   Hello again all,

   I have been looking and looking and cannot find an answer to this query, am I using the wrong terms perhaps? I am new to all this. I hope that you can help please.

   Basically, I want people to get their friends to subscribe to my blog - and when their friends subscribe, I want them to add in the name of the person who referred them. I hope you understand what I mean?

   This is so that I can reward the people who have referred their friends!

   How can I dio this please? Any ideas? The 'subscribe' email does not ask for that information - can I alter this?

   Hope to hear from you soon

   Thanks so much in advance

   The blog I need help with is rubydemuir.com.

   I don't have a solution for you. What wordpress.com provides does not include what you want.

   Hello timethief,

   Thanks for this. I am really surprised. Is it available in any of their paying / upgrade versions, do you know? Only it's a major part of my marketing startegy :(

   Thanks

   Perhaps setting up a contact form and asking all those subscribers who do refer others to you to use it when they do will be helpful. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
