Can I Follow Myself?

This may sound silly, but I'm going to check if I can follow myself.  I want to see what others see in the Reading List in the Dashboard.

Edit: LOL. Yep, I can. Surprised smile Jessie runs around in circles following herself now. Confused smile

Double Email Notification - Learning the Site

Ok, so I'm getting double email notifications when someone posts a comment to my blog.  There are two places to put in an email address and I have both set.  This is under the Settings tab, then the Comments section.
---------- And ----------

So, I've taken my email address out of the first one and I will post a comment and see what happens but I wonder if I should take it out of the second one and leave the first one?

Edit 1: After the first two comments, I received one email each. Yay! However, both were published to my blog without moderation required.  For me commenting as me, that makes sense because lord knows I don't need to censor myself, but the one I posted as Anonymous was also published without my approval.  Is that because I'm still signed in and the site recognized me anyhow? So, now I will log out and post a comment anonymously.

Edit 2: I was about to say I didn't get the notification for comment 3 posted truly anonymously, but right after I signed back in here to check and I published it, I got the email. Maybe I didn't wait long enough.

Edit 3: Nope. I goofed. It sent me the email after I published the comment to tell me there was a new comment.  So, it's not doing what I want it to do now. :(

So, let's take the email address out of the second spot and put it in the top one.  That prolly makes more sense anywho since I want notification of new comments to approve and I really don't need an email telling me I clicked the publish button.

Edit 4: Yay! That works like I want it too. Now if some registered user will post me a comment, I can see if it works when they post since the site is smart enough to not require me to moderate my own comments to myself. lol

Edit 5: Thank you, Dakota. It is now working exactly like I want it too. I get an email when there are comments to moderate whether it's a registered member or anonymous and no email when I publish them. Yay! Problem solved.

Edit 6: Ok, so now I changed my mind and turned off the moderation so the comments will appear as soon as they are posted while still leaving anonymous allowed. I'll see how that goes.

My Counted Cross Stitch Project.

Here's what I've done so far.  I'm going to work on the castle spire by the dragon's head next.



Here's what it will look like when I finish it.


This is an old pattern I picked up at a garage sale or flea market.  (I forget which. lol)  It is by Dreamscape and was designed by Teresa Wentzler.  The instructions call for using 14-count Aida, but I'm using 11-count so it will be 18 1/4" x 16 1/4" when I'm done.  This means there are less holes per inch which makes it larger and I'm using four strands of floss rather than two to get good coverage.

Initial Test

Ok. So, this is my first blog entry. Exciting, no?
