There is what appears to be an ad in your sidebar, and you cannot under any circumstances have an ad, whether it's paid for in money or products or discounts or whatever. Blogs get suspended for that.

I have two mirror blogs with the same content in different languages. One of them (http://nailpolisharmy.wordpress.com) shows posts correctly in feed readers like google reader and the built-in wordpress reader. Posts on the other one (http://mynailpolisharmy.wordpress.com), however, do not show up on readers at all, or sometimes only after many days.
I searched for a solution but could not find any culprit, so thank you in advance if you can look into this.

Everyone of those people are just great and so supportive and kind in their comments and their responses to me and I am thrilled to be part of this great blogging community.

The question I have is, "Do only other bloggers read blogs at WordPress.com?"

When someone "Likes" one of my blog posts, I see this notice that says, "4 other bloggers liked this." Does that mean that only bloggers can read blogs at WordPress.com?

If that is so, it would be fine with me because I am so very happy to have been treated so cordially by the wonderful friends who do comment on my stuff but I was just wondering.

So thanks in advance for any input or information you might be able to give to me on this question and again, I am just loving being here with each and everyone of you wonderful folks.

Very truly yours,

John

The concept (plothopping) of my blog is about thousands (or more) different writers from across the world who write 1 story together on plothopper.wordpress.com. (It would be very interesting to see what kind of story all these different nationalities create together and how the story evolves).

Therefor I wonder whether folllowing idea can be made possible by WordPress:

When a visitor (reader and potential writer) opens the blog on his screen, he must be able to see and thus read on the homepage the whole story. AND THEN, when he has read the story and the last few sentences, from where he will continue writing himself, he must be able to write a paragraph himself which will then be IMMEDIATELY be joined to the story, kind of pasted immediately at the bottom of the story. AND when a paragraph is then published, all readers who are on the blog at that time, maybe writing a paragraph themselves, can see the new sentence appear underneath, so they know the story has just been changed and they will have to come up with a fitting following sentence.

?Can WordPress make this possible?

Now I do it with comments and replying, but the idea I mentioned above would be a lot more interesting!

Thanks!

Gr. wizzpop

Freshly Pressed is certainly not only for "serious authors" -- we look for posts that are interesting, well-written, and are likely to spark interesting conversations. For more on what we look for, check out this support document:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/freshly-pressed/

Tags are a useful way to help new readers find you (although don't over-tag -- using more than 15 will block you from the Reader). Visiting other blogs and engaging with their authors in the comments is a fantastic way to draw people to your site; it's really the best way to build up a readership. You can also head over to http://dailypost.wordpress.com, where we have daily writing prompts and challenges that introduce lots of bloggers to one another.

Happy blogging -- don't give up!

I look every other day for my posts, which I space out so that they will draw more readers as like you suggested, but I am never on Freshly pressed, is it for serious autors only? I do get a few readers every month but they search by way of word. I don't want to tag everyone of my posts with as many words as in the post just to get one or two readers a week. I might as well take my WordPress account and hide it... Thanks in advance

My advice is to write another good post as quickly as you can. Often they will click out of the post that brought them to the blog and look at newer ones. If there are none, they leave. If there's a good one up, my experience is that you keep about 10% of the viral bounce.
