Giveaways,Features, Blogiversary…and Stuff….

Okay, first off….next Tuesday is the first anniversary of Keen Inspirations!!! My “Blogiversary”! I can hardly believe it’s been a year already! What’s harder for me to believe is that I’ve stuck with it this long…;-) I have had a few down times and I appreciate everyone sticking with me! I have truly received so much encouragement and joy from all of your comments that I don’t see myself giving this up! I’ve made some new friends this year…and yes, I think blog friends ARE real friends! :-) Sooo…to say thank you and to celebrate one year, I have a couple of giveaways lined up!! I’ll also have some more printables from me and a project (that I’m really excited about) reveal!

Giveaways!

First up, will be a giveaway from my friend and fellow homeschool mom, Kim Poteete Madren, Director and Independent Consultant with Pampered Chef!

Some stuff…

I posted a while back about having problems with getting  comments to post. After reading the comments left for me, I’m not the only one experiencing this! I’ve kept an eye on when it happens and here is what I’ve discovered:

It is a log in issue…when I restart my computer in the morning and read my blogs with a cup of coffee, the first comment I try to leave puts me through this cycle of taking me to the top of the blog I’m trying to comment on…this happens several times before it finally posts…but it never actually asks me to log in! I guess somehow that process logs me in?!?!?!? So, I’ve noticed that when you leave a comment that “posts” you stay at the bottom of the page and can see your comment. If you are taken to the top of the page, scroll down, your comment most likely didn’t post! This also happens sometimes throughout the day, but so far I haven’t found any rhyme or reason to it. I don’t ever “log out” so, I don’t have a clue why it happens later! So, check to be sure you’ve actually “posted”!

  8. Looking forward to your giveaways. Maybe I won't totally mess it up this time! :)

    Yes, Ingles triples were sad. I had to buy organic coffee, milk, eggs etc so I just grabbed a few coupons to triple. I wish it had been a little better. Oh well.

  11. You came by my blog and asked me to do a tutorial on painting riverrocks onto my porch. I would love to but I will have to wait for it to get warmer. We have snow still, but I will do one. Thanx and I'm loving your blog! Kelli Hansen

  16. When someone writes an article he/she keeps the thought of a user in his/her brain that how a user can understand it. Thus that’s why this article is outstanding. Thanks! 바카라사이트
