I was looking for some information on the Followers functionality. However, this documentation link is not opening for me. Is it working for anyone else?

Thanks

Yeah, we often put place holders in for docs that need to be written, I'll write something there now.

--edit--
Try the link now, the docs are up. If it needs more, let me know what it needs.

Thanks. :)

Thanks - that's the info I was looking for. It behaves the way I thought it did, which means it's not useful to my current dilemia.

One of my members is is looking for a way people can follow his blog by email notification something like Wordpress or Facebook does it.

Is it possible to integrate an e-mail subscribe button for blogs, or is RSS the only currently available way for someone to follow a blog?

Most modern email clients will allow you to signup to an RSS feed, reading it looks just like reading an email.

I use thunderbird:

Thanks Michael. I was hoping for something more simple for people to use, since most of my members are simple folk that need easy solutions like - click a button.

For instance, if they use gmail they can get it to read RSS by installing and figuring out Feedly and IFTTT but the technically challenged won't do that, nor will they switch to Thunderbird.

However, if there was a subscribe button they could click, they might do that. That's the sort of functionality I'm looking for.

Haven't come across the facebook feature where you can subscribe to someone and receive emails when they post something, do you have a link to the docs on that feature? or docs to the wordpress feature?

I can check it out.

I haven't had tome to look into Facebook and Twitter documentation on this but I found a "work-around" for my main feeds. I don't see a way of doing this for profile blogs though, as it requires the setting up of 3rd party software.

However, this does provide a perfect example of what I am trying to accomplish with profile Blog Feeds. It would function exactly like you see when you click this link.
