I am really enjoying reading your posts and the creativity you inspire. I also love to craft. I linked your blog to mine, and mentioned you in my most recent post (Wonderful Day). I'm a SAHM of identical twin girls.

If I have something I want replied to, I try to find a way to email the blogger. :) I'm just sorry for all those hours you spent writing emails that are floating out in cyberspace somewhere.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200991476565029183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-89698951794954320172008-09-01T19:53:00.000-04:002008-09-01T19:53:00.000-04:00Oh nooooooooo!What a bummer!Ah well, live & le...Oh nooooooooo!<BR/>What a bummer!<BR/>Ah well, live & learn I guess...XxxWorld Wide Alternativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136925137010566003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-81318312193056697252008-09-01T15:59:00.000-04:002008-09-01T15:59:00.000-04:00Thanks again for all of your kindness.

I don't know if there are that many choices (remember who you're listening to...computer genius, here), but if you click on my rotating mosaic badge, where it says create your own, it takes you directly to the page with several different templates.

Also I think your love and appreciation just shined through anyway. I didn't even know about comments until I started my own blog - duh!! I would read blogs and couldn't figure out how people were saying things to the blogger. And I've been trying to get a better flickr badge on my blog, and can't for the life of me figure it out.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-33995084579858993912008-09-01T10:38:00.000-04:002008-09-01T10:38:00.000-04:00I'm a relatively new reader, so I wouldn't be coun...I'm a relatively new reader, so I wouldn't be counted as one of those you're talking about, but I just wanted to say that I too am a little bit flumoxed by, not just the technology, but also the etiquette of responding to blog comments. Plus, I found myself getting easily overwhelmed with the comments. Sometimes I get emails from other bloggers and wonder when it is appropriate to respond on their blog, or in my own comments or with an email to their in boxes. <BR/><BR/>I've had my blog for years, but have only been getting comments on it since about March.

But I know we've emailed a bit, but I can't recall if they were through comments on your blog or mine! <BR/><BR/>I know I like to reply directly to comments as I feel it's more personal and as I don't have much time to revisit all the blogs I comment on, I don't expect others to either. So a direct email should be effective, however, I know sometimes my replies end up in spam filters and people don't know I'm replying. I guess it's hard to reach out on the 'net after all.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, in this long rambling comment, I think you're a warm, approacable individual with a grand heart and a sweet personality.

Thanks for you sweet wishes and thoughts. Feeling better already! I really feel so lucky to have this wonderful new community and just ached thinking that you might not know. I'm sure glad you enjoy your visits, though because I can't stop now, I'm having way too much fun...and my "savvy-ness" is increasing! <BR/><BR/> Linda, Thanks for being real...that's all I would ask of anyone. Unfortunately, I did respond to some of your comments in July when you were stopping by a lot...but out into the void they went.
