No one is able to respond to your comment...changing that would allow folks to send you a response. I do have another bit of advice to give you but don't want it to be public. If you're interested, send me a PM and give me your e-address so I can let you know.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-36325811896615527282014-03-15T21:19:14.462-04:002014-03-15T21:19:14.462-04:00This is a delightful give-away and I've follow...This is a delightful give-away and I've followed you since Vicki's GYBP. I use Picasa for photo watermarks and think you're wise to use a watermark. Should someone pin you or use your photo, it lets viewers know where to find you. My watermark is simply "Thistle Cove Farm".

It's nice and polished ! : ) I'll answer one of your questions about visiting and such. If a person has a very specific question I will answer on the blog but usually email them as well. Other than that I don't answer...I just try to visit back within a day or two. Reason is...I doubt they are going to run back to my post just to see me say "Thank You" or something....though if I see that they are a reader without a blog, I'll reply on the blog. Hope that makes sense : ) <br /><br />I don't watermark my photos. I suppose if someone steals one the world won't end, but generally I find that here and there a person will request using one and they'll contact me in comments or email about that. I have a spiderweb photo that a professor requested using for a scholarly paper on biomass something or other not too long ago and I gave permission..I suppose that he found it on Google Images. When people do find images on Google to use, the image always goes back to the source anyway : ) Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-43278649327270747962014-03-12T23:52:06.410-04:002014-03-12T23:52:06.410-04:00Congrats!

Had no idea how huge the blog world was. I still am learning and really don't know a lot. I love the connection that we get with other bloggers. I try to respond to my comments, but sometimes life gets in the way. I always hope that other bloggers understand. I love blogging and the friends I have made. I do think it's important to blog every few days so that people don't forget you. lol! Love the teacup! Thanks for the give away.<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-16491314518555120332014-03-12T11:28:00.561-04:002014-03-12T11:28:00.561-04:00Now a girl can never have too many teacups.

I agree with everyone else--yo...Happy Blogiversary! I agree with everyone else--your blog is lovely. I am especially jealous of your header. Please count me in for your beautiful give-away :)<br /><br />You asked great questions and the answers people have given are helping me! (I'm not a year old yet either.) I respond to comments on my blog, and then I visit the commentor's blog and leave a relevant note there. I do think it's the polite thing to do, though not everyone else in the blog world appears to think so(!).<br /><br />Whenever I leave a comment, I click "Notify me" in order to get any responses. Google also notifies me of any responses from Google+ friends. <br /><br />Regarding watermarks, I don't put them on every photo, just the high quality ones or those that I'm posting on Pinterest. I use PicMonkey to add text or watermark--it's super easy. <br /><br />One thing someone told me about three months in is that my photos weren't big enough. I'm much happier now that I've gone to ex-large sized photos.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting me today,<br />Diana<br />Adirondack Girl @ HeartDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693740448978729377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-53337941092323523962014-03-10T14:51:33.782-04:002014-03-10T14:51:33.782-04:00Congratulations to making it to the three month ma...Congratulations to making it to the three month mark!

This is such a beautiful giveaway!! Plea...Deborah, <br />This is such a beautiful giveaway!! Please count me in. That is the most lovely shade of yellow for a teacup and towel! <br />For the advice: Well I have been blogging for over 4 years and things have changed a lot for me personally. I am busier at home now than when I started to blog so in the beginning I could do a furniture makeover, etc and blog about it now, now such time to do things like that. I don't really enjoy redoing furniture anyway. So, my undiscovered passion has come to the forefront of my blogging and that is having tea. I tried so hard to blog about everything, never wanting to loose any viewer by not including everything in my blogging. But, with the addition of Pinterest two years ago it started to become clearer what people were looking for when they visited my blog, and recipes were far above the other things I was putting huge amounts of time into. I am trying to say that you should blog about what your passionate about and the rest will take care of itself. Funny thing for me was I didn't really know what my passion was till I explored lots of different things and it has taken me 4 years to get to this revelation. But, I am comfortable now with the plan to mainly do recipes and cottage teas. I just love them! That's all I know!:) Best of luck with your blogging!<br />Sherry The Charm of Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510594223746911615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-15327177086698490262014-03-03T13:35:51.668-05:002014-03-03T13:35:51.668-05:00Congratulations on your three months of blogging, ...Congratulations on your three months of blogging, Deborah! When I first start to blog, I was scared to death! It took me months to feel like I fit in because the blogs I visited were so beautiful and the photography was amazing. But I have learned and I continue to learn to just be myself, relax and share what I love. Other bloggers have taught me so much and I am truly thankful for them. I enjoy your blog because we share similar interests and I too love all things beautiful. I am a follower and happy to be one. Thank you for your lovely Giveway. It will make someone very happy to win it. {Hope it's me!} Thank you for sharing and joining me for tea. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-8933769916122840192014-03-03T13:32:01.840-05:002014-03-03T13:32:01.840-05:00I don't know how to get rid of the "Reply...I don't know how to get rid of the "Reply Delete".
