But if you are not a WordPress member you can click the "Follow" button, right?

If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts see here > http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/more-traffic-for-your-blog-with-the-follow-button/

Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can "like" and "share" your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat. Those who have username accounts only but no WordPress.com blog can become followers and click the "like" and/or "share" buttons. Those who do not have accounts cannot use the like button. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/07/09/wordpress-followers-likes-and-stats/

Note: To compel readers to click into my blog to read the full post thereby creating a page view stat, I have set my RSS Feed for posts to “summary” on this page > Settings > Reading

If you are not a Facebook member then you cannot click a Facebook "like" button, right? Well, if one is not a WordPress.com member then they cannot click the WordPress.com "like" button.

Some visitors to my site have not been able to "like" my latest post without an email address or username and a password. While I know that to like another wordpress site, we are required to sign in, but those who do not, how can they like a post without creating or having a username and password? I've checked my settings and don't think I am requiring that, but may be overlooking something.

Thanks very much for your help!
