Reminder

Just wanted folks to remember to put up a jump in your blog posts with the upcoming April Yarns. We want to protect against spoilers!

This is a link on how to do this in Blogger
http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42215

I'm not sure how else to do it in other blog types.

Ring Clean Up

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know I did some housekeeping on the ring this past night. A few sites were shifted back to the queue because the link information wasn't working correctly. When you join the ring, be sure to copy and paste the HTML they provided you into your blog side bar. If done correctly you will have a link to this blog and under that there will be a Prev and Next link.

Here's a current list of those sites that are active. The ring works as a ring once more, so go take a loop around it. It's quite fun to see all the things being made out there!

I have emailed those who were removed because of the incorrect link information and provided them with the correct HTML. Email me when those of you manage to get that done and I'll get you back into the ring ASAP.

If you go HERE you can see the active list with links. Trust me, there is no easy way to copy this to the blog!

As usual if you have any questions feel free to contact me at

Sara Skates and knits and parents and ... I'm a 40-something lesbian academic co-parent (to a stunningly gorgeous and typical 10 year old and a charming perfect 7 year old blondie boy with CP) who spins, knits, and figure skates. Blog topics are scattered at best. No, that's not me in the picture - that's Tenley Albright, but I'm working back patch loops, and that's what she's doing. They're stunningly difficult. Fine motor skills with your feet on a skinny little blade...

FAQ

FAQ


Back to Rockin Sock Club Ring Page

1. How do I get the Knitting Blog picture to show up?

2. How do I add the ring code to my template in TypePad?

3. When will I be added to the ring?




1. How do I get the Rockin Sock Club picture to show up?
Go to theRockin Sock Club 07 Ring Homepage and copy the image to your own server space. Link to it from there.


2. How do I add the ring code to my template in TypePad?

Here is what TypePad support says to do:

"You should be able to add that into the Notes section of a Link TypeList, and then set the configuration for the TypeList to "display notes as text". That should do the trick."


3. When will I be added to the ring?

I have to *manually* check every one of these blogs. Until your blog is checked it will remain in the queue. Be patient. It could take a few days or several weeks for your site to be moved to the ring. If you meet the requirements and you get the code up on your blog, you will be added. Please do not email me and ask when you will be added. This takes up time that I could be checking and adding sites to the ring.

To clarify, I check the queue several times a week and add qualified blogs to the ring. your blog is considered qualified if:


* You have added the Rockin Sock Club blog ring code to your template.

* You blog shows Rockin Sock Club/knitting content and consistent posting. (Weekly for at least a month.)
