Hey guys - quick question - I've received a few emails from people having problems commenting on our posts. Have you had problems leaving comments lately?
If you have a moment, please try to leave a comment on this post as a test. If you can't leave a comment, there's a poll in the sidebar where you can say so.
This is also a great opportunity for the shy peeps out there to de-lurk. :) Hey, I might even send a little something out as a surprise "thank you" if you leave a comment and help us out! ;)

HI there! A helping hand from someone who REALLY wants to find the time to take part in one of your stitchalongs!! It really is on my to do list!
ReplyDeleteFrom, an until-now-lurker...
I noticed a few issues with it yesterday and I figured it was just my computer being weird, what with the solar flares and all. :)
ReplyDeleteLeaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it helps but my blogger is set up to send me an email when people leave comments on my blog and that hasn't been happening for the last week, I think it needs a visit to the docs!
ReplyDeletelet's give it a try, from a kind-of-lurker-but-huge-fan!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of your shy fans.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog.
Posting a test! Congrats on the recent milestone!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't offered the word verification until I hit "preview")
This is definitely a way to get me to delurk - here's hoping the comments work! :)
ReplyDeleteLet's see if this works..go go super comment test!
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I did have to scroll down to find the CAPTCHA codes and the final "publish" button to complete the comment process - would that cause problems for some folks?
ReplyDeleteDelurking to try leaving a comment. I love all the beautiful handwork you share on this blog!
ReplyDeleteLove you guys!!!
ReplyDeleteCommenting works for me!
ReplyDeletedelurking is a beautiful thing (and yes, I am mostly shy, but a devout reader-reader) :D hi hi
ReplyDeleteReluctantly de-lurking for this test. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm delurking too to leave a comment
ReplyDeleteDelurking to leave a comment. Love the blog :)
ReplyDeleteLove your work. Hope this works.

There have been a lot of blogs lately where I have had major problems commenting and just given up. Some of the CAPTCHA based programs have been IMPOSSIBLE for me to read! Then after about 4 tries, and I'm positive I've gotten the words right, I'm given a new CAPTCHA to solve! Let's see if I can leave a comment here... OK, you have one of the CAPTCHA systems that's really really hard for me to read, so I'll try again. It wouldn't let me leave a comment with my name and URL so let's see if it works with my google account.
ReplyDeletecommenting! no problems so far.... let's see what happens when i try to publish...
ReplyDelete(is this on blogger? i always have trouble commenting with blogger. so much so that i usually just don't comment, just to avoid frustration.)
but i love feeling stitchy! keep it up, floresita!
Testing, testing...
ReplyDeleteI'm not having a problem leaving a comment, although it did require me to hit publish three times. :) Once for it to "take" that I was signing in from my google account. Once to actually try to publish it. And the third because now it was showing a captcha and I could enter the captcha information.
ReplyDelete(p.s. it's possible that the first time I hit publish just happen to coincide with it reloading as it "registered" that I was commenting as my google account)
ReplyDeleteDelurking to help a bit. I love your site!
ReplyDeletetesting...testing...1 2 3
ReplyDeleteNo difficulty from my little hiding spot here in PA.......
ReplyDeleteNow is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Yeah! practicing typing and testing for you...multi-tasking! Thanks!p.s.(I hope you had to type this sentence in beginning type class or you won't get why I did this...:))
ReplyDeleteOk I'm leaving a comment!
ReplyDeleteHello? can anybody hear me?
ReplyDeletelove the site guys, long time lurker :) Thanks
Ground control to Major Tom...
ReplyDeleteTesting...I often have issues on blogger. Perhaps it's just me :)
ReplyDeleteI think it works! ; )
ReplyDeleteTry the name/url solution.
testing...
ReplyDeleteoh, you're using the word verification. blogger's new word verification is awful.
I have no problems.
ReplyDeleteI love the blog.
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! I used my google account and solved the impossibly hard question. I'm having the same problems on my blog. Someone told me it has to do with embedded comments. I switched to a pop up window in my blog editing choices and all seems well now. Good luck. I love your blog and read along weekly. Thanks for being here!
ReplyDeleteI don't recall having any problems commenting. I can see how some people would, those 2 word protections are super blurry.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if this works. I'm pretty quiet, but I love looking at the beautiful stitchy eye candy.
ReplyDeleteIt works for me
ReplyDeleteI've given up on a lot of blogs lately, IMPOSSIBLE to comment. I'll give this a go. . .
ReplyDeleteI've heard similar concerns on my blog- good idea running a test.
ReplyDeleteIt's working fine for me here!
I admit it, I'm a lurker. Everything you post inspires me tremendously, and I just wanted you to know. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnother Lurker commenting! I enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteHello! Yes - I guess this is my first comment here though I'm watching your blog for a while :).
