In case you haven’t noticed, I changed the “subscribe” button at top right. It is now FEEDblitz affiliated. It doesn’t matter if you use Outlook or not. It will work, I promise.
I would like for my family and friends to give it a chance. Ya see, it also lets me know that you care. Even if you only check-in to see M’s & L’s new photos and videos, and don’t care a hoot about what I have to say. *grin* That's fine with me.
If you don’t fall under “my family” or “my friends” category......... and are reading this, you probably bumped into my blog by mistake thru a misguided search and have no intentions to revisit this blog ever again. *deep breath* Hint: don’t mention something like “Maxxinene carrtooons” (misspelled on purpose) on your blog, unless you want insincere traffic.
Back to “the button”. This is the blog and writeup which introduced me to the wonderful world of FEEDblitz > http://sarahparker.blogspot.com/2005/10/i-shouldve-been-paid-for-this.html If my following instructions are incomplete or confusing, maybe reading Sarah’s information may help clarify the purpose.
Step 1. enter your email address & push to button.
Step 2. you are now at Feedblitz – TAKE NOTE: the red information saying “.....to complete registration......”
Step 3. check your Inbox/Junk email. Find: Feedblitz message – follow confirmation link in the email message. Note: also contains an assigned password, which you can easily change later to your preference.
Step 4. you are now back at Feedblitz.com, but this time you are already “signed in” to your own account. Don’t worry, it’s free (unless you choose Premium Services, which I do NOT have).
Step 5. See the block at top right “Dashboard”, etc? Now you can change your password, (if you don’t want to remember that “11+ digit mixture”) click on “MY PROFILE”. Erase the dots, both places, and enter your personal chosen password........then UPDATE.
Optional Step 5a. At this point I usually log off and then back on, just for “test” sake, whenever I change any passwords.
Step 6. “The Dashboard” is your summary page of your Feedblitz account. If you click on “manage subscriptions”......then.......presto ! see the Ever Changing Crusades listed that you signed up for ???
Now the possibilities are endless enjoyable. FEEDblitz has the characteristics of a “3-shift-on-the-column” truck. Without all the fancy bells-and-whistles, but will get you where you need to go with dependability and simplicity.
On “the Dashboard”.......Manage Subscriptions is the list of other blogs that you are subscribed to through Feedblitz, and you can easily add more blogs (I suggest to choose the RSS feed when given the choice) that you want to know when they updated (even if that particular blog does not have a “Feedblitz subscribe button”). The Manage Syndications and the Manage Subscribers are used when you have your own blog and have posted the little Subscribe Button, like I did.
GO FOR IT !!!!

I promise to "signup" on the feedblitz when I have a little more time. While I know it should be simple... it should complicated. And know that I check in probably as much if mot more than most!
