In reply to: Twitter buttonSame here. I have a self-hosted blog with WP. Looks like so much less is available than if WP is hosting your blog. Does anybody know how to enable this “notify me of new posts” option on a self-hosted blog? Hard to believe that it is not possible…

In reply to: Twitter buttonThank you for this tip! It worked. Would you also know how I can enable an option for blog readers to subscribe to my blog/be notified automatically of new posts? Much appreciated it if you could provide simple guidance as you did in your previous response!

In reply to: Twitter buttonThanks for your response! I tried it but this was still too technical for me. However, I did figure out that if I go into Twitter they give you the code that you can copy and paste into the HTML of wherever you want to put it. I have to experiment with this further – e.g. how to add it to the sidebar, as opposed to on the main page but it worked. For those of you who are as low-tech as me, you need to click on HTML (instead of “Visual”) of your post, page etc. This will give you the html coding that sits behind the scene, then just paste it there.

In reply to: Twitter buttonI want the same thing. Is it possible to get instructions for a code-clueless newbie? Twitter generates a code but I have no idea where to paste it… My blog is a self-hosted blog: http://www.reinventingfun.com.

In reply to: Manage Categories not showing upThere’s supposed to be a presentation panel on the left side, accd. to WP guide. How do I get that? Why would only Admin be authorized (and I would think an admin should have rights to manage their blog…) – I started the blog thru iPage (by clicking on their WordPress link/icon. Are some features not enabled if you go thru iPage? Or they are not enabled if you use Firefox?
Also, it tells me Jetpack is installed and gives me an option to Learn MOre – when I click on it it prompts me to log into WP (but I’m already in it); when I try to log in it doesn’t recognize my password (it tells me wordpress.com is different from ww.wp.xz.cn whereas I am logged in the .com site). So I thought maybe I need to create a separate account with WP so I did, but they seem to be 2 separate things, my blog doesn’t even recognize the gravatar I created when I signed up for that (separate) WP account. I seem to be going around in a circle. I find WP very user unfriendly. Somehow I managed to create a menu and a few pages and can post articles but seems like there are many features that I don’t have access to (or are easier if you have the presentation panel, with Manage Themes, Write Panel and other options). Appreciate any help I can get!
