Its Only Werds...

There are some things I want to do with this blog that I don't see help for in FAQs or User Info. The things I want to do involve "messing with" the html. I really like one of the other blog templates, but I want to put a picture of my own into it. I think that's not do-able any more, since customizing is no longer available. Then there's the question I sent via e-mail about tweaking the word "More" on cuts (when you use a hyperlink to hide long texts from the post). Perhaps my e-mail to you bounced or I used the wrong one. There is a list of html codes I use on the blog I seek to move from (to here), but I know for certain at least one of them is ineffective "here".

 What is the best way to get assistance here?

 Thank you for this platform and opening the door for the fellowship of His kids -- us'ns!

And now, it's officially. . . (More)

Ok, sports fans...er...I mean fellow-believer-blogger-peeps...This info is probably in the FAQs and I hope I am not messing up by sharing it, but it helped me tremendously.

 When someone comments on my blog, it is near impossible for me to intereact by returning the read / comment. I am used to another blog site where your id is a hyperlink to your blog. On that blog site, any time you comment on someone's blog post, that someone can click on your name and be directed to your blog site. They can then read your "stuff" and reciprocate the interaction, if desired.

I knew there had to be a way to do that here and I stumbled across it. I know, I know, and I said so -- it's probably in the FAQs, but I haven't made time to go there and study how to use this blog yet! I vascillate between lazy and over-committed! Any way, Here are some hints on how to make sure someone can find you and begin a friendship, commenting back and forth on one another's posts if you want to.

Open your blog as if you are a reading visitor. Highlight the address in your browser bar and right click, select "copy". (My blogsite address is http://loreelle044.christianblogsites.com/blog/) (yours should be very similar except for the part before christianblogsites.com...) Then, when you comment on somoene else's blog, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE, paste that copied address of yours (right click, select "paste" ) into the last box labeled "Web" (under your comment typing box) and it makes your name a hyper-link to your blog.

Ok, clear as mud? LOL Go check out FAQs, it's prolly there alsotoo!

I am SO GLAD to be here!

 Hugs, back to my nap...Loree

...i simply MUST take some time while on spring break from school to learn some things about posting here. I have blogged before and used to use a "cut" so that a lengthy post was only partially visible and the rest was hidden under the cut. The cut was a hyperlink to the full text. So...if anybody reads me, I will fix the lengthy posts with cuts as soon as I learn how...hopefully that will be soon -- this week...

 hugs, L

I've been thinking about the word "fool" lately. Had a good write for it in mind, but was so bogged down with the quarter of class work, but here goes. This will accomplish two things in one fell swoop. (re: the notice that if i do not post this week, i may be deleted?!?!?! mmmmk...)

Nobody likes to feel like they've been made a fool. "You made a FOOL out of me!" I've heard that and said it as well. But I was thinking about that. You see, nobody has control over you like that.

Point: the bible says call no man fool, right (raca, thou fool!)

Point: Paul said he was a "fool for Christ", didn't he?

Study Plan: find the word in Strongs, find exact translation(s), figure this out. 

ok, hugs to you all in Christian-blog land.

LOL

my weirdness has finally caught up with me -- "here" -- and i apologize to the webmaster! seriously! i got this e-mail in my "in" box:

 

Loree:

I am the webmaster for (this site address). You listed blog psot above will need to have the post title edited. It is too many words with no spaces and is messing up the Blog summary page of our site You can only have around 20 characters in a row. So, you need to add some spaces or underscores in the post name. Please correct ASAP.

k, richard...done! and i really am sorry. i never knew. haven't had time to study the fine print and i am a random rambling sort of weird person, but you know? i am precious to HIM!!

amen -- goodnight!

when words fail
a musician makes music
a dancer dances
a singer sings
a dreamer dreams

when words are futile
when the heart aches
when the madness grows deafening

a gentle squeeze of the hand
a compassionate gaze, a penetrating look
a warm embrace, held in stillness by one who knows
words fail

and yet i am of words
and when words fail...
i wait in silence

when there are no words
HE knows, HE hears...and there is ONE Who intercedes
with words that are not spoken

Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.      

New members seem to struggle with "Comments" enabling. Please, put something OBVIOIUS out there to help these people get comments opened up! Many times I attempt to welcome someone and their comments are disabled.
