usually has a bunch of small square pictures under the title "Followers." Near those photos will be "sign in." Click on the sign in. You will need the email you used to sign up for your blog, and your blog password to sign in. Once you have typed that in, follow the instructions. At some point it will ask if you want to follow publicly or privately. If you follow publicly then your "picture" shows up on the blog under "followers." If you follow privately you will get information whenever the blog is updated, but your profile will not be accessible from the website.

You don't have to follow anyone, if you don't want to. If you love a certain blog, you can just key in the blog address and check it out when you want to.
If you do follow, then the blogs you follow will show upon your Dashboard. We will be talking about the dashboard next lesson.
