Perhaps the posting will settle down to a more manageable amount, but I'm already frustrated by posts that talk about not being able to figure out how to add the widget to their blog, and people who are posting multiple posts listing their daily post. <br /><br />New things always take some getting used to, and of course there will be some growing pains. Just wondering how others are experiencing this.Siouxsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940031175235609746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-73076525320994293912017-04-01T19:05:04.800+00:002017-04-01T19:05:04.800+00:00I will be writing about authors, characters from b...I will be writing about authors, characters from books, movies.<br /><a href="http://fullofcherries.blogspot.in" rel="nofollow">Life is just a bowl of cherries</a>Meghahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456122349556682811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-41227262807262795242017-04-01T15:15:41.005+00:002017-04-01T15:15:41.005+00:00No need to declare a theme and you can join in any...No need to declare a theme and you can join in anytime.

I like the idea of a list, even if it is defective, but I'm not gonna take my toys and go home just because it's not the way I want it to be. This is a FREE VOLUNTARY service we all take advantage of here. Why all the negativity?<br /><br />That being said, I do have a question to see if anyone has any bright ideas. My wife is an anonymous blogger. She does not want people IRL to know about her blog. It allows her to write more freely. Because of this, she cannot post to Facebook or Twitter with her account because it would give away her identity. Does anyone know of a way to post anonymously without having to have someone else post for her every day?Brett Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181569922751252054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-47941135825396044922017-03-30T01:30:47.485+00:002017-03-30T01:30:47.485+00:00I only recently found out about this, but I'm ...I only recently found out about this, but I'm going to jump in! :) It sounds like a lot of fun. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://nataliewestgate.com" rel="nofollow">http://nataliewestgate.com</a>Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602493804414515391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-40160150010731539962017-03-28T21:22:34.110+00:002017-03-28T21:22:34.110+00:00Your comments have both shown up just fine.

That's way too much work for me. At the same time when your list has 1700 blogs it's not like anyone's going to click through all of those anyway.

Some of my posts were less than factual, and if that becomes the case this year, I will mention a "100% fact-free post" at the beginning of each entry. I'm not too sure how I feel about not having a list, but will be investigating the link-within-the-signature post, I see here.

It is virtually no work at all. Check the boxes to do so, set it to default and you never have to look at it again. It will always post for you.<br /><br />I use Hootsuite to schedule social media posts all the time. Adding a few blog posts will not be an issue. The only extra work I can think of is having to visit the A to Z Facebook post each day to add my link, but that takes less than 30 second, so I can hardly complain.<br /><br />I know I will definitely appreciate not having to weed through dozens of dead links and people who had stopped participating, but were still on the list. Now, the only links included each day, will be links that have actually been written.<br /><br />I love it.Brett Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181569922751252054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-37081265073206905912017-03-23T17:44:31.260+00:002017-03-23T17:44:31.260+00:00Thank you Arlee Bird for clearing the air and for ...Thank you Arlee Bird for clearing the air and for a very quick, encouraging response.<br />Looking forward to a great time throughout April'17.<br />Regards,<br />Anagha, Team MocktailMommiesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17123727611003668906noreply@blogger.com
