I Need Your Help

I need your help my friends.  My alerts are in a total mess and have been for a while.

Some I have down three times, others I do not seem to have at all, so if I have not been to you for a while, you know why. Some have gone private, some have stopped writing altogether.  I just do not know where I am with them anymore.

So, I have decided that I am going to delete all my alerts and start from scratch.  This seems the only sensible way of getting things back to normal.

Therefore I am asking you all to please leave your journal addies in comments.  That way I can add you as they come in.

I do realise that not everyone will read this entry but, hopefully, people will come along sooner or later.  I do not want to lose any friends or lose links to journals that I like very much.

So, please - leave your journal address or if you do not know how to do that, then leave the name of your journal and I will try to find you under search.

I shall also be deleting other blogs from my sidebar and starting that again as well because some of the links are now obsolete.

I will be leaving this entry up for a couple of days to give you all a chance to leave me your URL if you wish to do so.

Thanks in advance for your help.  Have a good week everyone.

P.S.  I know that some of you now do multiple entries per day. I have no problem with that.  However, it is not good for my health problems to sit for endless hours at the computer which my doctor has told me on several occasions lol.  So, please do not be offended but I shall only ever comment on one of your entries, unless there is something really special you want me to see or something you wish me to know about. If so you can drop me a quick e-mail asking me to view that entry.  I hope you will understand.

I tried the whole update my alerts things not long ago.  Very time consuming.  Perhaps starting over is the best way.  -  Barbara

I don`t know quite what`s going on with alerts Jeannette but I keep getting two for each entry and the other day I got one that was posted on the 12th January! Again AOL need to get on top of their game...or lower our subscriptions.  That`ll be the day of course...lol! :o)

I get more than one for each entry sometimes too. If I read it and delete it it come back to me, I thought it was just me. I think its just something aol does to keep us on our toes don't you

Jeannette,

Commenting is optional, not compulsory. My alerts are a mess as well, due to the fact that people go private, which means you have to reengage the alerts. Good luck with this clean-up.

What a kerfuffle Jeannette!   Don't worry about visits to me...I know what your doctor is on about.  I should be doing as you do too my friend.
Good luck with gathering in the links.

I need to go thru mine too.  Some people in my alerts section aren't even journaling anymore.  I may do the same thing when I get back from our road trip.  (Leaving here this Saturday, Feb 9th)  Linda in cold, dreary Washington state

I understand what you are going through...have had major problems with alerts myself.  Your on my private list, so just reset me if mine are not coming through.  I understand too about not being able to be on the computer a lot.  I have leg issues and aches to sit too long.  Hope you have a beautiful Monday...hugs and love,

I think it's a smart idea to start over since you're having so many problems with your alerts.  I hope everything works well from now on.

Jeannette; here's mine, but don't feel obligated to visit it; I know how overwhelming it can be with too many journals, not enough time

Jeannette, this makes so much sense!  I have lots of people on my alerts as well, but only get alerts from just a few of them . . . cleaning house every once in a while is a good idea.  Blessings to you and yours, Penny  http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/TimeforaLittlePoetry
