Special Update!!!

Since I posted the message below, I've received several comments from my divas. First, I'd like to say "Thank you," for commenting! I've said many times before that comments are always welcome and greatly appreciated! I'm not just begging for attention, as comments let me know how well I'm serving you. Case in point: I received a comment from a follower, who shall remain nameless, who had A LOT to say about my blog. I would like to address that reader's comments, for they were very insightful, and did not incite rage as she feared, but instead made me aware of some very important issues.

#1. The reader stated that my page is not reader or comment friendly! She basically explained that some of the ads on my page overlay my posts and that the white text against a black background is hard to read.

• I have since changed the margins so now the ads should not interfere with the posts. They never appeared to overlay my posts on my end, so I had no idea this was an issue! If this continues to pose as a problem, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
• I would like for everyone to let me know in the comment box if the text is difficult to read. AND, please specify if it's just a matter of changing the font size, or if I should change the black background to a lighter color.

#2. The reader stated that my posts get wordy.

• As a professional writer and editor, I am fully aware that a lot of people in this day and age simply don't like to read. I therefore do my best to keep my posts short and sweet. HOWEVER, I try to include pertinent information, so sometimes I can't squeeze a lot of information in 100 words or less. In addition, I try to intersperse pictures with each post so you won't feel bombarded with a large block of text. Yet, if my posts are simply verbose and bore you, then I apologize.

#3. The reader stated that people are hesitant to post because they can't post anonymously.

• When I first started my blog, I allowed anyone to comment: readers, their friends, and even their dogs and cats. Yet, if you read A Message To The Haters, then you'd know that I had to change my settings so that only registered users could comment simply because cowards use the anonymous title most often. Now, I did get some very friendly, insightful feedback from some anonymous users, but nine times out of ten, the comments left by anonymous posters were rude, crude, and just down right disrespectful. Constructive criticism is one thing, but there was nothing constructive about the messages that were being posted by anonymous users. Do I need to hear that I'm fat or ugly? No. Do I need to hear that the text on my blog is difficult to read? YES! And more often than not, a TRUE diva will tell me that, and not some random person who doesn't care to follow my blog! And, if you find the information I provide so helpful, why not support a sistah in her mission and officially register and make your support known?!

#4. Another reader informed me that she recieves an error message each time she tries to post a comment.

• I apologize if more of you have encountered this issue. Why this is happening, I haven't a clue. I'm going to look into getting a Cbox so you guys can post comments with no specific relevance to any post. That way, if you have something to say that doesn't directly correlate to any post, everyone can view your comment and my response.
  

Thanks again for all the feedback! I greatly appreciate it and will continue to use it to better serve you and make Protecting Your Crown & Glory one of the best sites around! Don't forget that in addition to posting comments here, you can always shoot an email to DPrincess_28@yahoo.com.

Be blessed!

XOXO,
