Alex,

Thanks for this video - I had heard so much about this particular plug-in, so I downloaded it, installed it an….err….stalled!

Now I’ve got this, I’ll give it another shot, with at least some hope in my poor, forlorn heart that I might this time succeed!

Thanks again

Steve

Thanks for this great video presentation. I wish there was an option to delay the relish e-mail (to give a more natural feeling to it), but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Thanks again!

Sure thing,

It actually could be a good thing. You grab your commenter attention while your blog is still fresh in their mind ;)

Hi Alex!

Great post! Nice video…very informative.

One thing, I used the contraction, in the subject area of the email for and when I upgraded preferences it changed to .
Went back and changed it to , upgraded prefs and it was fine. Not sure if that’s on my end or a glitch.

Thanks Len,

I haven’t seen the issue you describe and I had plenty of chances …

Must be something on your end.
