    There is no Follower or Friends widget supplied by wordpress.com if that's what you are asking. The way to make friends and followers who become subscribers is to locate blogs that interest you on the global tagging pages, visit, leave meaningful comments and form relationships with the bloggers in question.

    You can set up sharing icons for social networks and enable their display on your blog. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

    You can also enable blog subscriptions. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscriptions/ and here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/blog-subscription-widget/

    We do have a Showcase Forum where you can post a blog promotion thread and it's here. > http://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/showcase

    We also have an Off-Topic Forum where you can meet other wordpress.com bloggers. It's here. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/off-topic

    I can recommend a comprehensive tutorial prepared by Staff. The Learn WordPress.com tutorial is divided into progressive levels and presented as a series: http://learn.wordpress.com/

    Thanks timethief very informative answers! I appreciate it very much =) They should really think about adding some type of social community besides just the forum boards. It would be nice if you could add friends and not have to visit their blogs just to do so! I suppose I need to make a suggestion to WordPress..lol. Well thank you so much!! Hope you have a great day!
