Adding to sidebar and getting comment alerts...

Sign in to your blog..hit the Customize button...click on add a gadget..then scroll down to the 8th choice..add a picture...then choose where you want to get your "add ons " from..I just saved my tags etc from my old blog into my saved from mail file and got them from there.... (click browse)..I swear that if I can do this anyone can.... ;-) just make sure you click on save before going back to your blog...

Special thanks to Donna who told me how to get my comments sent to me :

you can get comment alerts mailed to you ..............
Go to your blog, customize, the settings tab, the comments. Scroll down and it allows you to put your email address in. Then when someone comments you get an email :)

Hope this info helps someone out..I know I need all the help i can get ;-)

have a great week...

I'm glad post it some have been having problems and with new ones coming over.
I see you added the tag glad you like it. The only thing I hate about blogspot is you loose the animations.
I know a lot of taggers have been complaining about that. That's why I only make nonanimated tags now.
Take care, Chrissie

I use animations on my blog. I host them for free at Photobucket, where they give you the html code, then just paste that into your blog. Hope this helps. Sal

You have a great week too Lyn!! Just thought I'd say I have the word verification thingie. I get it wrong everytime. It ususally takes about five or six tries before my comment goes through! What can I say? I have an addled brain! Did you get my e-mail?

Well, I tried the comment alerts thing and it has not worked for me at all, not one single email. Ho hum.

lisa said...

it has been rough going for me....there is also a way to send out alerts to only 10 people..if you do that, please add me to the 10 if you will. I have no idea now how to get to that. I spent DAYS on this weeks ago. days and days. Your blog looks great. XOXO

I never do show the results of a poll. That goes in a separate entry. I usually give people a couple of days to vote and then I publish the results. You will have to be patient lol
