New things & quick update

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Just a quick post to let you know I’ve added a few things onto my blog. Firstly, I’ve added a subscriptions block on the side bar. Please try it out and let me know if it works for you so I now I set it up correctly. I’m not 100% sure how to use Feedburner, but hopefully someone can explain it to me (please?). *encouraging smile*

Secondly, I added a Blog Post Calendar, which really is just a different way of seeing which days I’ve made posts. Probably wont mean much to anyone, but its there nontheless. *nonchalant smile*

Thirdly, I updated my Rats page. I’ll be filling it out some more with past rats and more pics of my current girls as the weeks go by, but for now, thats it. *proud smile*

Fourthly, I’ve added an option for email notifications on follow up comments. So please guys, dont be shy with commenting – even if we’ve never met! I’ve been reading that 90% of blog readers are lurkers, and another 5% respond to questions. I dont really want to have to pose a specific question at the end of each post, but if you could leave me a little something to let me know you’re out there, that would be nice. So in case it was unclear in past posts, I do encourage comments *big smile*

And lastly, the poll is still open and only myself and one other have voted. I’m saddened to see someone thinks its too much work, because it really is all about bettering and empowering yourself. But I do understand some people are able to do that without a list. Still, it would be nice if someone else I know could do a list…its always fun to keep track of friends’ progresses through things like that and work together, thats what blog-friends are for, right? Oh well, I’ll just keep hoping someone else I know does a 101 in 1001 list sometime soon…*hopeful smile*

Thats all for now! Dont forget, help me out with Feedburner info and vote in the poll! Thanks!!
