I have been communicating with yo...Hi again, Adele. I have been communicating with you from my WordPress blog as "Sandra Conner." But you will see a Blogger username on here today. I'm writing this time to ask if you have any advice for someone just coming onto the "Blogger" hosting site. I have been with WordPress for a couple of years, and I have 3 blogs on there -- plus administrating another. I originally chose them because of their very accessible and friendly tech support. But lately, that support seems to be very inaccessible. So that is no longer a reason for staying. Also, I cannot get some of the articles to go onto the site looking like I want them to look -- unless I get deeply embedded into the mysteries of HTML code -- and I refuse to take on those headaches. So I decided to try out "Blogger." <br /><br />I created an experimental blog -- one for my poetry only -- this week, and I am trying to learn the lay of the land on here. So far it looks as though typing and posting a poem in the size font I want is much easier here. However, I've posted only one poem so far, so that may change. If you have any advice, I would really appreciate learning anything you have learned from your experience here.<br />Thank you.<br />SandraPick a Peck of Poemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289863314517025993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-53267760253207320232012-08-31T13:20:45.833-04:002012-08-31T13:20:45.833-04:00So glad you enjoyed the prompt!

Although I've written poetry most of my life, I have never tried to take a true story and tell it in meter and rhyme.

When I hopped over here to check it out, I was immediately reminded of a true story I read some time ago about a telephone and how it proved instrumental in bringing two people together in marriage. I was inspired to try to capture the main part of that story in a poem. It was great fun. I know on WordPress, we ask people to leave a link to their response to the challenge in the comment box. Not sure how you guys do it here, but I'll leave the link here in case you want to check it out. Thanks for the challenge.<br /><br />http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/love-on-the-line/Sandra Connerhttp://sandraconner.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-19437739018762362812012-08-28T21:37:16.914-04:002012-08-28T21:37:16.914-04:00I admit it.
