I like knowing that I give my reader’s options when they come to my blog.  If you enjoy what you read, there should be a way for you to subscibe.  Whether it’s a reader or via e-mail I’ll figure out how to offer that up to you as a choice.  This post is about taking a few steps to adding a Feedburner e-mail subscriber link to your blog here on CrabbysBeach. Actually you can take the steps to add it anywhere, just pay attention to the code you copy and paste into your venue – Feedburner offers up a few choices.

MC over at The Computer Gyspy let me know that these steps worked great when she used them to set up her e-mail subscription link. So here ya go and if you get hung up, have any questions at all please just drop me a note and I’ll help ya out right away.

1. Go to Feedburner.com
2. Sign up and register your blog – just fill in the blanks
3. Once you have done that from your account dashboard go to Publicize
4. Click on e-mail subscriptions – subscription management
5. Choose Preview Subscription link  at the bottom of the page (the javascript one will not work on WP)
6. Copy the code – go to your blog dashboard
7. Open a sidebar text widget
8. Paste in the code – click save and view your blog
9. Ta da you should have a subscribe by email link on your side panel

Easy and very powerful tool. Go look around Feedburner once you have subscribed to see all the options you have to play with. Enjoy!

Well at least now it is. Head on over to add your links to  AddBlogURL. The brainchild of my mentor and fave lensmaster Rajays, this site is Google juice plus Adsense plus backlinks all rolled into one sweet place.

The Simple Brilliance of Dirt

A handful of compost

We’ve had a compost bin forever.  In fact,  some of the richest bits of gold earth tossed on our garden have come from the bottom of that bin. Immediately eye-spied the simple compost design on A Lazy Man’s Guide to Compost and ta-da our rather rickety, hokie compost bin was ohh so beautiful too. Who knows why I’d always thought that it had to be perfectly pretty AND functional. Sheesh! is me.

This lens serves it up with no fluff, no fuss…just a passion for digging in the dirt! Plus lensmaster AllThingsMichigan includes a host of really awesome pictures to boot. This new purple star lens got my green-thumb verve on  ;)

Big Heart of Art - 1000 Visual Mashups

It’s been a tough road to hoe lately in our household and from all figures it is not just about us. It is a lot of folks ’round this wonderful and wildly weird world. Today though let’s focus on the goodness we find in our life no matter how dismal tomorrow might seem or may actually end up being…that is another day.

We are focusing in on a moment here -  one tiny, itty-bitty moment in a lifetime to give thanks for anything you can conjure up. My friend Boshemia actually sums it up very nicely on her newest Squidoo lens.  She prompted my thought. You?
