    Hi,

    I have 2 questions:

    1) This is regarding Follow button on self-hosted blog. My blog (bhaili.com) is self-hosted, Jetpack-powered blog and when I am trying to generate Follow button (using the link – https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/follow-button-creation/) I am getting error (“Please check you’ve entered the address of a WordPress.com or Jetpack-powered site and try again.”).

    2) This one is regarding “Press This” option. I have seen on few blogs, there is an option at the bottom of posts for “Press This”. I want to add this feature in my blog as well. I have added “Press This” in my browser’s bookmark toolbar, but want to add this option at the bottom of my blog posts as well, so that other readers can share my posts/snippets.

    Kindly answer my above queries.

    Regards,
    Megha Agrawal

    1. Search for a ‘social media button’ plugin.

    2. Search for a ‘share button’ plugin

    All can be found if you navigate to plugins->add new-> search, install

    Searching brought me to this page. The hupso plugin will add a button to share the blog post easily. The follow blog option though I haven’t seen done for wordpress.org sites. You could collect emails addresses via contact 7 and them email updates to the blog when you post them. But that is a manual process.
