Question...........

I had an email from a bloggy friend and she said she cannot see the first bits of my top post……top left side as the slide show goes over the top of it and she can’t read it…………does this happen to anyone else………????? Can you leave me a comment if it does please.

Also I am going to do some “how to” blogging posts – not that I am the pro but I have helped a few friends out with things……..so if you want to know something ask away and we will see how we go………I only know “blogspot” so don’t ask me questions about typepad or wordpress. Hope I don't get myself in to deep here but we will see what happens.........

.........take care til next time.............

Check out what her monitor resolution is. I haven't had any problems reading your posts. Look forward to reading all your tips!

No probs here Donna.
Do you know how to do the strikethrough thingo when you want to cross out a word? I realise I probably just showed you all how dumb I am but ...well...I am!

Cathy said...

Looks okay on my screen! I can always read your posts. I am with Jodie - how do you do that strike through thingo? I know it is probably something really easy and simple - I just haven't found out how yet.

Leanne said...

I'm with your bloggy friend the slide show covers your writing.

Your blog is appearing correctly for me.... Nothing wrong on my side of things.
I have another blog I follow that does blog help stuff. It's very helpful if you don't know. You'll be fine.

Questions:
1. Do you use blogspot to make the picture in the header smaller or photoshop?
2. I have noticed that some bloggers have a background that is like fabric etc. how is that possible?

Anne-Maree said...

Yes that happens to me also Donna. I have no idea why.

Peg - Happy In Quilting said...

All looks good to me...look forward to qestion and answer time...

Robyn said...

Your blog comes through fine here.

Now as to questions..........how long do you have???? I really want to pretty mine up and would love to understand flicker too.

Louise said...

I can see everything fine. How do you do a background pattern - say for example on our Audrey and Maude blog??

Bricoles Textiles said...

All is OK for me.
My daughter has the same problem with my own blog and we don't know why ...

Joyce said...

Your blog looks fine to me. Do you save your blog entries some way in case Bloglines suddenly disappears from the face of the earth? I often think I should and actually did put the first year on CD but then got lazy. I've also contemplated making it into a book, just in case. It's my only record of my quilting.

Unknown said...

No problems here Donna, what a good idea with the Q&A.

jacquie said...

Covers it up for me too...hmmmmm?

Helz said...

1st Question - How to Embed a Video???
2nd Question - How to quit the blurriness in My Signature @ bottom of My Posts...

That's all for now Chookyblue but I'm bound to come up with MORE... LOL. Q&A's Top Idea !!! No Problems here with the Slideshow - Tis All Good......

I have no problems with your blog I can see everything. My note book has a widescreen. I noticed that my own blog looks very different depending on what kind of browser I use.

Anonymous said...

Could it have anything to do with the various sizes of monitors? My two computers, one desktop and one laptop, are different and blogs appear differently on them. The laptop is a widescreen but the desktop isn't and things appear a bit squeezed in and also larger.

The Naturalist's Daughter said...

The slide show blocks the left hand side of the words in your posts for me. I use Firefox for my browser, so that could be the problem. Mind you I just thought it was my browser cause its been a bit strange lately...

NO problems here Donna.

Lurline said...

Oh, Donna,
How many people will be asking you questions! Here goes:

1 - How do I put a Squilters logo on my blog?
2 - I have changed my photo on my blog and that is okay, but the old photo still shows up on Comments - the old photo shows my turkey neck and my teeth look funny - maybe I need a complete makeover?

Best wishes - Lurline.

Teodo said...

Here no problem Donna.
ciao ciao

Candace said...

It looks fine on mine.
I would like to know how to add things on the side of the blog like UFO's, Labels, and such lists.

Stina Blomgren said...

I have the same problem as the other ones...the slide show covers a bit of the post!!

Stina Blomgren said...

Hi there again...
Opened up in Safari this time...and there it is no problem...the problems I had was when I used Firefox!! Maybe a clue...;D

Janice said...

I'm using IE and there are no problems with overlapping or anything. I would love to get some help on how to add a link in my posts. Thanks.

Anonymous said...

No dramas at this end either... I think it's great that you're going to be able to answer ALL our questions!!!! ;P

Lorraine said...

looks fine when I open it......question....which template do you use to make it a widescreen version (mine is in the middle of the screen and your new blog takes up the whole screen...not sure if you know what I mean!...

Anonymous said...

it is happening to me also - and I am on explorer on a Mac...

Christine said...

No problems here. Some bloggy posts sounds like a great idea. Looking forward to them.

Liz said...

Hi Donna,
Your blog is fine on my monitor. I have a widescreen though.
Maybe it has something to do with the size of the monitor.
I have a question, how do get the Lovely People Said in your comment bar?
Great idea about a question & answer forum.
Thanks and kind regards from Liz
btw lovely,lovely photo slideshow

Julie said...

All fine here. I'm using Safari on a Mac. with a wide screen.

Grazia said...

I have no problem, it's all OK.
Ciao Donna!

Cheryl said...

Looks great on my computer. Can't wait to learn some new stuff about blogspot! I kind of stumble my way thru, and I am sure there are shortcuts to share. Thanks for taking this on!

Anonymous said...

I can't see the first bits either - but I love the slideshows!

Lisa said...

This is exactly the problem for me. I use Firefox, and sometime it does display a little differently to Explorer. Still enjoy dropping by!!

Ginger Patches said...

I can't see it either, I just come back and read your new posts when they're old that way they're down the screen further. It's the slide show that covers them.

Lucie said...

Chooky, I haven't blogged in ever so long. I was afraid I would have to learn all over but it is coming back to me. I have your Blog in my Favorites, started going over your posts, clicked on your tag "blogspot" and can't wait to read up on what I have been missing. I am subscribed to your emails and a big fan.
