		<description>I&#039;m enjoying your blogs! I was surfing around the other day to see what was new in your writing and found all of this. Congratulations on entering the blogging world.
I have my general rant blog (http://pwsblog.blogspot.com) and my &quot;technical&quot; blog (http://www.myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/pwstrain). Sometimes I cross - post, depending upon the subject.
There are some new tools that may help you with updating your website, particularly the new NVU (http://nvudev.com/index.php).
I have a couple of short stories in circulation, and the long-ruminated novel that appears to be about one thing but is really about growing up in Tilton is starting to take shape... in my head. No paper yet, but I&#039;m close.</description>

		<description>You may think no one&#039;s reading your journal, but you&#039;d be wrong.  I&#039;m so glad you weren&#039;t in a accident.  Here in Washington State they just passed a law that cell phones must be hands free while driving.  I don&#039;t think it will do much good as it&#039;s the actual conversation that distracts the driver!

I&#039;m a little embarassed to ask, but might I get a short little endorsement blurb from you for &quot;The Filly&quot;?  I would like to have it for my website and some promotional materials I&#039;m putting together.</description>

		<title>Comment on Bliggoty, bloggety by alexbeecroft</title>

		<description>Do you see this &#039;leave a reply&#039; box just below?  If so, then that&#039;s the one you use to reply to someone&#039;s comment.  Mind you, it won&#039;t alert them that there has been a reply, so unfortunately unless they&#039;re checking back frequently, they won&#039;t know that it&#039;s there!

Although I can&#039;t reply by email, however, I can receive them, so this sort of works!

I&#039;ve changed you from &#039;contributor&#039; to &#039;author&#039; on the blog. (I don&#039;t know what that means, exactly, but I&#039;m hoping it will make a difference if you try again.)</description>

		<description>Hello!  I&#039;m answering your email here because my email programme has suddenly gone caput!  And on a day when I&#039;m supposed to be doing an author chat on one of my groups.  Isn&#039;t it always the way?

If you sign in to your Wordpress blog and go to where it says &#039;dashboard&#039; at the top left, you should see a drop down menu with the dashboard for the Macaronis on it as well as your own.  That should enable you to be able to post on the shared blog in the same way you can on your own.

Erastes is setting up a yahoo group so that we can all talk to each other and figure out who&#039;s posting, about what, when :)  Mean time let me go and make sure your blog is in the links and you&#039;re all set up to post :)</description>
