Ladyshadow, I wonder if that's why I can't follow certain blogs (the independent domain). I mean, I can bookmark them, but they aren't going in my reader for some reason. I'll give it one more try on the desktop next time.

Maybe you folks could add me first. I'll share my username. It's shrimpandbeans
Maybe you folks can try adding me as a viewer from your end. I'd still rather give my blog in PM though, just so I know who's interested...just while I still have it in private mode. Thanks!
