		<description>Elizabeth - blogrolling uses javascript, which means the links don&#039;t count for anything on technorati and some other ranking tools. I don&#039;t recommend using it. There is an easy way to get the scrolling without javascript using html. I have the code online on my server - &lt;a href=&quot;http://fraudstars.info/~snoskred//scrolltxt.txt&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Scroll Bar HTML&lt;/a&gt; 

I have a new add to technorati faves graphic in my sidebar, if it is add to faves you had there, I can&#039;t remember now cos you took it down and it&#039;s been a long day. ;) I&#039;d say either put that on your about page, or somewhere towards the bottom of the right hand side, because people rarely use that button to fave blogs. Odd but true. 

I&#039;d also suggest you move the pay per post hire me to your advertise page because I had that right up the top of my sidebar and it doesn&#039;t work - people rarely click on them. In fact so much so that I deleted mine entirely and just put the icon there which allows people to join PPP if they want to.

The subscribe button should always be at the top of one of the sidebars, you&#039;ll find more people will subscribe that way. You could get a nice big icon - you don&#039;t need any text because the symbol is universal. I have a smaller one on my site because that is what Feedburner offered me. If you look at many of the blogs with high subscriber counts, you&#039;ll see they have a big subscribe button where people can&#039;t miss it.

Hope that is useful!

		<description>Crunchy-You&#039;re welcome :) I do think that making better use of the Page feature is really going to have to be the solution, even though that means that everything won&#039;t get seen unless people take the time to look at the sidebars, notice the links that go to the pages, and then click there. Which I certainly hope everyone does :)</description>

		<description>thanks for the comment on my blog. :)

as for the sidebar stuff, i say start some more pages for the stuff you can&#039;t fit on the main page. that&#039;s what i&#039;ve had to do. it&#039;s not the best solution, but it works. :)</description>
