Alright, everyone who's smarter than me... (so, "everyone"):

I tried about 87 different ways to get the blasted thing onto my tool bar on Internet Explorer. No luck. I finally decided to try AOL (yes, go ahead, scream, we use AOL and darn it, we like it, so all you computer geeks who hate it may now take a moment to scream "A-O-L? more like A-O-HELL?" and all those witty anti-AOL things you computer geeks scream...)
Screamer
Done?
Shock 3
Good.

Now.

When I decided to try AOL, (no more screaming, you had your chance) I was able to drag the "Easy Subscribe Bookmarklet" thingy into the tool bar.

After much chanting and chest pounding and lifting of heavy things in demonstration of my prowess, I remembered my Southern Gentiility and sat back down to then go about adding people to my list.

I went to a website. I clicked my handy-dandy Easy Subscribe Bookmarklet button. And it popped up with 45 other blogs it "thought I might be interested in"... Now, many of these blogs were on the ROAK ring or other places that I wanted to add anyway, so I clicked okay for those, and went on to the next site I wanted to add...

It never gave me a screen again offering me the option to add blogs to my list. Figuring that maybe that person was not signed up with Bloglines, I went on to another blog. Actually about 15 other blogs.

I got "please verify your address" I got "please add our button to your blog" (four times) and a variety of other options, none of which were "do you want to add this site to your list?"
In The Garbage
So now what am I doing wrong?

Don't tell me...

I broke the internet.
Wow

okay, don't get upset if i am asking the obvious, but you are clicking on your bookmarklet at each of these blogs when you visit them, right?

yup

I go to the page, I click the button, and I get "please add our Bloglines button" or something else that is NOT "do you want to add this to your list"

Hey Amie - I'll make it a little easier for you. If you try a search on knitting, then you can just click on subscribe on the ones you want.

I started last sunday to methodically go through the KR ring to add all those, but I didn't finish. If you like you can see my subscriptions here: http://www.bloglines.com/public/cpikas
Scroll way down for knitting :) - you can export my subscriptions and import them into your account.
My blog also has a subscribe in bloglines link on the right hand side...
