Missing your Followers gadget?
Sad ’cause your not gaining any new followers lately?
Not a problem!
I just stumbled along the coolest tutorial that will put a little “Follow” button in your sidebar…just like the one you see below:
This will enable your readers to follow as usual, even if your Followers gadget isn’t working.
The tutorial is really easy to follow and can be found at Latest Tech Tips.
I did add some extra code to center the button, as shown in the picture below:
Good luck and may you gain many new followers!
Thank you for sharing! Now I wish the followers gadget would start working! But I guess this will do until then!
Yay! It worked. Now if only I could post comments under my name!

Thank you! I've also followed by selecting the follow button on the top of the person's screen near report abuse & next blog.
Oh for cryin' out loud–I never noticed that before!! I feel so silly! Thanks Cheryl! 🙂
Thanks, once again! I was going to email you when I noticed my followers weren't showing up…but, I thought it was just my computer. You are so tech savvy…I knew you'd have an answer.

Okay I don't want to seem like a bother but I have a question. I have been trying to upload my documents that I create using zamzar which coverts them to a pdf. The problem is that when I upload them the fonts change to a plain boring font. I don't know what I am doing wrong and thought perhaps you could help. I would greatly appreciate it! My email is pocketofkinders@gmail.com and my blog is

Hey Kristen!! I searched through your blog, but didn't find a tutorial on how to change the comments phrase (i.e., 3 high fives, 5 brain sprinkles, etc.) I've looked on the web and tried to play with their directions, but it didn't work. So, I figured I'd turn to you for some tips. How do you customize your comments phrase?
