It is great it will help you follow your blogs like a personal newspaper. It has really helped me in following blogs. I'm honored to be your blogging friend...isn't it fun? You new stitching is lovely and thanks for the pictures. It is soooo cold here. Six degrees. Last night we had a program in 4-H for 9-12 year olds and I made fabric postcards with a group of them. It was fun:) Take care and talk soon.

Interesting comments about commenting a...Hi Jules! Interesting comments about commenting and so on. I agree that feedback from others is a key thing in the blogging world. I often tell myself it's a pictorial diary for myself, but I know that's only half the story!=) I comment on some regularly, some occasionally and some not really at all, but I do like to leave a 'hello' on a new discovery - even if just to attract them back to my blog, and I almost always check out any blogs my followers have.<br /><br />As to blogging layaout, I think what you have right now is quite nice. Nice and simple. Some of the background wallpapers with this layout are just so busy that they clash and conflict with the content - which is often also very busy. I think a good balance is needed between layout and content. If the content is simple, the layout/wallpaper etc can be more busy, but it's best to keep the layout plain and simple if you have a lot of eye candy on your blog and/or sidebar. <br /><br />Size of photos etc in sidebars is another issue. If they're too small, they may as well not be there, but if they're too big, then they, again, begin to intrude on the main content and the overall impression is confusing. The good thing about Blogger these days is that you can play around quite a lot with your blog. Before, you lost all your settings when you changed layout. Thank goodness for their newer, gadget based layouts!=)Elizabeth Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067860880479674275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4161282820056873342.post-49254799945584805572010-01-30T20:49:03.957+00:002010-01-30T20:49:03.957+00:00I have een on the carpet too.

We won't be seeing anything like that for a while around here, but knowing you have gives me hope that spring will come eventually! You are right about OWOH - no way I can comment on them all! I follow so many blogs, probably too many and don't get to comment every day on all of them, either. I am trying to be more discerning and not keep adding more to follow, but there is so much interesting stuff out there!Melissa ;-)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14733647867832856001noreply@blogger.com
