If I were Queen of Slices:
1. We would write in February.
It only has 28 days AND we could catch our breath before April and all that Poetry Month brings our way.
2. No one would ever have a slice with no comments,
Leave a comment with the day(s) you got zero love and I'll visit.
3. Problems with disappearing comments will vanish, expire, vamoose, beggone, Evanesco, perish forever.
Yes, I've tried Jetpack and had some success with it, but I still have comments that evaporate from sight.
A second try brings this response: "Duplicate comment. Looks like you already said that."
"Well, where the heck did that comment go? It's not showing up on my friend's blog. Is it going walkabout in cyberspace?

This is my fourteenth year participating in the March Slice of Life Challenge, writing every day during the month of March. Thank
you, Two Writing Teachers, for creating this challenge and providing the
space and support for us year after year. And thanks to this magnificent
community for sharing stories with me and encouraging my writing life.
I, too, have had trouble with comments sticking when I make them on others' blogs. I've learned to go back and copy, then go completely out of the platform, allow it to reload, and paste it back for a second try. Most of the time, it works. But technology can be as frustrating as a two year old sometimes.
ReplyDelete28 days of slicing! We would already be finished with two bonus slices logged!! One thing I love about March slicing is that it makes what used to feel like a really long month go faster for me. But yes, a little breather between March and April would be wonderful! (Still trying to decide if I'm going to participate in poetry month.) Like you, I worry over those zero comment posts. I think some slicers haven't found their community of dedicated readers yet. It makes a big difference to have a smaller community within the community to write to.
ReplyDeleteOh good old word press seem to have issues every March. So far I have made it through with out losing half my post. Here is crossing my fingers I make the last two days.
ReplyDeleteDelightful! I hereby vote for you to be Queen. Love the changes you're proposing. :-) (Though I do love how having the slicing in March allows me to document the progress of spring arriving in my area of the world.)
