You did a great job for me and I just want to say thank you. Your feedback on my blog site issues may prove to be just the right kind of critical information I need.

Like Newton figuring out gravity, I’m gonna work out the right formula. Well…almost like him.

I don’t think I’ve ever used my blog platform to just communicate. It’s always about the story. But there’s no story today. Only information.

So, bear with me. I’ll keep it short.

The two issues have been this. One, a seamless and simple way to  post a comment. Two, a likewise easy way to share a post if you so choose.

As I’ve watched the stats on my site, both of these functions have fallen off the cliff into oblivion in recent months. Which means either the stories are not engaging or the site has a glitch.

Dang, I hope it’s a glitch.

I don’t yet have a permanent fix to make these two functions easy for you. Partly because I’m extremely tech challenged. Partly because tech support with my host site is somewhat akin to having a root canal and a colonoscopy done at the same time.

If you know, you know.

Here’s what I can suggest for you at this point. Just a few things for you to try on your end.

If you are a subscriber and you get the stories in your email, rather than looking for the “Comment” button, you can just click the REPLY arrow in your email, write your comment, and send it. That by-passes any browser nonsense.

If you’re only reading the stories when they post on FB, you can certainly just comment directly on FB. But if you want to see or add to the comments on the site, you’ll need to click on the Comment button – – – Lawd, if you can find it.

Still working on that one.

As far as “sharing” goes, there’s a couple of things. You can forward the email like any other email if you receive GB in that format.

A FB share, for now, seems a little more complicated. The normal share “arrow” on FB works just fine. It’s the FB share button at the end of each story that I can’t exactly figure out. If you’re in FB, that little blue button at the end of the story works like a dream. If you’re in the email version, that little blue button can flip you sideways and spit you out like a cheap dog toy.

I need to quit before I get too deep for my brain.

What I want to say is this. Keep trying. I’ll be making some changes. Trying different settings. You might try to comment or share and be asked to enter your name and email, but hopefully that’ll be all.

So, thanks for your patience. Keep letting me know what works and doesn’t work. I can’t see what you’re seeing.

I’ll do my best to get this as right as I can. You can always email me at georgiabred1956@gmail.com if all else fails.

Signed,
