Blog Tips, aka Cuckoo's Nest FAQs

I'm really trying to make this more of a useful blog and less of a headache blog. Good news... no more word verification! You weren't going crazy, there was definitely a problem with the word verification, so I was able to remove it as a setting (Sorry Cathy and Sharon!).

To comment/reply: Click on "Read Users' Comments," write your comment, then under "comment as" you can select your google profile name if you have already signed in on the blogger.com website OR if you are not signed in, you can choose Name/URL, enter your name and leave the URL blank.

To create a new post: You have to first log in on blogger.com with your google account information. Then you will be at the dashboard, from there click "New Post." You cannot create a new post from the cuckoo's nest blog; you must go through blogger.com. Make sure you sign your name at the end of your post because it doesn't look like it does it for you.

Good luck!

Several Things...

Alright, I'm posting!
First of all, I just looked for The Help by Kathryn Stockett within the library system... and I was placed 390th in line! Eeeeek! Anyone wanna go halvsies on a copy?

Also, as a few of you know, I've been reading through the Powell's staffers top 5s of 2009- each staffer chose a list of their 5 favorite books in 2009, and I'm reading all 155 of them.

If you are interested in watching me kill myself, the blog address is kirstendana.blogspot.com . Thanks for those of you that are reading- I'm doing this partially so I can get online writing jobs, and a blog is like a resume- so the more followers and commenters I have, the more likely I am to get jobs! Thanks!

Sorry if that was a horrible bit of self promoting- I never wanna be that guy.

I love all you ladies and I can't wait to gather next!

Changes to Cuckoo's Nest Blog

After book club tonight, I came home and was determined to solve the email mysteries we have been having with the blog. So, I added an area on the right margin of the blog where YOU can input your email address and get new posts emailed directly to you. You will have to go through a couple of quick steps with FeedBurner, but it will prompt you through them.

*EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN RECEIVING EMAIL MESSAGES WITH NEW POSTS, PLEASE INPUT YOUR EMAIL.*

I have changed the settings so that this is the only way you will be on our mailing list.

If you have questions about this or any other problems you've had, post a reply and I or one of the other girls will give you feedback.

Thanks! :)
