    I dont understand : « Note: Followers do not need to be registered with WordPress.com. Anyone following your blog with an email address that’s not associated with a WordPress.com account will be sent details of how to confirm and manage the sites they’re following without needing to register at WordPress.com. » but when I send an invitation my friends have to register...

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

    Which part of that don't you understand?

    What exactly do you want to do?

    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/

    Thanks for your email.
    Actually, I would like to invite friends and they dont have to register. But I dont know how.
    The button you talk me about is on the site, but my friends need to be connected. How can they do that without Worldpress account ?

    Will you please read these sections?

    If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.

    I read it all and you still have not answered my question. Maybe I was not clear...

    I'd like a yes/no answer please:

    - Can people view the content of my blog without having to register/sing up for a wordpress.com account?

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes. Anyone connected to the internet can read any public blog.

    Ok.

    If I want a private blog, my readers/viewers have to sign up for the first time only if they follow up, am I right ?

    Thanks for your help.

    If you intend to make the blog private then note:

    I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose – Select this option to create a private blog. If you want others to be able to view your private blog (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them) you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer.

    OK. And if I invite them to be a viewer, the invitation ask them to sign up.
    Thanks !
