Happy Monday, everyone. :)

I’m looking for a few volunteers who might be interested in helping to test an update to how blogs are followed which involves a change to the toolbar. If that sounds appealing to you and you have time to help out, please leave me a comment in a reply here.

Happy Monday. I’ll take a pass on this as it’s busy at work today.

No worries! What would happen is we’d enable the proposed new feature on your account, and then you could give feedback if you wanted to after that. It shouldn’t take long at all for anyone interested in trying it out.

Well, okay … lol :D but just in case don’t enable it on this account please. You can enable it on this account https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/thistimethisspace as it has has only a single blog registered under it that I’m not blogging in.

If this will lead to an email exchange let me know please as I don’t check my email religiously on that account because the blog is not being updated. I intend to remove my upgrades on both accounts and close the two blogs on November 20, 2015 when I will fully retire – yahoo!

May I email the address on file for your timethief account?

No please use (email visible only to moderators and staff) okay.

I have separate email addresses for both accounts. I do not want any unrelated email to arrive at my personal email address which is only for our business and my contracted work, so I don’t provide it.

Okay. I’ll log out of this account, log in under the other one, and head over to the email account that I registered it with.

Is anyone else interested in getting early access to new features when that option is available?? I would love to hear from you.

Hi designsimply, I’d be more than happy to volunteer to try the new feature if you are still looking for participants. I am new to wordpress.com but do run several other self-hosted wordpress sites, so I do have some experience if that is any use for your tests.

@lochgellyccadmin, thank you so much! I will be sending you an email shortly.

The only requirements for testing are a desire to help and the ability to give critical feedback with context and clear explanations.

Hey Sheri – I would be more than happy to help. Right now I only have one private .com site setup, so not sure if that works. If so, go for it!

So.. what are the details? I’d be happy to do it, I just don’t understand it and want more info before I jump in.

@levipierpont, thanks for replying! The details are that you would get early access to an update to the toolbar that we’re planning to make, and then you would have the opportunity to give us feedback about it before it’s launched. There are a few days left in the feedback window for the next feature update, are you still interested in helping to test?
