Do you have a favorite blog and want to let the author and readers know that you are a fan? Well now you can do that and more with the Blogger Following feature! You can even keep track of the blogs you follow via your Reading List on the Blogger dashboard.
Following a blog publicly vs. anonymously
Following Publicly: When you follow a blog publicly, your profile image and a link to your Blogger profile will appear in the blog's Followers widget. (Note: the blog owner may not have a Followers widget, but may add one in the future. If they add one in the future, your picture and link to your profile will appear there. Also, even if the blog owner doesn't have a widget, they can still see who their followers are in their Dashboard.) You will also be subscribed to updates for this blog which will appear in your Reading List on your Dashboard. Additionally, following a blog will create a subscription to the blog in your Google Reader account.
Following Anonymously: When you follow a blog anonymously, your profile image and link to your profile will NOT be displayed in the blog's Followers widget. However, you will be subscribed to updates for this blog which will appear in your Reading List on your Dashboard. Additionally, following a blog anonymously will create a subscription to the blog in your Google Reader account.
You have to sign up for a Google account to activate this feature. More information is HERE.
