Wordpress 'Follow' button

Could someone do me a favour?

If you run a Wordpress blog, could you look at my site and tell me whether there's a 'follow' button in the top left hand corner?

My site is self-hosted so I'm worried that there isn't one there.

Thanks!

Can't see it, sorry :( I'm self posted on wp too and can't work out how to do this either so would be very interested if you can get this fixed!

Ah good, glad it's not just me! I found a plugin last week but couldn't get it to work. I hope someone can offer advice.

There is a 'follow me' option about half-way down on the right-hand side of the page, but that is to allow following on fb and twitter.
If you fix it, let me know, as I have a wordpress blog too and am keen to generate more traffic (although I am behind with posting and should have had a new blog post up there yesterday!)

What does self hosted mean compared to what i did i.e. use a pre made wordpress page. Does it mean you've designed it using another piece of software?

Is there anyway i can get the code from my widget and share it with you?

In total honesty, my husband told me to go self hosted so I did it! Sounds awful doesn't it?! I don't think you can ever make money through a normal Wordpress one (against their t's and c's) although arguably this isn't an issue for me anyway ;)

Self-hosted means you buy your own web address and pay for your hosting, so that you can have a URL withough .wordpress in it :) Still haven't worked this one out, I'm on it though!
