Am
I the only one who finds himself slipping over to the dark side with homicidal
thoughts regarding my beloved computer?
I’ve considered blowing it away, but a shotgun blast inside the house
would destroy what hearing I have left. I remember shooting a gopher with a 12
gauge shotgun from my kitchen once. I couldn’t hear anything for a week.
Lately I’ve had many friends email
me regarding an article on my blog. They
respond by email because they can’t put comments on my blog. There are a few people who seem to know how
to get through the maze, but many more who quit trying. After my last blog about Dachau , I received a ton of interest and many
comments by email. That happens with
every post and invariably the writer will say that he or she tried to leave a
comment, but “it didn’t take.” But most
have given up.
Based on readership, I should be getting
a lot of comments. Either I don’t know
how to make the darn thing work right or “BlogSpot” has a lousy system. I apologize to all of you who have tried to
add a comment only to wonder what happened to it.
I asked a couple of people how to
go about posting comments. Here is what
one of them said:
In response to
your question re: posting comments on your Blog:
- Click
on 'comments' in the blog where you want to respond
- Enter
your comment in the 'white box'
- Click
on the down arrow to the right of 'Comment As'
- Drop
Box will then appear
- In
the Drop Box, Click on 'Name/URL' which is towards the bottom of the
list of options
- 'Edit
Profile Box' will appear
- In
the Edit Profile Drop Box, Enter your name where requested, and for the
URL, enter your email address. Sometimes you can leave URL
blank.
- Click
on 'Continue'
- Click
on 'Publish Box'
- And
then in a few seconds you see your comment
I don’t
know why they make it so difficult, but you might try these steps. Someone else said to make a comment under
“anonymous.”
Gayle and I will be spending time
with kids and grandkids for a couple of weeks, so I may not get around to
blogging, but as Arnold
says, “I’ll be back.” And don’t forget
to fly the flag on July 4th.
Let's see if this worked.
ReplyDeleteOK, I did as instructed. The first try I entered my email address and got a message say the URL contained illegal characters. The second try I just entered my name and left the URL blank. That werked.
ReplyDeleteIT'S WORKING. IN THE HOUSE SHOTGUN NOT NEEDED.
ReplyDeleteHave a WONDERFUL TIME in the 'Big City'.
Finished weeding the property, and the American Flag is flying at both Flag Poles.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY RALPH AND GAYLE

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Thanks for the tip. Maybe that's a clue.

ReplyDeleteYour instructions were so clear and concise that I published them just as you sent them. Evidently they helped Bob get through the maze.
I just had to jump through hoops just to respond. I may still go for the shotgun.
Ralph, we are at RK & KLK's home for a few days. Enjoy Los Gatos.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time, Ed, and say "hi" to the Koskela clan for us.
