I just got my own domain from SiteGround (first time doing anything like this.) and installed WordPress on it.Is it possible I could use that as my main WordPress account? I'm not seeing any option to follow other blogs, I don't see the reader and I'm pretty sure my account on this domain isn't actually visible on WordPress itself.Alternatively, how do you go about following/subscribing to blogs that are connected through WordPress but are on their own domain with no option to follow on the WordPress system itself?
Using WordPress account on a domain?
wordpress;blog
Installing WordPress on your own domain is possible with wordpress.org, like you did. Blogs hosted on wordpress.com are completely independent. so wordpress.org is not capable of connecting to blogs on wordpress.com, so it's not possible to follow, subscribe, etc. to blogs on wordpress.com.
