It used to work better when I first started blogging, but things have really deteriorated in the past few months. That's a shame because comments are such an important aspect of blogging that anything that impedes the process should be removed, not entrenched.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-10020916679716520362012-05-20T21:00:27.071+01:002012-05-20T21:00:27.071+01:00I am extremely untidy as a person, but I like my w...I am extremely untidy as a person, but I like my writing to be neatly categorised, entonces (whatever that translates to in english, probably therefore) I have blogs for different topics. <br /><br />Professional writer? Well, yes, I have the bits of paper and the track record. I'm not making money from it right now as everyone thinks they can write :( But I will be honest, I can write a thousand words at the drop of a hat. Whether or not they are interesting is up to the reader....<br /><br />WP has a good feature when you publish where it tells you that you have published 49584957 posts or whatever. The stats are neater than blogger ones were.<br /><br />I love when people come back with more comments, and not just on their own comments, but on other people's too. That truly is the icing, or the jewel or whatever.<br /><br />Just wish blogger and wp would be a bit more compatible.roughseasinthemedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362795583263821176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-90059886630383344422012-05-20T18:52:16.758+01:002012-05-20T18:52:16.758+01:00I grew up being told and believing this, Baby Sis,...I grew up being told and believing this, Baby Sis, but when DD enquired about it and I asked our genealogist sister, PolkaDot for confirmation, she hadn't been able to find a documentary link so far, despite having gone back several generations. Perhaps the story is apocryphal and due just to the similarity of the names, but it's a nice thought nonetheless.<br /><br />A quick look at your blog tells me you're four-fifths of the way to your own century, so the score is achievable. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-18146062855912585992012-05-20T18:16:51.483+01:002012-05-20T18:16:51.483+01:00We have a world class batsman of our own, Perpetua...We have a world class batsman of our own, Perpetua, in the wider family, don't we? Hasn't it been mentioned that our maternal grandfather Tom Herbert Sutcliffe is connected to THE Herbert Sutcliffe, renowned opening batsman for both Yorkshire and England? How true this is, and how close the cousinship was, I don't know. I acquired a biography of HS recently hoping to track down the common ancestor, but haven't thrown myself into the reserch yet. That's more of a winter hobby, genealogy, as is writing my blog (although reading the work of favourite bloggers is a year-round habit). In the summer I like to get out and about more.

The internet, email etc are all so wonderful that we take them for granted - until they don't work!!!!!!! Several years ago, we lost all connection to the outside world for a week when living in North Oxfordshire, because of a fallen tree that brought down our phone line. Our whole world changed - we couldn't communicate with anyone, except by mobile phone.<br /><br />Congratulations on 100 posts. I'm at 176 but that is in over three years.
