Hi Eleanor Now you're asking. It was some time ago that I set this and I can't remember how. I do know it's in *settings*, so you could look for that on the site.

Now if I go on to my home page on fb will I then be able to turn on tht e-mail alert box that you are talking about. How do I do that? In other words where on the page will I look for that?
