French Vintage Paper and Lace and the Internet Connection

French vintage paper and lace

Hello Everyone,

As you will see in the comment section on each post of my blog there is a new look (Thanks to TYPEPAD).

With this updated version you can still leave a comment simply, and/or,
I or anyone can reply to it directly by pressing the REPLY button
underneath the comment.

The comment section can become an open forum, a chat room, a way for us to respond directly online via my blog.

Nevertheless, It remains a place where you can simply leave a comment, like before.

You can add links, and photos too.

TYPEPAD is working on making the comments activated on GOOGLE (as it has been) but for now they are not.

If you have a blog or a website please make sure it is connected to your "comment name" so that I or anyone can connect to it

I look forward to seeing how this will play out. If it isn't what I
imagine I can change it back to the original way that it was. What do
you think about it?

I hope you enjoy each other's company as much as I do enjoy yours.

    I have been trying out this new way to connect/comment in my blog for a week now. I like the way we can keep a discussion going. I can reply directly to my commenters, and they can chat with each other.
    Good luck to you with this.

    TypePad is pretty awesome. I’ve never had any experience with it until running across your blog.
    Happy Birthday =) and congratulations to all the winners of your contests!

    A very interesting concept with the potential to steal away more of my time on those occasions when I tend to spend too much time here (on the Internet) already 🙂 Ah, the lure of links and comments…

    This sounds like it could be a neat tool for bloggers, especially on important topics that touch everyone(or just for laughs). I will be interested to see how people respond to it as well. Congrats to the winners below.

    Dear dear Cousin
    Where did the green booger jacket go?
    I am glad you kept it on in Iceland.
    And by the way when did you dye your hair?

    I like it! To be able to respond to a specific comment even if there have been more comments left since. It sounds like a recipie for fun…
    Well done all the winners and Happy Birthday to your blog. Keep up the beautiful photos Corey. They brighten up my early morning cups of tea!

    Hi, Corey, I’m still learning to navigate my way around the internet. Just when I learn something, it changes, so then I’m stretched to learn something else. Guess I’ll see what happens! 😉

    Wow, this is so neat Corey! I am still over at Blogger and they seem so archaic! The thought of switching over scares the heck out of me though…
    Just wanted to invite you over to my friend Janet’s and my new website. It’s called moggit.com and we like to call it “the guilty pleasure of the decorating world”. Have a peek when you get a chance! 🙂

    It’s better because it would never keep my details prevously and I had to fill them in each time I commented.
    Trouble is now – I can’t see any one else’s comments

    This looks so good, and the avatars or doohickeys (lovely word)go so well with the general look of your pages. Did you choose them, I wonder, and will I have a chance to choose my own (I think probably not), or will my own picture from my blog come up? Now I shall post this and we will see.

    Reply
  52. Judith

    I suppose I may reply to myself! Well,my name does link to my blog, so that is fine. And I didn’t choose my doohickey. Will I get the same one every time, I wonder? It seems that several people share the same one. But how do I get to use my own picture like MB Farrell?
    And another question about feeds and readers, which I am only just beginning to use. I have your blog in my Blogger reading list, but if this part pf of it is becoming a real forum, we shall want to add it to our reading lists as well, or subscribe to a feed. You can tell I am excited by this!!
