About email subscriptions

    The subscription widget says: ”Click to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.“

    Is it a notification of a new post or is it the actual post in an email?
    Can I adjust whether the notification is a summery or the entire text?
    Are the pictures in the post also sent in the email notification?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I meant SUMMARY, not SUMMERY, although it is summer now. :-) ~Peregrine

    It’s the actual posts but please see here because you do have control over whether or not the subscribers receive a summary or the full post. >

    You can control how much of your blog posts get sent by using the full text or summary option on the reading settings page.

    P.S. May I suggest that you subscribe to your own blog?Because it’s a convenient way to know exactly what’s happening at the subscriber end of things.

    Double thanks,TimeThief! I clicked the links and followed instructions. Hope I did it all correctly. Also, I will now go and subscribe to my own blog, as you suggested.

    By the way, I already did send an email to the Support group yesterday about the very weird change in the formatting of my homepage. Somehow the white field for the black text turned to grey (as per the GREYZED theme) and the Comments are crawling up the right sidebar. That white field is very short, not allowing for the full post.

    If I click the ”See older posts“ link, the problem goes away and all looks normal again!

    I am wondering if this is peculiar to my blog or if this is somehow happening to others. I have no idea but am waiting to be contacted by a support person. ~Peregrine

    I’m glad you reported your font color change problem and sidebar issues to Staff. I’m sure they will respond to your support ticket just as soon as they can.

  • @lornakismet The Greyzed issue seems to be with an unclosed div tag in one of your posts. You may want to check your most recent two posts for any extra lines like:

    </div>

    Those can affect the blog’s layout like what you’re seeing.

    Andrew thanks for that email and this reply. Sadly, I went into the HTML section of the posts I thought might be the culprits, but I could not figure out where to look or what to do.

    I just now went and deleted the posts which were bizarrely formatted on the homepage, but I still have that small tiny white field for text, and consequently nothing much can be read easily.

    I have also replied to you in the email asking for more guidance. I do not understand what you wrote. The rest of my correspondence to you will be via the emails. Thank you. ~Peregrine
