I love technology while it works but when it goes wrong - aarrgghh!<br />However my usual laptop has had an episode so to speak and is undergoing some major surgery layer today so Himself set me up on the old one.

And as for the whole 'embedded' situation ... er ... right. Didn't know I was embedded or what I did to make that happen! If anyone knows how I change it, let me know!! What a pain. I'm sorry I don't know how to help - I'm OK with all these things until they go wrong, then I'm a 'throw my hands up in the air and scream helplessly' person, I'm sorry to say!Sheila Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997206301877289623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-15343354667036171982010-02-01T20:08:32.165+00:002010-02-01T20:08:32.165+00:00Thanks Flowerpot - I love the name Tom.
Okay Olivi...Thanks Flowerpot - I love the name Tom.<br />Okay Olivia I've just been over to check and (according to the dark skipper aka Captain Black your comments are embedded and they are the one's that I'm having problems with. The words "post a comment" are there but not the box to post them in. I also tried "help" and found it equally unhelpful. I'd be interested to know if you can see the photos of my followers when you look on my blog because I can't see any. Neither my own nor anyone elses. Apparently that is a known problem.<br />I don't think I've ever met a Lennon either Amanda. Any idea where that came from?Colette McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383068332228040704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-66795415815330922872010-02-01T13:20:58.371+00:002010-02-01T13:20:58.371+00:00Ooh, I know exactly what you mean - I always seem ...Ooh, I know exactly what you mean - I always seem to have a Lennon reoccurring in my novels (never met a Lennon in my life!)

Do you get a message, or anything? I've been looking in 'Help', but it wasn't much 'Help' (!) - so it's a bit of a mystery especially as other people seem to be able to comment OK.

I *really* need to invest in a good name book! Take care.

I know sometimes when I'm working on a story a person will pop into my head and while I might use their name I have to be really careful not to use their character.<br />I'm glad it's not just me Olivia. I don't know why but somehow Tom just pops into my head all the time. I still can't post on your blog ehich is very annoying but congratulations on your latest success (I'm looking forward to reading it) and Noah is GORGEOUS.<br />I think names are really difficult LilyS.

I have to look at baby-name websites to give me ideas for different names - there are thousands to choose from, so why do I keep coming back to the same ones! Good luck with your submissions.

Wha...I find the naming of characters really hard. <br /><br />What I find even harder to deal with is when I've been working on a story, found a name I'm happy with and then I meet a real-life person with the same name - it then feels odd to use that name in my story...<br /><br />XXSuzanne Ross Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561888635304578484noreply@blogger.com
