Further to my post of 18th August, “Blogger Blocked!” I decided to tidy up my Blogroll and place the webpages that I am no longer able to comment on for one reason or another into the archives. Perhaps one day they will become more accessible when people realise that their comments are dropping off. Stupid keywords: This doesn’t mean that I don’t read your blog anymore, I do, but not being able to give feedback I find frustrating. On some I can’t even email because there is no email address. The other reasons are that Blogger doesn’t now recognise my WordPress page on my domain and spits my comments out, and some links were to “dead” pages; no longer being updated. The answer? Simples, just enable comment moderation and either approve friends or reject the spam ones as I do. I know it can be time consuming, but what is a few minutes of your time compared to losing your bloggy friends? You should make it easy to comment and not cause the commenter a lot of bother just to write a few words. Click on one of the pictures above, and when it comes up on it’s own page type into the comment box what you think the number and letters are. End of Rant.

Rant heard and acknowledged. Now, about those spy cams all over the place…we’re getting them, too.

I know exactly what you mean. I just tried to drop a quick (very complimentary) comment on our old friend Justin’s new blog, only to discover I had to have a username and password for WordPress in order for it to be sent! I wouldn’t mind so much if it wasn’t for the fact that I used to have one but deleted my account after having played around experimenting on there for a while.

Maybe this is also a sign of the end of blogging as we know it? After all, Tw*tter and Fa**cesBook seem to have taken over now. |

Here are a few facts, which might help you decide if you've had the unfortunate experience of meeting me in real life or not ... I am 75 going on 30, divorced and available. I enjoy French cooking, drinking lots of wine, (French of course!) and holidaying in France (on a pittance, I might add!). I also have a passion for amateur radio and electronics. I design and make stained glass windows now purely as a hobby (It used to be my trade until I retired). My other interests are archery and French boule; playing Petanque with friends and a nice bottle of vin rouge on the side.
