BLOGGER NEWS FLASH –

Finally, the day has arrived [after I've attempted so many ways and 'know-hows' with help of friends who know xlm coding and are known to me as 'experts' because they continually put up with me and my questions and helping me online {mainly my son's girlfriend who programs computers} trying to help me adjust and redo several things with Blogger's layout]. Especially the commenting section. I have never cared for their comments either opening up in a pop-up window OR a whole new window. My preference has always been the inline commenting as you find with WordPress Blogs. But either I could get the comment to be on the blog entry itself —and it would work, then something ELSE with Blogger’s xml wouldn’t work properly.

NOW!! Blogger has heard our voices and pleas! With Blogger you can now chose to embed your comments UNDER your blog’s entry!

If you have tweaked your blog’s layout in any way, it may take some ‘doing’ on your part to get it to work properly. It’s supposed to now open your blog’s entry and the clicking of the comment link will take you directly below the blog post to the comment window itself. ALL on one page. It’s still not WordPress, but it’s getting there! [I am trying yet to figure out how some of blogspot's bloggers have the comments right in view of the blogpost without clicking. I will continue to see if I can get it to be exactly like WordPress. Someday.]

But for now, it’s quite simple.

BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL TEMPLATE/LAYOUT FIRST!!!!
You need to go to Blogger’s Dashboard Draft [while logged in of course], Settings, then go to comments tab. You will then see three options under ‘COMMENT FORM PLACEMENT’ —

  1. FULL PAGE
  2. POP-UP WINDOW
  3. EMBED BELOW POST
Click on “Embed…” and save settings.

It should then have the comments/and comment window directly below the day’s blog post! Good luck!!

If for some reason, it doesn’t work, you have your backup layout to re-ad to the edit html

…and now, on to the

This week’s theme/prompt is:

Ahhhhhhh mother.
[My link found just below about my mother should open in a new window!]

- – -

Well since I did a whole write-up about my OWN mother with the Fun Monday prompt for “hero”, I had to come up with something of a different perspective for the word mother —I’ll use each letter to represent something associated with ME -’cause I’m a mother of two myself and grandmother of two. Here’s my rendition of the “heads” toss for this week….

M

I love Movies! And this is a new print hubby purchased a few days ago for me -of one of my favorite love stories…Casablanca [Rick & Lisa played by Bogart & Bergman]

O

I like Ornamental objects! The left photo is my Miska™ Crystal cross that’s on my bedstand, an the right photo is my newest crystal windchime I found at a store on the island!

T

I collect some Toys!!! Of course some are ‘movie’ themed while others aren’t. The top left is “Tom Mater” from the animated movie, CARS [small frontal insert too]. I fell in love with that character! The top right is a gigantic stuffed tiger that is lounging at my bedside. On the bottom left is a soft sculpted stuffed tiger [I have several] propped up by my bookshelf in the bedroom. The bottom right photo is a monkey puppet. There’s a story behind this. It’s old! I bought it when Irene and Erik were VERY small, and I’d use it…while the kids would ask him questions and I’d answer in a ‘monkey voice’…they giggled beyond belief at this…we had hours of fun with it, and they both always comment upon seeing it hanging from my rattan room divider! It’s a family thing, and he’s a great piece of family history.

Hawaii is a favorite of mine! If we could afford it, we’d be livin’ there right now. We spent two weeks on the island of Oahu, with our son as the tour guide. He took a two week leave from the Marine Corps when he was stationed in Okinawa and we met him there in Honolulu! It was an awesome, unforgettable trip! I still bring up the fact that the first night I wanted to see the sun set over Waikiki Beach, the two guys [Bud and Erik] told me it was the same ol’ sun I see over in the continental America, but boy howdy did they every shut up when we got there from the hotel that first night and the ‘whole city of tourists’ were there also! I turned around and got the one photo of Diamondhead at dusk, and the other photo is taken off Pali Highway –a tourist stop is on the divide…and what a view of the bays and Pacific Ocean!! [This is also where I fell in love with the flower -state flower- the Hibiscus!]

A favorite sandwich of mine is EGG SALAD! I could actually gorge myself on this stuff. Thing is, now, I must limit my cholesterol intake, and I’ve learned a delicious way to fix this favorite….

    6 large eggs [or in my case I cook Egg Beaters and chill to well cooled]
    1-2 tablespoons no-fat mayonnaise
    Salt and pepper
    A tiny squeeze of lemon juice
    2 stalks celery, washed and chopped finely
    1/2 bunch chives, chopped
    2 small handsful of lettuce
    8 slices of whole grain bread, toasted

[recipe can be halved for two sandwiches]

I have seriously learned to take time to Relax! And I’ve learned from the best of ‘em!! Here are my mentors on relaxation skills! Left is Tahoe, on the desk to the left of the computer…on the right is Winston, stretched over the keyboard’s keypad! [Both are at the same time, AND I'm in the middle typing away with one finger, not to disturb our royal family! They both always come up on the desk with me in the morning...it's a ritual.]
