Are you a No Reply Blogger?

It gets really frustrating when a comment is made on a blog post and I go to reply to the kind commenter and it comes up noreply-comment@blogger.com. By default, your email address is not shown in your profile and with Blogger profiles now being attached to Google+ profiles you have to tell it do un-attach. In the past, you might have been a reply blogger but if you have connected your blog to Google+ it has changed. Do you know how to find out if you are a "no reply blogger"?

Here is the best, and I mean the best, instructions for setting your no-reply back to reply.

I highly recommend you at least check to see if you are a no-reply blogger. Because if you are, there is no way for me to reply to your kind comments.

Redecorating

If you read my blog in a reader you won't see that I've redecorated. You'll have to come visit.

Bye Bye Google Reader

As most Bloggers know, Google Reader is being killed off and won't be around after July 1. Sniff. I LIKED Google Reader for it's clean utilitarian interface and in the search for a new RSS feeder, I tried several different ones and ended up using

Unlike Google Reader, Feedly is slick and modern. After using it for a while I have come to love it.♥♥♥ I love the magazine layout of the feeds and the ease of importing my subscriptions -- oo la la! Since I haven't really converted to Google+ I was unsure if the blogs I follow would still be there after July 1, so I made sure to still have a subscription as a non-follower to those blogs.

If you haven't made a decision on what reader to use, I highly recommend Feedly.

I am not a BOT

and my eyes are too old to read those word verification things especially when the letters are kerned together. I get so frustrated when I type in what I see and get rejected over and over. I think I'm not alone. So I have turned off word verification. I sure wish Blogger would give us numbers instead of being alphanumeric. If I get a lot of spam, I will have to moderate messages.

Geeky Girl

Did you notice? There is a subtle change to The Quilter's blog. I'm using the new "Blogger In Draft Template Designer" and I absolutely love, love, love it! Makes designing templates a lot easier. Too geeky for you?

Blogger Pages

You've probably heard the buzz about blogger pages. Well I decided to use it. See the tabs up there under my header? 'Home' and 'Freebies' is all I have right now, but I thought I'd put one up for the various tutorials that I have done too.
