Day 8 of the March SOLSC! #sol14

Stacey Shubitz
WRITE. Every day in March write a slice of life story on your own blog. SHARE. Link your post in the comments on each daily call for slice of life stories here at TWT. GIVE. Comment on at least three other slice of life stories/blogs.
WRITE a slice of life story on your own blog.
SHARE a link to your post in the comments section.
GIVE comments to at least three other SOLSC bloggers.

I’ve had some trouble leaving comments for people from my iPad and iPhone. I thought it was just some kind of Stacey-only tech problem. Or perhaps the comments were being held for moderation and I just didn’t receive the message.

Beth e-mailed the entire TWT team yesterday asking if the rest of us were having issues leaving comments from an iPad or iPhone. Whenever she tried to leave a comment from either of her devices, the comment often disappears instead of posting.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Beth and I have both had difficulties when we’ve deleted anything in the comment space (and try to continue typing). This is especially tricky when we try to comment on Blogger blogs from our iPads or iPhones since we have to start all over again. 

Is anyone else having difficulties like this? If you have a fix for the problem, please send us an email and let us know so we can communicate that to others.

THANKS!

BE INSPIRED:

Inspiration begets inspiration. And that’s what happened when I saw, “10 Things Right Now,” a post by Mandy Robek (@mandyrobek) a few months ago.  Mandy created a list that was inspired by a post she saw on Ali Edwards’ blog. In turn, I created a “10 Things Right Now” list too.  

If you’re looking for something to write about today or any day, consider using Mandy’s list as a mentor to create one of your own.

    1. I’ve been googling an answer to the iphone/ipad commenting problem. It seems like it is a blogger/apple issue. Tried several setting changes, etc. Nothing works. Guess I’ll just have to wait and comment when I have my computer!
