Q: I’m having trouble registering or logging in to comment because I haven’t received an email with my new password. What’s going on?
A: Some email systems block the email containing your new password as spam. If you haven’t received the email within a couple hours of the request (and it’s not in your spam folder), please email Amy at Amy_Wilkins[at]Harlequin[dot]ca so I can reset your password manually (you can change it afterward).
Q: What if I want to comment but don’t want to register?
A: Good news — you no longer have to! Just use the form at the bottom of each post page, and remember to fill in the required fields.
Q: I’m a Presents author/reader — how can I get something posted to the blog?
A: If you’re interested in writing a post for I Heart Presents — or just have a bit of news you think would be of interest to other Presents fans — please send an email to Amy_Wilkins[at]Harlequin[dot]ca or
Q: What are those “Browse the Book” things at the bottom of some posts?
A: Those are Browse the Book widgets! They allow you to read the first chapter of the book exactly as you’d see it in print form — just click the “Browse this Book” link. Clicking “Add to your Site” will give you a code to add the widget to your own site or blog, and “Buy this Book” will take you the book detail page on eHarlequin.com where you can learn more about the book and purchase a copy.
You can see similar Look Inside the Book widgets at many publisher and online retailer sites. Competitive sales figures show that using this feature increases book sales so we do encourage authors to include their widget on their web pages.
More Browse the Book widgets are available for all Harlequin Presents books and other Harlequin imprints at www.eharlequin.com
Q: What is RSS?
A: I (Heart) Presents is available via RSS which stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and/or “Rich Site Summary”. RSS feeds enable Internet users to automatically receive instant news and information updates from I (Heart) Presents and other Web sites. The I (Heart) Presents RSS feed is just what it sounds like – a simplified version of posts from this site.
You collect and read RSS feeds by using what’s called a “feed reader” or “feed aggregator”, which is updated automatically when new posts and content is published there. The reason people use these services (and they are generally free) is because it allows them to enjoy stories from many of their favorite blogs and websites all in one place rather than having to review each one individually. So once you subscribe, posts will come to you until you decide to unsubscribe, which is also very easy.
Q: What does subscribing mean?
A: When you subscribe to the RSS feed for I (Heart) Presents, every time we publish a new post, it will automatically appear in your reader. You don’t need to provide any personal information, it’s free and very easy to use.
Q: How do I subscribe to I (Heart) Presents?
A: On the right hand column of this site, you’ll see an icon for RSS – when you click on it, a menu will drop down that will allow you to choose a feed reader. All you need to do is click on your preference and the site will prompt you through a simple sign up process. Once you have registered with a feed reader, whenever you visit a site you really like, you simply click on the RSS button or the custom button for your specific fee reader, and you will be automatically subscribed to that site’s feed. It’s a lot easier to manage than bookmarking your favorite pages, and you’ll never miss an important post again!
