I followed a blog a while a go and also signed up to get posts. Not getting posts. I tried to check my settings since her blog is listed under my followed blogs. No way to check settings. The blog name is Viewing nature with Eileen. Her blog link is: Viewing nature with Eileen . I have asked her why too and I am waiting for an answer back. Please Note that I unfollowed and refollowed to see if that helps. I have done everything I can think of. Can you help me please.
You’re always so kind to help and that I’m appreciative of.
Crystal

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,

The link you posted above is for https://viewingnaturewitheileen.blogspot.com/. As that site is hosted by Blogspot.com, not WordPress.com, any notifications for that site would be sent by Blogspot, not by us.

We only have control over email notifications for sites hosted on WordPress.com, not for site hosted by other services.

Her blog link is: Viewing nature with Eileen .

Please don’t post site links like that. When you need to reference a specific site, please use the address, https://viewingnaturewitheileen.blogspot.com/ in this case, as that’s the unique identifier for the site on the web.

I tried to check my settings since her blog is listed under my followed blogs. No way to check settings.

Those settings only appear for WordPress.com sites, or WordPress sites that have Jetpack Subscriptions enabled.

While you can follow any site with an RSS feed, including Blogspot/Blogger sites, in the Reader, we do not provide email subscriptions for those sites.

Then why is it under sites I follow in WordPress?

Could you provide a screen shot? Perhaps we are misunderstanding the question. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes :)

Just upload it here with a third party link from something like snag.gy or droplr.

I’m uploading it to my media in the blog WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING) The link to my media is: Media For WELCOME TO CRYSTAL’S SITE(ORIGINALLY COUNTRY LIVING) . Hope these links help. I don’t have either of the ones you mentioned.

@daisymae2017, you are still following the site in the reader, so its posts will show up in your list here:
https://wordpress.com/

But you’ll notice in the screenshot, there’s no “settings” gear to configure email notifications for the site. It’s because we don’t offer email notifications for outside sites.

It’s working as it is designed.

It is not designed to send emails about Blogspot sites.
