....that after a year of blogging and being on blogspot, I would have played around with all of the features and familiarized myself with the "ins" and "outs" of the system. But I realized this past week that I've never known how to add a catchy phrase to the bottom of each post where people click to comment. Someone emailed asking how to post a comment for the give away....and I had to explain it by saying, "You click on the words, # ( a number) comment."
That sounded nondescript and confusing. So this weekend, I clicked around in blogspot and found the page where you can add a greeting to the "post a comment" page... (and I got a little silly...but I may keep it!)
I had help finding the edit page to add a catchy phrase to the bottom of each post.....(Thanks Lana!).
And before you read what "catchy phrase" I added and are offended and refuse to post....let me explain the word "Quaint"!!
(The word can also be found on My Website as the title to the links page, and I thought it would be cute here too.)
Here are a couple of definitions of the adjective "Quaint":
