    1) that’s a gorgeous blog

    2) the front page is so huge that it nearly crashed my browser, so you may want to consider using the More tag on your posts or reducing the number of posts on the front page

    3) I’m no expert on that theme, but it seems to me there is an unclosed tag somewhere, because the font is “Faded” and thin in spots, particularly in the sidebar. Under Settings->General or Settings->Writing can you confirm that you have “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” selected? That MAY be a factor here.

    Thanks vey much Raincoaster. It’s late in this part of the world (Ireland) so I will check out all those things you suggest tomorrow.

    I technically challenged so I am not even sure what my front page is I thought it was just the first ten posts. I need to do some research.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hello there,
    This is the URL for you post feed and I do see your latest post in it http://justaddattitude.com/feed/

    There are two main types of email notifications that you’ll receive from WordPress.com.

    What if the emails aren’t getting through?
    If you’re not receiving notification emails:
    Check the Settings > Discussion page to make sure email notifications are turned on.
    Check the spam/junk folder in your email program to make sure the messages weren’t filed there by mistake.
    If you are still having trouble, contact support Staff for help and please include an example of a post URL where you expected to receive a comment or other notification.

    Thank you Timethief for your help. The email notification to me about the post has now come through: I am not sure why it didn’t do so straight away but I am glad that it has now arrived. It looks like my subscribers have received it as well as I have had a couple of comments.

    Thanks again

    And TT can tell you: I don’t hand out compliments to just ANY blog.
