Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior’s Blog: Site Reactions, part 2

Thank you, RA Warrior readers

Thank you for the many inspiring comments and emails. These last two weeks have been like a whirlwind. One day, I decided I just couldn’t wait any longer. I still do not have all my ducks in a row, but here we are anyway.
I have been working on my cool new RA website for a few months, whenever I get time. And I am closer than ever to getting that online and this blog will be a big part of it. Thanks to you who are getting on board from the very beginning.
There have been a few questions about how to best participate here on the blog. Here are some ways you can help:

Comment
Click on “comment” below a story. Write inside the comment box. Write as much as you like. Click “post comment.” I will reply as soon as I am able to do so.

Subscribe
This is just a way to make it easier for you to remember to read the blog every day. It’s like a newspaper subscription – only free. There are a few ways you can subscribe to Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior: Just click on the big orange and red “Subscribe” link at the side of the page. You’ll open a window to subscribe via RSS (that’s Really Simple Syndication) or Email. Just click to see your options.  You can choose a favorite reader or follow the Email option prompts. Then, a little permission window from your own computer will ask you to confirm / allow.

Link to the blog
If your site has linked to this blog, please be sure that the link is updated to match the url address of this website: https://www.rawarrior.com since lots of  links are still pointing to the old Blogger blog address. Is your own blog  a “do follow” blog? RA Warrior is a “do follow” blog for several reasons and I wish all websites / blogs were. Here’ s a post by a friend ChingYa which explains more about  “do follow.”  Here’s a blog post by Misc Bytes to tell you how to become a “do follow” blog too.

Share the blog with others
There are options at the end of each post which you can use to refer others to this post. These allow you to easily post this blog entry to Facebook, Twitter or Stumble, helping others to find the great content here.  If you choose “email” you can email a link to Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior to friends.  That is just to help more people find this RA blog.

My Bee Sting

Finally, yes, I did my shots yesterday and the other kind of site reaction continues also. I appreciate your concern and prayers as I try to unsubscribe to my bee sting. ;D (After about 6 months on Enbrel, it was discontinued. You can read more about that on this blog post.)
