Need some help.... I want to add a new Block (a keyword Block) to my Manage Blocks page, but can't figure out how to do it.
I've done it in the past -- I've had a "Keyword: banglist" Block for a long time -- but the layout of the Manage Blocks page appears to have changed since I last did this.
Many thanks in advance.

Select Account,
select “manage blocks”
last item is “popular keywords” — change region from ‘disabled’ to location: left, right, top, or bottom.
That should cause it to show up. You may have to re-open your browser.

No, that's not it.... I already have popular keywords enabled. What I'm trying to do is add a specific "keyword:____" as one of my sidebar categories.
I've done it before -- I have "keyword: banglist" on my sidebar -- but it looks like the function was changed or upgraded since then.
I do appreciate the reply, though -- thank you!

Do a keyword search for the search item you wish to add. That will bring up a page of articles using that keyword. At the bottom of the articles it says "Add to my page". If you click on that it brings up "My Page Layout". From there you can control where you want it placed on the page.
When you're ready scroll down and press Modify. It's now added to your page.

Thanks for this info. I had no idea we could enable only one keyword. “Coulter” is now added to my sidebar. Thanks again.

I had no idea we could enable only one keyword. Neither did I until I played around with it for a couple of minutes. :)

You’re welcome. Now can you tell me how to set the time on page? All times show up as Pacific and I’m in Central.

That time thing is something John did with the major changes last spring. I think it some css thing.
Anyway, the time is supposed to be determined by your computer settings.
I know. It doesn’t always work. Sometimes my browser glitches out and the time won’t update (I am in Central). Usually, I can just close and re-open the browser. Sometimes, however, even that doesn’t work.
Solution: ??????

Anyway, the time is supposed to be determined by your computer settings. Yes, I actually knew that. If I use Firefox or IE, the time shows as correct. In my prefered browser, Opera, the time has been 2 hours off since the changes in the spring. I just add 2 hours to whatever the posted time shows and I'm good to go. :)
