Would it be all right to participate on that schedule instead? This sounds like fun, but I've been blogging daily for over two years and my schedule is (through trial and error) what I've found works for me. So I'd still be blogging 6 of 7 days of the week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-84099299518567090602012-03-31T10:18:11.644+00:002012-03-31T10:18:11.644+00:00Thanks for the tips!

I have to spend my time right now focusing on my brain injured daughter. I just brought her home from 4 1/2 days in the psychiatric ward of our hospital here in Virginia. She tried for about five days each day to choke herself to death. She's back to her "self" now, but she's my first priority right now: taking her visiting people, doing arts and crafts with her, spending much more time with her than I have since I began blogging almost two years ago after my publisher told me I had to before they would sign a book contract with me. I'm still a young almost 72 years old, but still....I'm a single parent and had to fire the aide (whose recent behavior was part of the trigger that set off my daughter), so now I must spend some very thoughtful time and energy finding another aide. There's just too much right now in my life to be actively involved in blogging. I knew you would understand. So thank you, my friend, for taking my name off the linky list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-86671352667650652482012-03-30T20:31:52.401+00:002012-03-30T20:31:52.401+00:00I am ready and set.

When I switched over to the new blogger I just happened to notice blogger automatically turned on word verification for comments. After the switch you will all have to go into your settings to turn it off.

For example: If you are #7 on the list, then you would start the A to Z Challenge by visiting blog #8 and so forth.<br /><br />While the widget was fun and helpful to use, the setup this year for everyone to start at the next blog under them helps to make sure that posts from all participants are read...between blog #1 all the way up to blog #1400+...which I think is a great idea because it helps to add a little more balance between the visits.<br /><br />...just my 2 cents. <br /><br />I could be wrong though. <br /><br />Maybe one of the hosts will chime in and respond to your inquiry about the widget :)<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />~Nicole<br />Blog: <a href="http://www.madlabpost.com/" rel="nofollow">The Madlab Post</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MadlabPost" rel="nofollow">@MadlabPost</a> on TwitterNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-85597989621468614922012-03-30T02:17:05.313+00:002012-03-30T02:17:05.313+00:00Good luck to everyone!
