Explore Posterous

For awhile now I have been trying to figure out the advantages of using StumbleUpon. I had given up on it and decided that it wasn’t something that I was interested in. Then one day, someone I don’t know stumbled one of my posts. I began to see a lot of traffic and I had a good idea which post it was but I could not figure out who stumbled the article. After about 2 weeks of research, reading blogs, commenting and bookmarking post, I discovered some things that have now made me a SU convert.

First, I found out about the Su.pr link shortener (http://su.pr/) and the amazing traffic increases achieved for blaineblogger.com. I like link shorteners, and I use ow.ly which I get from my Twitter client of choice HootSuite. But when Blaine show me his tracking data, I was ready to make the switch, even if only for a few days.

I was still left with these two questions which I left as comments for blog authors that I follow:

1.      I am getting some traffic on my WP.com blog from SU. When I click the link that appears in my referrers list, I get a page that says “Your page is on SU…create campaign”. But what I really want to find out is – what page has been submitted, who submitted it and who viewed it.

2.      Alternatively, I just want to search SU by post title but I don’t see where I can do that.

I got the answers that I need from Kristy in an email:

“If you have the Stumble Toolbar, what you want to do is go to the particular post on your site, and hit the Info button.  This will show you who submitted it, reviews, etc.  The new Stumble will show how many people have viewed it from the Stumble link, but not necessarily who viewed it, only those that thumbed it up.”

Now I get it and I hope you will too.

Smooches.

With the latest toolbar release, I thought I would revisit how to setup the email checker within your Streaming Internet Radio toolbar.

#1- To set up a email account for your toolbar to check, and alert you to messages, click on the E-mail Notifier down arrow, select Settings.


#2 – A pop-up window will now open – here you must enter your account information. For this tutorial, I will use Gmail as the example. Click on the New button to begin.


#3 – After clicking on the New button – another window will open, enter your E-mail address and your password, then click the Add button.


#4 – Now, the Streaming Internet Radio toolbar will check that the information you have entered is correct, and that your email account can be accessed via your toolbar. If the check has been successful, you can continue. Click Done, or Add Another Account. If the E-mail check was a failure, review your account details, and try again.


#5 – Now, when you receive E-mail, you will receive a alert in your toolbar (a yellow star will appear), and a E-mail Notifier Alert box will appear near your taskbar.


#6 – If you don’t want to receive Email Notifier Alerts via your toolbar, click the Don’t alert me about emails tick box.

#7 – Should you wish to Edit the settings for your Email account, in your toolbar, click Settings (via the drop down arrow). Click on the account you wish to alter, then click on the Edit button.


#8 – A new pop up window will open, click the Account tab to alter your log in details. Or, click the Preferences tab to alter the way your toolbar checks and alerts you to E-mail. Click OK, and OK again when you have updated your toolbar.


Adding a POP3 email account is similar to above – click on Settings, then continue to Add a new E-mail account. In the pop up window, click Add a POP3 account – another window will open where you can add your account information – this information can be obtained from your E-mail service provider.
