[Wordpress issuses] triciaskilbeck on "followers"

Good morning timethief,

Thank you for your reply and the time you've given to writing it. Your reply has made me realise that I mustn't have made my request for help clear.

I don't want to make the blog private. I do want children's aunts, uncles and family friends able to view it. I also want fellow educationalists to be able to take a look. I'm more than happy for these people to be able to follow and to be sent an email each time I post a new comment or picture about a child's achievement.

What I would also like is the capacity to be able to stop people following if I cannot see a reason for them to need regular updates and pictures of young children they do not know.

I know that this will not stop them accessing the blog again but they will have to make more effort than just having things drop in their mailbox.

Yesterday I had two people I don't know becoming followers of the blog. One of them, I wasn't sure about and the next one I was definitely sure about and do not want him following. I checked out his own blog only to find it's full of anger and rage directed at his own school days and at people he is still looking to take is anger out on. You can surely see why I wouldn't want him following the blog.

Whilst you may not as yet have a facility for me to stop people following, I would really appreciate it if you were to look into this, as other social media sites do. I think wordpress is fantastic and have made use of upgrades to ensure no adverts are used on the blog and to use videopress. I would definitely buy into an upgrade that could stop certain people following or, even better, block them from the site. I would be willing to police this myself.

By the way, I did not give the school blog address above as I did not want to encourage others to look at the site.

Kind regards and thanks in anticipation of your help.
