I have been playing around on here all day. The outcome is that I have a new gizmo on my sidebar which I acquired from Technorati. I went there to post my journal , then I found you could add friends under Technorait's own favourites and then I found this little gizmo for my journal where my favourites are shown. I do not know if it is correct in the update times but at least I can put links there and if alerts go down.................and we all know that they frequently do, then I can always pop into the journals I have listed and make sure I have not missed anything.
Please do not be offended if you do not see your name there. It would seem that only public blogs can be listed and many of you are now private.
So, do not worry, I still have you on alerts and am slowly trying to add to Other Blogs although I have a lot of trouble with that, sometimes it will let me add and sometimes it will not.
Anyway, I am testing it and if I am happy it will stay, if not I can always go back to the old way. If it does stay, I will be adding more of your journals as time goes by.

That is a pretty neat gizmo. It even shows when it was last updated. Now I guess you'll have to share what it is. I just plug along using the same things I have for several years, but it is nice to see something new. 'On Ya' -ma
I changed over to a Reader to get my alerts thru a feed, this past wkend. I Love It!!!! Still have to keep my private journals on AOL alerts, but the others are on my Reader & it's great!

Hi Jeannette what a great gizmo that is, really like it will have to try that when I get time as you know when you are retired you never have a minute. Was looking at all you plants again as I scrolled down they look even better as I am upstairs on my old desktop pc as I am having an adaptor problem at the moment on my laptop and the screen is so much clearer on my old friend. Have a lovely day I see from your sidebar it is 68 degrees already and its not 8 o'clock yet. Love Joan.
aaaahhhh I did that a while back and it looked sloppy this is much better... might have to try again :)
hugs

That is pretty cool. I've never been to Technorati...have to say I don't even know what it is!

Now isn't that cool! Perhaps I will put that in my sidebar when I clean it up. I am in the process. Technorati is awesome. I am looking for your button "Add Blog to Tech Faves". Do you have it somewhere that I can not see? LOL Have a good night, my dear! Hugs, Val xox

What an awesome widget, Jeannette! I didn't see that one! When you add other bloggers, do they have to be members of Technorati, or can they be anybody who has a blog? If they can be anybody, I just may do that instead of alerts also. B/c sometimes alerts go down, and also sometimes they fill up your mailbox. Oh my, do they fill up your mailbox, you know what I mean! I like the fact that they tell when a blog has been updated, also. Then you can go down the list once or twice a day - and you know if they have not been updated for a few days, not to click them on, b/c they were not updated! That saves a LOT of time. I will have to look into this widget myself!
