The road ends, but the journey continues...
– Notice –
For the next 4-6 weeks, me, myself, hubby, himself and assorted others will be doing various maintenance work on this ole self-hosted Word Press site. Down time is expected to be limited and intermittent. There may be times when you cannot access my site. Please do not be discouraged – try again another day!
– Peace, all –

While we get ready for Dorian’s possible impact Wednesday/Thursday, I leave you with this image and a link to a well-articulated post regarding a slice of the world’s Reality by Alanna Pass.
You go, girl!
It should be noted: in less than 12 hours, the problem I mentioned in the previous post about my comments on other people’s blogs being marked as spam was quickly corrected.
Immediately after contacting Akismet on their contact page as suggested in an article I found via a google search, an Akismet tech e-mailed me. Thus beginning the process of gathering info in order to figure out the ‘whys’, testing and then applying the appropriate method for ‘un-spamming’ my comments.
If you ever find yourself in this situation, I heartily encourage you to start at the Akismet contact page and begin a dialogue with the tech team.
They will get the job done.
A quick note here:
Lately my comments on other people’s blogs – even those I’ve followed for years – have not been appearing on their comment page. I’ve attempted to correct that by notifying them individually either using their contact-page-form or by piggy-backing on other comments made on the same article. This has gotten way too complicated so I’m sending out this blog post in the hopes that it will help rectify the situation.
If you are a blogger I follow and/or someone I comment on your posts from time to time, please check your spam folder and Un-Spam Me!
What a pain, right? But thank you in advance…
Meanwhile, I’ve also notified AKISMET* about the problem. Realistically, though, who knows how long it will take for my humble request to be noticed in the reality that is the internet – a place filled with millions of spammers and legitimate commenters all mixed together in the blogosphere and beyond.
Have you ever had this problem, too? Do you have any pointers on how to rectify the problem?
If so, please comment below and if you can’t ‘get through’ then try my contact page form…maybe it’s happening on my site as well. It does need a huge overhaul…sigh.
*While doing a google search I came across this very helpful article and followed the advice given once accessing the AKISMET contact page .
Note: to all of you who took the time to comment on my last post, thank you. I usually respond promptly and directly to each comment made on my blog posts. However this time, I felt that allowing your voices to stand alone in response to our collaborative poem enabled the mood and message of the moment to linger.

Here’s a little reminder that not everything in this world is topsy-turvey crazy.
