Updates to the blog

Hey all! I made some changes to the blog... not big changes.. just the layout, (remember when I used to change it all of the time?) but I got lazy and kept it on the green grass one all summer..., also I added a few more features..

First, on the top right hand sidebar, you can subscribe to the blog getting notifications when I update.. This is a cool feature for those who don't check blogs daily so that I don't have to send out emails everytime that I add a new entry.. however, I am the person (and Donita told me last night that she is too) that checks the blogs daily for new activity.. and we see the new postings before we actually get the email from the subscription. Either way.. a cool new addition to the blog.

Second, you can add yourself to be a "Follower" of my blog.. (that reminds me a bit of Myspace) Also a cool feature because the rest of our friends can link to your blog.

And last, those of you who are my Blogger "friends" (on my links list) are highlighted in a whole new way! Yes, it still tells my friends and family that you are my daily links.. but it also updates everytime that you add a new entry.. so visitors of both of our blogs know whether you have made updates as well.. (a great feature for me since I check everyone's blogs daily.. now I'll only have to if I see a new post under your name)
Some of you have password protected blogs for friends and family only.. that won't change.. people will see your name on my list but still will have to enter their login to get to your page, so no worries!



So! Be a subscriber if you aren't a frequent visitor! (Hint* Both of my sets of parents and family!)

And Bloggers.. be a follower so that I know you are a reader! Great for those who don't have time to leave comments.

Enjoy the new features as I have so far!
