Yesterday I posted an idea on how to make it simpler for those who would like to subscribe to your blog to do so. It occured to me that it might be helpful to lay out how to find the information needed to create the button and link like the example below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click the button below to Subscribe to my Phoenix Arizona Real Estate blog!
Click here to make sure you see future entries on my blog
Scroll down to leave a comment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to one of your own blog posts.
Next, "right click" on the Subscribe to Blog/Unsubscribe button above your head on the top right of the page when you are looking at your own blog - you'll find this DOES NOT give you the information you need.
There may more than one way to get the information you DO need - however - I simply positioned the cursor elsewhere on the page (to the left of the photo) did a "right click / view source" - then did a search "find" UNSUBSCRIBE. Why not SUBSCRIBE? The information you need is a string that looks like this:
/action/blogs_admin/unsubscribe?subscribed_agent_id=8436
But wait - there's more!
The string you need to create is the following:
http://activerain.com/action/blogs_admin/subscribe?subscribed_agent_id=8436
and MAKE SURE the final numbers are YOUR agent ID. In my case - that's 8436. In your case - it's something different - unless you want the "clicker" to subscribe to my blog instead of yours!
The Subscribe to Blog "button" was a very quick (and could use some improvement) text from word to Paint to JPG then uploaded the same as any other image.
Don't forget to test it before you publish it to make sure it works!
Hope this helps make it easier for your readers to subscribe to your blog than having to scroll back up to the top of the page and clicking the button above your head!
Now - if you think you want to be the first to know more helpful tips:

Tony, thanks that's a great idea.
Gary - Hope it helps!
then did a search "find" UNSUBSCRIBE
How do you do a search once your are looking at the page source? Why search unsubscribe?
Maureen - That brought me to the string I needed for the button. In View Source do "Edit" "Find" to search.
Tony - OK I see what you did. I did not know you could search stuff on the page source page. Wow, you learn something new every day. I got my # here is my link. I'll have to create a button to go with it now. Thanks so much.
