Odds And Ends

Technical Difficulties

I've been having some technical difficulties over the past few days.  I'm having trouble accessing some of your blogs.  I'm also having a problem leaving comments on some of the blogs that I can access.  For some reason, the comment area will not recognize that I'm signed in.  It happens sporadically, so sometimes I can leave a comment, sometimes I can't.  I don't know if it's blogger or my computer that's causing the problem, but I am trying to get it worked out.  In the meantime, I haven't forgotten you!


Projects

I've been busy with a few projects so I haven't posted a new blog in almost a week (I have still been reading your blogs, though).  I should be back on track within the next few days.


Giveaway

I am planning a giveaway very soon and I'm pretty excited about it!  I don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet, but I want to tell you that the prize will not be strictly for women.  I know the guys often get left out of giveaways, but not this time!  Okay, that's all I'm going to say, for now.

I find that the weather can affect my computer! If it is stormy, windy or snowy I have limited use of the internet.

I've yet to win a giveaway, and I've entered lots of them. I'll enter yours probably but won't expect to win. Still, it'll be fun to see what creative Willoughby has in store for us.

I have the same problem occasionally but it's usually only on one site (mytastytreasures). I'm excited to see what your giveaway is :)

I am still having the same issues with not being able to leave comments on certain blogs. I did two posts about it titled HELP and HELP 2, where I explained the issues asking readers for a solution. It seems that other people can leave comments on certain blogs but I can't. No one really had an answer, but one person did point out that all of the blogs that I listed in my posts on which I am not recognized as being signed in, all have their comments settings at "embedded below post". I then set out to email those people explaining the issue and asking them to change their comments settings to "pop up window". That did the trick. Once they made the settings change, I was then recognized as being signed in and could leave comments, without it affecting the other readers. Why this is happening is beyond me, and no one seems to know why, or even why everyone else is able to leave comments but I can't. If you can reach out to those blog authors where you cannot leave a comment, and ask them to make a comments settings change to "pop up window", that should solve your problem.

Hope this helps......Matty

There is one blog I visit that takes me to another site altogether, so I don't visit any longer.

I can't wait to see what you will be giving away. Excitement!

Sometimes I have comment issues too. Blogger can be a pain. I would like to move to wordpress but I'm not smart enough.

It's Wednesday, Welcome Back To The Cocktail Party!

By
Welcome to Willoughby's Blog Style Cocktail Party. I hope you will find some new blogs to follow and expand your circle of blog friends. I know you're all anxious to mingle, so I'll get right to it. I'd like to introduce Deidra from Jumping Tandem .  I know you'll enjoy her blog as much as I do. Keeping It Real.... Deidra I'm an East Coast girl living in the midwest because I love my husband (I call him "H" around here) and his work brought us here. We have been blessed with two amazing children (currently in college) and an empty nest that I absolutely love! Don't get me wrong, I love my kids but they're destined to change the world and they can't do that living under my roof (although they're welcome back anytime for love, prayers, support, encouragement, and of course homecooked meals and clean laundry). Did I mention that H is a pastor? So that makes me the pastor's wife - but don't let that blur your vision. H is...

Bugging Out

By
Spring is such a wonderful time of year.  The birds have returned and greet each morning with their lovely songs.  The tree branches are covered with green buds ready to burst into life.  The grass has shed it's yellow/brown pallor in favor of a lovely emerald.  The air is warm and breezy.  It's all so lovely except for one thing.  The bugs. Because of our nearly uninhabitable climate during the winter months, we don't see many bugs from late October through early April.  I almost forget how much I hate them until they come back.  And they know I hate them so they taunt me.  Ever since the thermometer hit the 60 degree mark, we've had flies congregating around the back porch.  I can't sit out there and enjoy my morning coffee without having them buzz past me. Now, flies I hate, but spiders I absolutely loathe.  Friday morning I walked into the bathroom to dry my hair and spotted what I thought was a bumble ...

It's Time For A Giveaway!

By
I am excited to announce that Novica has, once again given me a $50 gift card to award to one lucky winner.  If you're not familiar with Novica , they work in association with National Geographic to bring the work of talented artists and artisans around the globe to the rest of the world via the internet. Shopping their website is a unique experience as you can view information about each artist along with the works they create.  It gives each item a very personal feeling.  In the Keepers Of The Arts section, you can watch videos of the artists at work. I love Novica so much that I could go on and on telling you how wonderful their website is, what great customer service they have and, especially, how talented the artisans are, but it would be much more fun for you to see for yourself.  Before you head over there, though, let me give you a sneak peak of some of the wonderful things you'll discover (and maybe help you find some unique Christmas gifts).
