https://clarkwp.wordpress.com/?p=2794&preview=true is the link to the article. 

Good start. Some details I'm sure the editors would catch, but I'm just 
stepping in to help out this weekend. 

1. Images MUST be attachments. All images centered must be the full width of 
the content column.

2. Categories are not tags. The article must be put in the very specific one or 
two categories that applies. I've cleaned this up and put it in Tutorials and 
WordPress Basics.

3. I removed most of the tags and added tags relevant to the topic: subscribe, 
follow, subscription, feeds, feed reader 

4. Read through this carefully. "You can read all the posts that you follow on 
your WordPress.com home page." I have no idea what that means. The 
WordPress.com Reader is a feed reader built into the Administration Panels of 
WordPress for WordPress.com users only. When a WordPress.com member subscribes 
to a WordPress or WordPress.com site, it is added to the WordPress.com Reader. 
When new posts are added to the site, the WordPress.com user may read the new 
posts in the feed reader. Had thing to explain, but no one follows a post. You 
follow a site. The Reader is not on a Home Page. It is on a special Panel. So 
confused and need clarity. 

Love the second paragraph as it should be the opening one. It explains what it 
does, now tell us how to use it. The rest is great. Just fix the opening 
paragraph. 

5. Remember, no link dumps. Put the import link in a proper HTML link.

I received the information in reference to the reader at 
http://en.support.wordpress.com/reader/, is it fair to say that the information 
on this site should be correct.  Are we talking about the RSS Feed or Reader? 
This site says you can view feeds from any source including WordPress. If it is 
wrong or I misunderstood, I will change.  Can you take a look at the support 
page for WordPress and tell me if the information I received pertains to the 
article in which I have written. I changed the size of the attached images to 
full size. Thank you,  Veronica

When I am in my own site and it takes me to a screen that says 
WordPress.com/following/edit/, I guess that is what they are 
describing as the homepage has the reader which allows you to 
edit, import, and export other blogs that you follow from other 
sites, not just WordPress.com sites, that is based on the information
I read.

So what is the verdict?  Were you able to make sense out of it Veronika?  It 
made sense to me but I am a bit blurry on the whole feed stuff.  Waiting to 
hear from Lorelle. I will hand off to her to get some feed back.

Jo,

I was able to make sense of it, even reviewed after comments.  I went back over 
the information and was able to follow as per instructions and found the reader 
and were I could add, import, and export. Yes I agree, we can wait to hear from 
Lorelle. Thanks for getting back to me.

Veronica

All looks good on my part, doesn't seem to have a intro paragraph, it just 
dives right into it. 
Don't forget to add the tag "WordPress" and "WordPress Reader".

I've checked it for G/P/S. All looks fine, but I agree with Savanna that it 
could benefit from massaging that first paragraph just a bit. It could be as 
easy as starting that paragraph with the question - Tired of having to jump 
from site to site to read all your favorite blogs? Now you can read all...

I will work on the first paragraph or move the second to the first. Lorelle 
seem to like the second paragraph and thought it should be my opener. I will 
send you a message when I am done.

Thanks,

Veronica
