Some Help Please?

It’s Saturday and you know what that means, my fine blogger buds. Time for SoCS brought to us by the lovely Linda G Hill. Today’s prompt word is spruce.

I’m getting very frustrated that I can’t find some of the blogs I follow regularly in my reader!! Dan Anton’s, for instance. I see the blog in my email, but when I look for him in the reader to comment, he hasn’t been there. I finally found him under the “likes” tab, but the comments were off.

Sorry, Dan, but the comment I had for you will have to wait I guess.
Thank goodness when you follow someone you get the blogs to your email. The reason I look for them in the reader to comment is because if I try to reply directly to the blog, I have to sign in over and over! I bypass that in the reader because I’m already in my Jetpack area.

Also, when my media file gets lots of pictures in it, my whole blog slows down. (Or it seems like it to me) When I thin them out, it seems to help.

The rain is coming down here in Florida and has been since early morning. In fact, it has been raining off and on here for a week! The temps have been on the cool side, but hey, I’ll take 50s thru 70s any day compared to 30s or lower!!

Yesterday we enjoyed a lazy day of watching Christmas movies and other cheesy kinds of movies. I love a romcom! I love the full-length movies I’ve been finding on YouTube! They are movies I never saw on regular tv even though they have big stars. Yesterday, I watched Fathers and Daughters. Not a romcom but very touching.

Well we are winding down to Christmas and I’m hoping the steroids I’m taking now will have me more pain free and a bit more mobile for my visit with my sister Barb and family. My gifts to the boys and brother were a hit so far, (Chris and Kevin probably get theirs today), and what cards I sent out have mostly been received.

I hope someone more tech savvy than me can help with my blogging query, cause that is the only area I can technically spruce up right now. We keep our tiny space pretty clean, but I did have to clean a spot of unknown origin off the carpet yesterday with some Resolve. It worked great! My other complaint is that we didn’t decorate, but then again, it just seemed a bother to both of us right now. I can’t blame Dave for not wanting to go under the bus for them when the rain hasn’t really let up much.

  2. I don’t really know how to assist you with the Reader. I still have everyone I follow coming to mine. Maybe uninstall the app and reinstall it and restart your phone?

  3. I wish I could help, Kim. I’ve been working through problems on my blog since November. People can’t comment. People can’t correct typos in their comments (as if I’d notice) and people stranded in the photo gallery. Some have been “fixed,” others seem to work intermittently for some people.

    The only think I haven’t tried is changing my theme. The theme I use is still being recommended by WP, so I don’t think it should be a problem, but I’m going to try to change it next week. Hang on to those emails – I fear this is going to be a wild ride.

    Merry Christmas, and thanks for working so hard to find me.

  4. Merry Christmas Eve Eve. LOL That’s what our family calls it. haha

    I sure hope the rain lets up so you can enjoy some nicer weather. I thought we would have a white Christmas like usual, but the temps have been warmer than usual, around 35-40°F. I’m still holding out for snow. We have a couple more days to hope. lol

    I hear you on the comments problem. My site was problematic for a more than a few. Then, I realized my theme had switched over to its own comment form rather than the Jetpack one. Once I changed it back, I think things are better now.

  6. Wish I could help and I am doing good to weeping post at all for rolling on! Of course I’m glad the expiration date go in November so that means I have another yr to get myself in gear. I have post in my draft that has been in there for a while and I have been doing a little at a time with it! Thinking next week I will get it done.

    Praying about the steroids! I have a movie for you that is on YouTube and is free! It is called “I still believe” and it is based on a true story! Christina and I were getting ready to go to the movies to watch it when codid happened and everything was taken out of the theaters for a while! When iris came we ended up watching it! She fell in love with it and made her husband watch it as well! It is a faith-based film. I may have mentioned it to you before!

    Hope the rain lets up for you to have a dry and joyful Christmas!

  8. I wish I could help with WP but they’ve been really odd lately to me as well. I know a few people who follow my blog who have suddenly not been following but not because of anything they did. Tis’ the seasons for WP gremlins, I guess. Anyway, decorations aren’t the main thing about Christmas as I know you know, so I hope yours was blessed anyway.
