   This is seems a bit silly, but I have realized all of the blogs I love to follow and that have inspired me to blog are on blogspot, I mean I go through wordpress and I just dont feel it. I have followed the tips on how to follow blogs that are not on wordpress, but no matter what it doesnt show up on "blogs I follow". I would like to know how to follow non-wordpress blogs.
   Also in general is this a sign I should move my blog? I love wordpress because its so easy, but for some weird reason its just doesnt have that blogging group I was looking for.

   The blog I need help with is afghancuisine.wordpress.com.

   When I was thinking of moving my blog off WordPress, I felt the same only the opposite from you - that all the blogs I loved were on WordPress. It's one of the main reasons I stayed here.

   The thing is that until you (anyone) find enough blogs that you enjoy, any free bloghost like Blogger or WordPress.com or LiveJournal (or many others) have their own way of showing subscribers. If you can't get used to it, then you have to have your blog somewhere were you're more comfortable. If all the blogs you enjoy are on Blogspot, then it is logical for you to be there. (In my opinion).

   As for tips on how to follow people, there are lots of other ways and you might find something of use in a free guide I wrote:

   however, even if you follow those tips, it will still take time.

   Is it a sign you should move your blog? Only you can know that.

   Please see here and be sure you followed all the steps > Follow a Blog Not on WordPress.com

   P.S. Also note that all browsers have browser bookmarks and all computer operating systems provide the ability to mark sites as favorites. I suggest you use Google and type in your browser type and your operating system to learn how to use those bookmarking and favorite functions.

   This is the Google search string I used to locate WordPress.com blogs:
   afghanistan cooking site:wordpress.com
   Click this link for the results > http://tinyurl.com/829z5p3
   I see your own blog there but I also see others as well.
