Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I just switched two days ago to Mail Chimp and it was so nice to just be able to enter a person onto the list and not have to have them confirm.  I was having trouble with my old mailing list (actually Bravenet) because a person who wanted to be on my mailing list wasn't getting the confirmation emails from them so that she couldn't confirm and because of that she kept getting popped off the mailing list.  I suspect that the emails got put into her spam bucket and she couldn't retrieve them.  I had been thinking about switching to Mail Chimp for many months because I wasn't thrilled with the limits that Bravenet puts on the number of newsletters you can send out and all of the adverts--this was just the last straw.

So far, so good with Mail Chimp!  I also like that there aren't any ads!

Thanks, Ann-Marie!  There are so many wonderful bears on the preview page.    

Oooooo!   What a sweet little bear!!!     Great design! :clap:

Thank you SO much, everyone, for your sweet comments!!  I'm so glad that you like him.  I've been really pleased with the direction that I'm taking with my bears.

Benny is a sweet 13-inch guy with needlefelted eyelids and footpads and a wobble-jointed head for cute posing.  I'm really pleased with how he turned out and with the direction I've taken with my bears.  I hope you like him as much as I do.  He'll be available at the online Blooming Bear Show starting at 8:00am March 12th through 9:00pm March 13th.  Here's the site:  http://www.teddiesworldwide.com/ .

If you visit the site now, you will see the preview bears for the 74 other artists.  It looks like it's going to be a great show!

Oh no!      I hope you feel better soon, Jenny. :hug:

Joanne, they are truly FABULOUS!!!     Amazing work!! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Thanks, Joanne.  I've found the RSS feed and it says I'm using it, but when I go to that page to edit it, there is absolutely no information on it.  Sometimes FB just puzzles me.  Maybe there is another RSS feed that I'm actually signed up to (as opposed to the Social RSS feed).  But then why would the Social RSS feed say that I'm using it?  I suppose the same reason that Networked Blogs is now on my apps page--because I looked at their pages yesterday.  Uggg.

Okay, now!  That is just TOO, TOO CUTE!!    

Awww!  What a handsome, little sweetie!

I've had a heck of a time with the RSS feed.  Sometimes it doesn't show up until DAYS after I've made the blog post.  Does anyone know how to get OFF of the RSS feed, so that I can sign up for the Networked Blogs?  I looked and looked on Facebook this evening and finally gave up.
Thanks,
Cheryl

CONGRATULATIONS, everyone!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
