Tony and Suzanne,

Neither, you have to look to see if they published a blog post among those you are following. A

You have to look to see what they're doing - right side of the window I believe

The members I follow show up on the right side of my page.  I can then choose if I want to view their current post.

I they comment on one of my posts I get notified per Sybil Campbell comment.

right side of the screen see what others are blogging.....

I guess it depends on your settings because I only get notifications when someone comments on one of my blogs or whe I have been tagged in a comment or answer.

Neither. On your blog home the people you follow are on the right & I just look to see when their last post was.

You are not alerted to anything.

Just makes it easier to find their blog on the "following" page.

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers when you follow someone, you are NOT notified of any such things - except that you can see their name on right bar of blog home.

I just look on the right side column on my home page to see who has posted lately.

I get notifiied when they tag me, post on comment on my post or like my post.

I do not think so. I just go to Following and check as many blogs as I can. 

Nada- as they said, you look to the right of your blog home page. 

None of the above.  Didn't know these were even options.

What Dorie Dillard and Lyn Sims said. 

Nope..neither.

No, you just get to filter blogs by "following".  No additional alerts.

Thankfully, there are no alerts.

Huh?

Already answered by others. I like the Facebook approach and Instagram that you can see what others are responding to and what they have to say.

Neither following is a compliment and will appear as a "follower" if you choose to comment on their blogs regularly.

You have received your answer. If Ron and Alexandra Seigel had stated yes, we are alerted, then I would have needed to go out an buy a new Apple!

You're not alerted at all unless they mention you.

Just when they post a blog.

I don't get this type of notification.  I search from the right side of the page for people I follow.  

I have to second Sybil Campbell answer.

I only get notifications like Sybil Campbell does. It would drive me crazy to get comments all day long!

I see it on the right side of the window for blogs

You can see their posts if you click on blogs, then following, but no alerts on comments or questions.

I don't think you get alerted for anything unless they tag you in a post or comment.

I believe it has more to do with following their blogs vs Q& A

None of the above.
