I'm calling this the soft launch. I built it myself which means none of the links work and there are five million grammatical errors. There is no web person so go easy on me.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. This is a bit of a departure from this site. It's supposed to be something I can just click on and rant on and then leave but of course not......
Anyway, I've been up for forty days and forty nights.....let me know whatcha think
KD, I am really enjoying your blog. I noticed the pics with the new blogs are not pink. I know some here do not like the pink but I loved them(I like the blue too). Hopefully the pink will occasionally make an appearance-the pictures are a great complement to your blogs!

Right now you have the comments set to be moderated, which means you have to approve every single comment. I haven't found the need to do this on my blog -- you can always delete comments if there are offensive or annoying ones. My guess is you don't have the time to monitor every single comment that comes in.

a) sign up b) REFER other people to his site by giving him email addresses of your friends and relatives c) you couldn't reference any other web sites or leave web site addresses in your comment d) your comment had to be 25 words or less
It was a TOTAL and complete PITA to leave a comment.
He has since changed it...
BTW... I am NOT recommending his website. I actually find him to be an anti-role-model. He occasionally writes some good stuff... but mostly he struggles and is resentful about... most things in life.
He made it easier to leave comments... And I very occasional leave a comment but "Dude, Have you EVER considered that your boss and coworkers may stumble across this??????" or "OK... I really think you have an eating disorder" probably are NOT the comments he wants posted on his blog. Most people leave him very positive comments about what a good role model he is... or maybe he deletes the not flattering ones.
Sometimes people leave nasty comments on my You Tube posts... and I just delete them. It is no big deal.
I'd vote for "Don't make the people sign up", but you can always change it if for some reason you NEED or want to make people sign up.
Re the comments - thank you all so much. I haven't the FAINTEST idea what I'm doing. It's as though someone hired me to write, "Building a Blog for Idiots" based on my experience.
I have pages and posts and don't know the difference yet. But I'm figuring out I need to turn some of the pages into posts so watch out I'm going to do that today which will probably make this site go beee-zerk because the two sites are linked.
Anywho--I chose an option where you have to sign up to comment but that's a pain, no? Should I turn it off?
I love the blog site, KD, however, being the computer no brain that I am I can't seem to be able to get into the places to leave comments. Can someone help me out?
I love it, and I LOVE PINK! So keep it up girl.

Rest of Summer Goals: 1. Exercise-Cardio: Min. 2-3 walking or DVD cardio workouts per week. 2. Exercise-Weights/Toning: Min. 1 weight plus 1 toning workout per week. 3. Food: Get those veggie servings back up to where they were! 4. Behavior: Start reducing sweets now that the automatic after-meal response is better.
