Can someone please explain how to stumble?

[chrissie]

I don't mean, the purpose of stumbleupon, how to download the toolbar, how to review a site, raves on how great it is, or how to add a friend.

I know all of the above. I need to know how to actually stumble a site. If someone says, can you please stumble "insert web page here" I don't know how to do it after I type in the website in my browser. I have 2 M.A.s and I can't figure this out, it's embarrassing.

I have googled and digged and yahooed looking for the answer to this, but have yet to find anything that will teach this stumbling idiot how to perform a stumble.

I will seriously HAPPILY stumble anyone that can help me with this one. Please. Talk to me like I am a two year old.

I found this article on how to use stumble upon.

If that doesn't answer your question lemme know, TBH I don't use it much but I did notice that if you click on the Thumbs Up you can add a site.

That is an excellent resource, I will definitely keep that handy. She offers quite a bit for the idiot like me. A lot in there I had NO CLUE about. In fact, it is SO good that she pretty much covers everything BUT the absolute basic. ROFL

Which leaves me to believe that the actual stumble must be so simply freaking mind numbingly EASY that it has just gone way over my head somehow. But I didn't know that about the add your site thing, that's awesome. THANKS for the tip and the resource!

StumbleUpon is based on where people attracted to on the Internet. People when surfing the web will give the website a or thumbs down. As soon as this is done you can either view all the other people on the web that like that too, or write your own review of that individual page, wherever you are. Webmasters are attracted to StumbleUpon because virtually millions of readers will see this information. One post of interesting calibur could provide an extra 100-2000 hits. Certainly a service that allows your posts to gain popularity on their own accord. Hope that helped.

Thanks for the help!! So, does this mean the click is the actual stumble?

Yes, and when you press stubmble you are sent to a recent site. Its a cycle.

Brian, I can't even BEGIN to tell you how grateful I am for spelling that out for me. Thank you, thank you, THANK you. This question has been boggling me for days, probably more. I am at the wrong computer now, but will definitely be stumbling/reviewing you first thing in the morning. Can I add you as a friend also?

I also am going to be entering your contest, just cuz it looks fun. Now, question, off topic yes, but since I have you here, lol, after I meet your requirements for the contest, can I add a link in the same post for another of your contests? I can see you have quite a few categories my readers might be interested in......Tx!

No problem Chrissie, stumbling is pretty hard to understand as it is. It would be awesome if you entered the contest, and you can definitley link back to me however you'd like. My blog is young but I am trying to do everything properly, you understand. Alright, thanks!
