Day 151 - November 12 - Hmmmm.

Well, I guess it's true that there is no way of speaking such that you cannot be misunderstood. It seems that I way overdid things my effort to address an itty-bitty detail.

I would imagine that even my effort here to clarify what I said will be misunderstood, if so, it was not and is not my intent to give offense.

To wit, I personally am grateful for all who choose to comment, and am actually working on some up-coming changes to the website that will make it easier for us to connect with each other, should you so choose, and reinforce the community that has evolved around ConnorWatch.

So, perhaps another way to say what I was trying to say...

If you want to be anonymous, please, don't do anything different. If you need to be anonymous, for whatever reason, shy, reserved, technologically declined, alternative belief system, personal preference, then by all means, be anonymous. That is OK. I'd rather have you here anonymously than not at all.

But for all of you that are putting your name in the comment field anyway, i.e., not remaining anonymous, e.g. Jeff, (OBTW Jeff, well done, and well appreciated, all the way around) INSTEAD, click the button at the end that says NAME/URL. Put your name in the NAME blank, IGNORE the URL blank, and publish.

Then your comment will start out with "YOUR NAME says..." followed by your comment.

Actually it will have your name there instead of YOUR NAME, if you get the picture. So when we start reading, we will know who is talking instead of waiting for the very end to figure it out. It is a big help when we don't have visual clues like looking at your face.

Or you could open a free Blogger account, upload your photo, and then your smiling visage will accompany every comment you make, like the one I made here on November 7th. If you need help doing that, let me know, and I'll post instructions.

In summary.

Anonymous - fine.

Not anonymous - use the NAME/URL button, or your BLOGGER ID.

Well, I hope that helps.

Jeff, thanks for cheering me up!

Brad,

I jusr love your humor...you are truly a kick! And I like the seriousness mixed in with it.

Thanks for accepting both the named and the anononymous, since God does. Hey, I wonder if "anonymous" will be written in the Book of Life!

I really just wanted to say thanks again for all you do to make this blog work!!!

Laura

Added benefit of using a free Blogger ID - no cryptogram to solve to prove you aren't spam when you comment, and it remembers you each time!

Now that's kewl!

I think...

Does that mean what I think it means?

Brad--thanks for all the continued work you put into the blog. I know you probably didn't know you would still be doing this 150 days later but we are glad that you are! I won't scare you with my photo, guys, but am still supporting you in thought & prayer every day.
