You and I are kindred spirits (to quote Anne of Green Gables - that I am currently reading) I hate those pop up ads vehemently and it has to be a pretty fantastic post to get me to stay there clicking crosses and trying to get rid of all the "please follow me" or "buy this stuff" ads.

There's a freedom that comes from being able to express whatever you want, whenever you want &, whatever your blogging style, there WILL be people who will appreciate it. I call other bloggers my 'friends', because even having never met them I know that we have similarities that draw us & sometimes bind us. <br /><br />I really hate the advertising on some blogs & (I may be missing out on some great stuff, but) I usually don't bother to stop by them again. I especially dislike the ads that keep popping up after you've closed them once or videos about crap I didn't go looking for that keep playing randomly.<br /> <br />:-)<br /><br />Mrs Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636736944375337989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-74172780977738437422017-03-15T23:10:01.093+08:002017-03-15T23:10:01.093+08:00Hi, Leanne - By changing just a couple of details,...Hi, Leanne - By changing just a couple of details, this post describes my approach to blogging completely. I began blogging 13 months ago -- no real idea why I was doing this, or how to do it. After publishing my first post, I was totally hooked. My learning curve is still very steep.<br /><br />I do have a random question for you. I notice that you've used CommentLuv. I tried this comment feature and loved it. My concern is that readers said that they did not receive an email notice when I replied to their comments. Do you know how to correct this?<br /><br />I look forward to following your blog further.retirementreflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256842249783275416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-65260496750715029682017-03-15T19:53:36.455+08:002017-03-15T19:53:36.455+08:00One thing I like about blogging is all the friends...One thing I like about blogging is all the friends (like you) that I'm meeting all over the world :) Thank you Leanne for sharing this post at the Wednesday AIM Link Party at Grammy’s Grid.
