People have remarked to me several times in person over the past few weeks that they "love" my blog. And I thank them for their kind words, and remark that I am puzzled about the lack of comments left on the site. Honestly, it makes a gal wonder if it is worth going to all the trouble.
Whereupon they astound me by replying that they don't know "how" to leave a comment on a blog.
Well, let me tell you, I have made it as easy as it is possible for an internet comment to be left, because I hate those ridiculous mystery verification words some people have to protect their blogs from spam. It always takes me three or four times to get the word right, and more than once I have given up totally in utter frustration.
So here's the lengthy involved process:
1. click on "comments" (at the bottom of every post)
2. type in "oh my word, girl, you're a stamping genius" and your name/email (which no one will see but me)
3. Click "post."
4. Eat some chocolate.
Actually there's a step 2.5 and that is "check for typos." But that's just for me. Step four is for everyone, though. And you're allowed to eat two pieces if it's THAT time of the month, doncha know.
lol - fuuuunny!

Oh my word, girl, you ARE a Stamping Genius!
Love your blog, have you on Google reader so I catch every new post...but Google reader does NOT provide the comment link so your fans may never see that button.
Thanks for reminding us that it's a two-way conversation. And yes, step 2.5 is on my list too.

And a terrific blogger. Thanks for the smile...now if I only had that chocolate!! Hmmm...licking cocoa powder just doesn't do it so I guess I'll have to make some brownies to tide me over!
Have a blessed Sunday Lyssa!

I am old. Trying to read the faint pink (or whatever valley-girl color it is) is impossible. I looked at your instruction and took more than a minute to FINE "comment".
But now that I KNOW what to look for (even if I can't quite see it), you will get comments!
And yes, I was one who said the new design looked so kewl

Oh my word, Girl, you ARE a stampin' GENIUS! But of course! You GOT it from your MOTHER!!!! :)
By the by, ignore that old man up above. At least that's what I usually do!!!! :)
THANKS for Instruction #4. I've been on a diet for 5 days now, and HAVING to eat some chocolate is a welcome break! You GO, Girl!

I just came across your blog and I love it! I am a fellow SU demonstrator although I must admit that I've never actually demonstrated anything! But after attending convention last week for a girls weekend away, I think I might try my hand at it! Anyway, I appreciate all the time you put into your blog and I just wanted to take a moment to say so :)
