I'm pretty new to the whole blog world, but have no problem as far as content goes. It's all about the customizing aspect that I'm not fond of. With most people's blogs, at the end of the post of whatever it shows the little icons that say "share this!" and it has the links to digg, del.ic.ous. and all those crazy sites. 1. do I need that to excel it? (i would figure so if people have it) 2. how do i get it there? Another important question, subscribers. I have found more negatives in people subscribing to your site than positives. With the email subscription, every time you update it, it just sends the new post to their email. Ok, so they read the post in their email but your site gets no hits? they can opt to do that but it doesn't make too much sense idk. Wouldn't it be smarter to have them put your blog in their favorites? if that's the case, do you recommend I take the email subscription widget out and inform my readers to do so? is there anything else i am missing on my blog as far as customizing? thanks.
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but I added a button from www.addthis.com It opens up a little window and users can select to add the page to favourites, facebook, stumbleupon and a dozen or so others.
and if you are using blogger you can use social bookmarking icons See this http://simple-tricks.blogspot.com/2007/09/social-bookmarking-elements-after-each.html
Regarding subscribers, can you not set it up so they dont get the whole post by email? forcing them to visit for the rest of the post.
is there a book mark plugin wich will just add it directly to there favorites on there browser? when using www.addthis.com it opens with a window with a bunch of other book marking options and it seems a bit confusing for most people so i just want one that only does favorites is this possible?
