I think th...Well done on completing the challenge.<br /><br />I think that short and sweet posts are the key. I know a couple of mine last year were a wee bit wordy but this year I tried to keep the actual text limited to a paragraph per video (I was blogging favourite songs so most of the posts were YouTube videos). If I came across a post that was too long I often skipped over it.<br /><br />I'm not always good about leaving a link to my blog, mainly because I'm mostly using my Kindle instead of my laptop and it's awkward having to write out the address each time. It's something I must get better about doing because it certainly makes people easier to find!<br /><br />Cait <a href="http://clicks-clan.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">@ Click's Clan</a>Clickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478761820331036869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081168910656840129.post-47829731118331177842014-05-06T16:24:48.259+01:002014-05-06T16:24:48.259+01:00Hi Ros .. if you're posting about the UK west ...Hi Ros .. if you're posting about the UK west country ..

I have visited your blog and am now a 'new follower' - it looks great. As to the hyperlinked signature (as I mentioned, where there is a direct link) you would just do <br /><br />EITHER You can visit my blog <a href="http://createdbybb.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">BB Creations</a> (where the BB Creations is a different colour) <br /><br />OR You can visit my blog BB Creations <a href="http://createdbybb.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">here</a> (where the word 'here' is a different colour)<br /><br />I have been trying to write down the html so you can copy it, but Blogger keeps turning even total rubbish into beautiful links! So go back to my post and just put createdbybb.blogspot.co.uk where I have got genwestuk.blogspot.co.uk<br /><br />The different colour would come up because your blog settings have made it so.<br />Let me know if this makes any sense.Ros Haywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627277156997592066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081168910656840129.post-15564194803902088642014-05-05T19:40:49.410+01:002014-05-05T19:40:49.410+01:00oh and mine is www.createdbybb.blogspot.caoh and mine is www.createdbybb.blogspot.caBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081168910656840129.post-42589304813882379642014-05-05T19:40:18.629+01:002014-05-05T19:40:18.629+01:00i loved your blog and now wonder if you could visi...i loved your blog and now wonder if you could visit mine and I am computer challenged so have unsure how to place it in the post.

There is a post every year explaining the link signature. I keep a copy of mine in a notepad document. Copy and paste to the end of my comments.

I set out to write shorter posts this year,,by being a bit more selective with my material, but that did not always come about. I began very well with about 10 posts written before April 1st, but then I had a bad week and by the time it got to S I was only writing the day before I was due to post it. So Sundays were very much catch up days. I admit I did not read many other contributions apart from those blogs already on my reading lists, so i missed out here on the full A-Z experience. I can set up hyperlinks in a post, but still need to fathom out how to do it in a comment box - cut & paste perhaps - but at least I will give the address.

In fairness the commenting is why I prefer wordpress - it makes it easy and you can also be notified when someone replies which kinda helps in a budding dialogue :) <br />I haven't got to your blog during the challenge but I'm just checking out some of your posts now. Beware. Haha. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
