OMGosh I learned something new...

First and foremost all Thanks go out to Deb over at Postcards From the Edge She is my NEW BFFTTATNMWH(best friend forever through thick and thin NO matter what happens)

Whether she likes it OR not, she is stuck with me-I got your bud light w/ lime Back girlie, always and forever AMEN!

I merely asked her how she got her comments to be a certain way that she could email a response back VS being a comment whore on my own blog....what I discovered was "A whole New World"...sing it with me...

Okay SO highschool I know, BUT what she showed me will change your life ladies! I swear it! Just like your rabbit did!

Maybe you or some of you all already know this lil bit of info and if you do then I am sorry you had to witness that so 9th grade display of behavior above...If you don't know what I am talking about then follow me...

First click on Dashboard then you are going to scroll down that page and under the post "blogger babies" look for "blogger in draft" CLICK that, go ahead, it will change your life, I promise-Then Look in upper right hand corner for a blue tab "Make Blogger In Draft My Default Dashboard" click it...You will now have a whole new very RICH text editor for making posts....

Remember that code we learned for strike throughs? Well it's a thing of the past! Strike through now has it's very own button on the new dashboard. The one thing I don't see that I always sometimes rely on is spell-checker. On a sidenote Deb tells me in order to use this handy dandy feature for making new posts, always make a new post from your dashboard OR you will see the old one.

Once you have that all set up go into your settings then comments and look for "Comment Form placement" you will have a 3rd option you didn't have before "Embeded below post" click that(if you want). It's a nice feature.

Okay I so hope I told you all the correct way(Once I did this change there was NO going back for me to give GOOD step BY step instructions-it just wasn't there) if I didn't maybe Deb will pop in and correct me where I strayed you in the wrong direction...

My Confession for today: Hip Hip HOORAY for Deb! Go Give her some Comment LOVES! Oh and PLEASE don't forget who taught ya how to do a siggy!

    Holy cow! You are full of tips! I had used blogger in draft a while back, but haven't checked it out lately. I've been praying for a strike through button. God has answered : )

    You can't steal her away from me and try and bait her with Budlight w/Lime!!!

    However, since we go wayyyyyyyyy back and you totally hooked me up with a handy dandy signature, I will totally share her :)

    Now I gotta go figure out this new fandangle feature. Thanks for letting us in on these cool features. Deb does not kiss and tell like you!

    Secondly, do you not love Deb?! She and I clicked from the beginning and I am so hoping I can help her in her quest to see her grandbaby.
    And third, You are so hilarious and I am soooo glad we've become friends.

    OK - Peeps. Deb here. My ears have been burning like they are on fire, so I knew there was a whole lotta talkin goin on.
    Georgie,
    I really didn't feel like I taught you anything all that interesting, but I am soooo glad that it made you so happy that you made an entire post about me! How freakin sweet is that??!!
    Jill,
    You are absolutely the kindest, sweetest person to be putting out feelers for help in my quest. But, I think your gonna scare poor Georgie (lol). I did however find super cheap airfare from here (SC) to there (OK)so... if the b*tch would just say yes to the visit...
    And if you, Georgie, or anyone else needs help with anything (if I can be of assistance) y'all just let me know. Georgie...you've got my number.

    You're quickly becoming quite the pro! Just be aware that it's called "Blogger in Draft" for a reason -- it's essentially still in beta. There will be bugs and hiccups from time to time. I haven't switched to it because I don't feel like wrangling with it until they've released it system-wide but it's good to know what features they're developing.
