Our New Life in the Country: Frustration

Frustration

Blogger is being so frustrating at the moment. I can't leave a comment on anyones Blog if they use 'embedded below post' comments. Lots of others folk have commented on this and are also having trouble.

Today and yesterday my Blogging Buddy SFT had wonderful Blog posts and I tried and tried to leave a comment but frustratingly couldn't managed it. The little birds in the picture are a tribute to SFT who's post was about lovely birds, mine are frustratingly fighting over the same piece of bread.

So please all of you out there who usually find comments from me in your comment box, I have not given up on you, I am reading just as regularly, I am just not able to comment anymore.

I don't know what system Blogger has changed but folk had this same problem on my Blog until I changed to a 'pop up comments box', I chose full page,. but you can just pick the little box as well and things work perfectly again. I have also changed to moderated comments for a while as I was being inundated with adverts for Viagra, and I'm sure if you need Viagra you can source it yourselves, you don't need to visit my comment box to find a ready supply!!

I like the pop-up box better, even when it goes full page, as it doesn't have to re-load (and sometimes lose!) the post you want to comment on.

Hi Sue
Thank you for the info - really useful! I love the photo of the two birds. Reminds of my children when they were smaller.

I tried to leave a comment yesterday and blogger wouldn't have it. It really is frustrating.

Thanks for posting this, I've changed my settings as well.

I am having lots of probs with mine, not always seeing updates in reader - have been trying the new blogger interface but it's not working too well for me.

The only fix seems to be changing to Google Chrome as your browser. It cures all and is faster too.

Like many others I have changed my browser from Explorer to Google Chrome and getting better results that way.

but I share your frustrations!!

btw, an elderly lady from our church was telling me how much she loves Escape to The Country, and "weren't those pigs wonderful the other week?" Really hard to explain to her how I consider you a friend, even tho we only know each other thru the internet!!!

I am having similar problems, but as I am not blogging as much I am hoping the issue will sort itself out. I will keep alert to see if there is a solution though, as I don't like my readers thinking that I am not reading or leaving comments on their blog either.

Not a fan of blogger at all... It always seems to be one thing or another with them!

Excellent information however I’d like to let you know that I think there is problem with your RSS feeds as they seem to not be working for me. May be just me but I thought overall I would cite it.

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

Sue xx
