I’m tired.  I spent most of yesterday here at the computer finishing a project that began last week.  It’s all about WordPress plugins.  They add such handy and useful functionality that a blogger can hardly do without them.

One of the first plugins that I installed today is a comment reply notifier.  What that means is that when you leave a comment here, and I hope you do, and someone replies to your comment you will receive an e-mail notification of that reply to your comment.  If you think that’s confusing, wait until you see the message.  The generic parts are written in oriental characters.  I can only guess at what they really mean.  If you find this annoying, please let me know and I’ll disable this feature.

Thanks to another plugin, at the bottom of the form is a place to subscribe to all comments or to only replies on your comment.  It’s a bit more of a bother, because you have to do that each time.  Your opinions are always welcome and I promise not to get upset with you about them.

Also, just below the comment field you will find a collection of smilies that you can use to spice up your comments. 8)   Just click on your choice and it will be inserted into the text. 🙂   Try it out. ❗   Please. 😀

I’m also working on a font-changer plugin.  WordPress handles fonts differently than Blogger.  WordPress sets the type face and size in configuration files.  By contrast, Blogger allows you to select your font and size as you post or to use your defaults, which is one of only a few features that I miss.  At this point, I’m in over my head, but willing to keep struggling with it.

You’ll notice other changes too.  Will you help me by sharing your ideas on how to improve this blog?  It will be deeply appreciated.
