Sigh--you all seem excited about the site--is there something I'm missing to get started?

I DO get frustrated from time to time but mostly waiting to see my favorite blogs load! I resize my photos (much smaller) before I post them so that helps a lot on my end. I have to allot myself a specific amount of time on the computer or I'd be waiting to look at blogs all day!!Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-15333009726970015522008-09-03T22:03:00.000-05:002008-09-03T22:03:00.000-05:00Garden Girl,<BR/><BR/>Glad you like Pat's song! We were busy getting married and starting a family during her reign as queen of the airways, but I do remember singing along!<BR/><BR/>it is too funny that I decided to jump into Blotanical just when it developed problems! His last news update sounds like it's a pretty serious problem.<BR/><BR/>Frances was a great help with Blotanical. She still answers my questions! Aren't we lucky to have met such kind people blogging?<BR/><BR/>GailGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-38588093366500353122008-09-03T21:32:00.000-05:002008-09-03T21:32:00.000-05:00Hi Gail, all the techie stuff sure can get intimidating at times. I was glad Stuart posted the step-by-step on how to switch to feedburner. I'm sure I couldn't have figured it out by myself. Even with Stuart's simple instructions, it still took me a while to switch because of the intimidation factor. How great that Frances was able to walk you through it.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on receiving your red star! Hopefully Stuart in all his technical genius will get the mystery of the disappearing blogger blogs solved soon and Clay and Limestone will appear in the picks lists in all its glory with its newly-minted star. <BR/><BR/>p.s. I love Pat Benatar. Very clever use of that song!garden girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-20326404950658320752008-09-03T21:14:00.000-05:002008-09-03T21:14:00.000-05:00Bonne,<BR/><BR/>It does sound like a whole lot of techie stuff!

Should I check it out when things calm down here a bit work wise? Warning though: if I do I may have to lean a bit on you at first, lol.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the Chrysalis has been made at our place! Stop by to see how it's progressing ... looks like we're about to birth a Monarch later this week! <BR/><BR/>Do you think you may get some rain from the remnants of Gustav? I looked at national radar earlier today and it looked like it might spin some rain off your way ... hope you get some!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and you should have warned me that was Pat Benatar!

I know it took quite a while to get mine fixed back when everyone else was also clamoring to get theirs fixed. I try to get over to Blotanical as often as I can, which hasn't been much lately. Maybe if it would rain once in a while around here I'd have an excuse.

You post great photos! The wait time for downloads and uploads must be a bother at times!

Not many Blogger members have had their latest posts published. When it's running smoothly, it's jumping off place to get to your regular blogs. The catch is that they all have to be members.<BR/><BR/>The open sign is wonderful and you are so right! It is perfect for Casa Cedar Glade!

Like picks, I have no idea how one does that?! I think because I'm still on dial up and it takes so darn long for blogs, information, etc., to load I can't sit still long enough to learn. Congrats to you tho ~ you have a fabulous blog.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-68963245319882570582008-09-02T13:10:00.000-05:002008-09-02T13:10:00.000-05:00Gail, I don't use Blotanical enough I guess. It is lots of fun when I can spend some time there. There are so many varied and useful blogs in one place. Stuart has done a great thing pulling us all together.<BR/><BR/>Is anyone else having trouble moving around Blotanical today? I think something has gone awry... my latest post from yesterday still isn't appearing in the blog list.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, fortunately not TOO late I suppose... you are going to get your red star for sure with your great post.<BR/><BR/>The OPEN sign is terrific... I'm thinking it would make such a great statement in your guest bath... :-)<BR/><BR/>MeemsMeemshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.com
