Testing. 1-2-3. Testing

So...this whole blog thing is NEW to me.  I don't really understand a lot of it and how it works.  Paaaattttt - where are you when I need you?  But seriously...do you like my new layout?  No more stripes - kind of a purple fade.  New font.  I'm into it.

Anyways - one thing that is way over my head is the "followers" function.  You can choose to follow me publicly or privately.  It doesn't really seem to matter though because as my parents tell me on a regular basis - even though they are followers they don't receive e-mail notifications when I update the blog.  This annoys them.  It would annoy me too.

So I tried to add the "follow by e-mail" function.  I'm not sure if it works.  What do I know?  But if you are one of the many people who have asked me how they are supposed to know when I post, try entering your e-mail into the new link that is located on the top right hand side of the blog.  There are a few non-complicated steps, but this might just solve all of our problems.  I don't think that it is going to bombard you with e-mails or anything.  More like send you a daily notification when I make any additions.  We will see... 

Also - if you are worried about me knowing or not knowing or knowing that other people know (or whatever weird insecurities you might have about public display of interest..come on, I know you love stalking me) your e-mail address won't be published anywhere...I don't even think that I will be able to see it.  My settings are set to anonymous.

Thanks for reading!
