We would love to read your thoughts and comments about this post, and thank you for your time!

A Bit of Blog Housekeeping Again…

Remember that Little Golden Book? We Help Mommy was one of my/our favorites, as it was for most of the little girls of the 1950s.

My time for cleaning house and writing more blog posts, researching, or even just wasting my time has been lost to blog spammers, especially recently. My email inbox is clogged with spam day after day, and every time I check it there are at least a few more- one time, 30!!! Yes, it is not big, heavy, hard work to click a bunch of keys to mark a comment as spam, but they have worn me down for now. So comments will be closed, not just moderated, for a while anyway. I do encourage you to please use the “Contact Us” form if you like blog posts, have questions, can add something to a post or correct it, or are related and we don’t know it.

Thanks for your understanding.

Housekeeping- er, Blogkeeping, Again

"We Help Mommy" c 1956

So sorry that some folks have been deleted previously from emails of posts, and hoping that none are now. I have tried again to delete Feedblitz as the subscription carrier, as it has not worked well, yet kept on working after I supposedly deleted it before. Once again, the subscription box should send your feed through WordPress now if I did everything right. If not… back to the computer and begging for IT help.

Hopefully WordPress has figured out finally how to add the Lee-Alexander-Aiken pages to the drop-down menu for Family Trees. It is set up the same as before, but never, even with official IT help, could we get it to work correctly. It appears to be fixed so it will be easier now to find those Lee, Alexander, and Aiken ancestors.

I do better genealogical research than IT work, thankfully.

Housekeeping- Feed Changes

Due to WordPress emails not showing the posts well on all computers, I have changed so that feeds so only receive a summary of a post is emailed. The email will contain a clickable link to take you to the remaining/actual post. This system will also help when posts are updated- you will always have the most current info by clicking on the blog post. Hope this doesn’t inconvenience anyone, but it will be the better choice now for the blog.

A Little Housekeeping for Feedblitz Users

If you get our blog via a Feedblitz subscription, please go back in and re-subscribe using WordPress, the default. I have had some problems with formatting from Feedblitz and getting the subscriptions right with the company, so just prefer to revert to WordPress. Sorry for any inconvenience, and I do hope that you will keep reading!
