    1. I have a question… I have your site on my desktop for convenience so I can check it easily. The problem is, it is stuck on Feb 6. How do I put a link on my desktop and the current post come up?
      Thanks Bloke, Teri

    2. BTW, your site is looking sooooo cool.
      How do you do it? Even my last blog post came up automatically.
      I’m impressed!!! (as always) Teri

    3. Thanks Teri, it’s so good to have you back.

      I took a look but I don’t see my stuff on your blog so I’m not sure what you are talking about. Is it my newsfeed that you’re using in a script perhaps?

      [ Reply..]

    4. I right-clicked on your site and put a shortcut on my desktop. When I click on the shortcut, it goes back to the post date when I made the shortcut that instead of the current page.
      I have just been hitting ‘home’ when I get there and it takes me to the most recent post. I’ve missed you!! since I’ve had company and been too busy to do much except go, go, go. Teri

      Tica Macha (Teri)’s last blog post..Church on Sunday

    5. Teri, you must have saved the shortcut from a particular post page. You need to make another shortcut from my main page. I’ve missed you around here too.