ReplyDeleteTesting.... 1, 2, 3.... let's see what happens....
ReplyDeleteThis is the third blog today that mentions having problems.
ReplyDeleteWork's for me too
ReplyDeletecheck 1-2-3 check
ReplyDeleteYep, has been working for me, too. By the way, I'm so glad that you posted the link to Wild Olive back in the stitchalong post. I had actually never visited her site, and I'm so grateful for finding another really cool blog! Thanks a bunch! :) C
ReplyDeleteone time only de-lurking x
ReplyDeleteTesting....testing....Beuler...Beuler...
ReplyDeleteI normally don't have a problem posting. :) I love this blog.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any issues besides trying to read the new capchas.
ReplyDeleteMy comments are always held until approved (or something to that effect) and to be honest I never bother to check later to see if they actually show up.
ReplyDeleteAnother lurker............
ReplyDeleteThis is a test of the Blogger commenting system. This is only a test. Had this been a real comment, there would have been various witty remarks.
ReplyDeletehello! your website is filled with such beautiful things! the commenting works for me!
ReplyDeleteI've been able to leave a comment this time, but in the past, I have had problems on blogs like yours where the comments are on the same page as the blog post. On my blog, I have the comments box set to open in a new window, and that seems to be ok. I think it depends on the browser that people are using (e.g. which version of Internet Explorer, etc.)Let me know if you need any help with this.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that the new Captcha images are really difficult sometimes!
I've had issues too. We think it's blogger, but it's not regular enough for me to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteworks for me (but the capchas are a problem for me too)
ReplyDeleteI haven't commented in a while, but here's my test! Love your blog and all the inspiration you give us.
ReplyDeleteI've never had problemas to comment, but I'm testing now... I must say the word verification might sometimes be annoying, but hey, we can live with that! though there is an option to take it out...
ReplyDeletePD I've just started march's stitchalong!
Here's my test post -- I am fairly new to the site and really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteTrying to post my first comment. I'm a new follower of this blog and also new to embroidery beyond counted cross-stitch.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall having any trouble commenting on your site.
ReplyDeletetesting, testing.
ReplyDeletegeneric test comment...
ReplyDeletehello..delurking...seems fine to me..
ReplyDeleteSeeing of this will post to you.
ReplyDeleteHiya!
ReplyDeleteFirst comment...
ReplyDeleteIt redirects me briefly to the captcha, but then puts me back on the original page when I try to comment as a wordpress account.
ReplyDeleteI've posted recently, and it worked fine - just trying again...
ReplyDeleteI've always been able to comment. Hope you get it worked out :)
ReplyDeleteI think I can leave a comment!
ReplyDeleteTesting and delurking
ReplyDeleteAnother lurker delurking to try!
ReplyDeleteWorked for me...
ReplyDeletelet's see if it works...
ReplyDeleteCommenting is fun. Hope you work out the bugs. Happy Spring Forward Day.
ReplyDeleteTesting...testing...
ReplyDeleteA couple of times I've not been able to leave a comment, but I can't remember any specifics.
Working. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm such a lurker, I never leave comments...
ReplyDeleteLet's see if this works...
ReplyDeleteHi, love the Feeling Stitchy blog, and hope this works. I laughed when i saw 'now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party' among the comments, I had to learn that so many years ago haha!
ReplyDeleteI've had some trouble leaving comments - not just here by recently I also had trouble posting a couple of comments on Lucky's website. I think the problem is with Google's new policies. Here I go... we'll see if it works! I've been mostly lurking for ages, but I am a huge fan of Feeling Stitchy. If I only had access to one blog, this would be it!
ReplyDeletehere's my comment, hope it goes.
ReplyDeleteWell, that seemed to work as it gave me the opportunity to sign in. Previously, and on Lucky's site as I mentioned I got a window asking me to start a blog on Blogger (which I don't want to do). Over the years I have learned to always copy and paste my comments into a text/note-taking program before I hit "publish" or "send" (I use Notational Velocity on my Mac) so I don't risk losing what I have written. I also add the URL of the page. If I choose "Services" from my browsers menu I get an option to "NV: New note with selection" and it automatically sends my selected comment to Notational Velocity with a link to the page. I'm sure there are other good programs (I also like MacJournal and Journaler and I've heard some good things about Evernote but I can't use the latter because I'm still using system 10.4.11) but NV is simple and quick and automatically syncs with "the cloud" so that I can access my notes from Simplenote on my iPod Touch (or if I had either, an iPhone or iPad). It's nice having a backup of all of my writing.... Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been having any problems.
ReplyDelete~Kristin
No shy, just trying to read a gazillion interesting blogs and still have time to do something myself.
