A Little Light Housekeeping

Not the real kind of course. Cause, well, I just don’t ever do that kind of housekeeping. It’s not my style πŸ™‚

First and foremost, is anyone else having a hard time with their Blogger reader?! I’m pretty sure mine is staging a rebellion and trying to get me feisty. And it’s working! I keep adding blogs that I want to read (or currently already do), and they just keep disappearing from my feed! Every morning I am adding the same blogs and by the next day, they are gone! Sooooo….if I’m not visiting you as much as you’d like, I’d contact Blogger. Clearly they are the root of all problems in this world!

Second of all, someone (I forget who!) asked me if I was on twitter. Nope, sorry, but I’m not. Twitter and I don’t really see eye to eye. Or really anywhere along the same horizon. I tried it out a few weeks back for a race but I thought it was so silly, so I immediately deleted my account afterwards. If you want to chat with me, we’ll have go all old-school blog or email style πŸ™‚

Next on the list….Ali Mc over at Running with Spatulas suggested I take off my word verification for my comments area. The extra awesome part? Um, I’m pretty sure I forgot that was on there! I don’t ever leave myself comments (obviously) so I totally forgot about that. So you know what? I think that’s a good idea! I’m gonna go do that….once I figure out how. Baby steps, people. Baby steps.

Know what else? The most crucial and serious piece of information you will read all day long….. Go enter my giveaway!! It’s pretty much your last chance. Well, technically you have until Monday, but since I don’t really ever post on the weekend, this will be my last opportunity to harass you about it. And since I’m considerate like that, I’d like to take advantage of this moment. Know what I’m saying?

    Running off the Reeses recently disappeared from my feed. All this time, I thought she was on vacation.

    My biggest blogger problem…my life got boring and I don’t feel like writing. And I need to redo my header since it currently has orange leaves! Nothing big here!

    Speaking of comments, I don’t use blogger but I do have a suggestion. I just read a post by Katie at Will Race for Carbs about a really user friendly commenting dealio. Blogger’s standard comments are rather annoying and hard to fill out. Check out this post for more details – http://katieaschmidt.blogspot.com/2011/11/comments-and-coping.html

    And again, just a suggestion, I don’t know jack about Blogger! πŸ™‚

    PS – headed to WP tomorrow for opening day?!

    My biggest blogger problem recently is I upgraded IE and it isn’t compatiable…it wouldn’t let me publish my posts so I had to uninstall and switch back.

    Glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t tweet and doesn’t clean house. πŸ™‚

    lol I love that I got a shout out for …..telling-suggesting>??- you what to do! lol

    I don’t know how to do it in the “new blogger” only the old one. but you can have it by all means πŸ™‚ it is your blog!

    I just hate them!!!! so lately I’ve been telling everyone to get rid of them. lol

    I love the fact that you don’t tweet. I tweet but most of the time I don’t even know what I;m doing.

    One time I spent a weekend away /w the boys that developed twitter – I used to be a blogger remember (I’m just now coming back) lol

    I am slightly unhappy with my blogger, but seeing as how I am already trying to use a foreign computer device (Mac), changing to something else unknown, like WP, scares me. I had to switch to my old Blogger style to even take the word verification off my comments (which I have been trying to do for some time now, but couldn’t figure it out on the new blogger system), so I sent them a message complaining about it. I don’t like how un-interactive the commenting system is in blogger either. I’m going to try that site, Ali MC!
    I only use twitter to stalk celebrities I think are funny and to get local news. I think it’s silly to say things on Facebook and turn around and say it on my twitter and then write the long version on the blog! Too. Much. Effort.

    Yes I hate that word verification step! Thank goodness yours is gone πŸ™‚

    I’m not with Blogger anymore…switched to self hosted WordPress and I love it. I haven’t had any problems yet!

    Very cute pintrest things, I especially LOVE the tea light in the mason jars. I am going to have to do that myself.

    And thanks for the shout out in your post yesterday. And huge huge thanks for the supportive words with the marathon!

    It was really tough, but I’m glad that I did it. AND you’re right, we’re going to have to find a half ironman to sign up for!
