Goodness, no! You don’t have to ask permission! lol You can link to me as many times as you want, and most bloggers will feel the same way too. The more linking, the better. I think the only time you really need to ask permission is if you want to use a blogger’s post as a guest post on your own blog.

I’m glad my blog is helpful to you.

Thanks Kristen! I actually had a twinge of an “EEK” moment when I saw your comment on my blog, one, because you’re practically famous, and two, I’m not sure if I did the whole posting about you thing right. Not totally versed in blog ettiquette yet, I guess. Should I have asked you to link to your post first?
Anyway, you are such an inspiration to all. Especially to those of us attempting to homeschool as well. You inspire us to make our homes healthy and happy. I appreciate you.

@Frugal Liz – I had the same “comments” problem you did – I couldn’t even post comments in my own blog. I fixed it, hopefully the fix will work for you:

Go to the Dashboard, then “Settings”, then Comments and make sure that everything is like this

comments: show
comment form placement: pop-up window This was the one that did it for me.
comments default for posts: new posts have comments

I did this with my daughter (6y) with reconstituted dry milk and it turned out great! It isn’t as thick as yours, but it is about the consistency of fruit on the bottom. My daughter actually asked for yogurt and berries for dessert tonight.

Actually, I think I just fixed the comment problem. I just disabled the word verification function and then left a comment on one of my articles and it let me do it without a problem.

@Frugal Liz – you might try going into your settings and making sure you have comments enabled on your posts.

Liz, I just started fresh. I’d been doing a blog solely about food waste before and I wanted to branch out into a frugal blog, so it worked out fine. I think you can transfer your posts, though. You’d have to export them from blogger, and then import them to WordPress. Since your posts are mostly text and not pictures, I’d think it would be a fairly simple procedure.

If you have ads on your blog, though, you might want to stick with Blogger. You can’t have ads on a WordPress blog unless you get your own hosting, like what I have.

I heart WordPress an awful lot, though.

@Kristen Did you transfer your blogs from blogger to wordpress, or did you just start over?

I’ve hesitated jumping on the yogurt bandwagon because I thought it would turn out too runny, but I think your picture may have convinced me to try! Thanks for the motivation, I always look forward to reading your blog!

EngineerMom: kudos to you for taking care for your health. I see more women than I like who watch their figure for cosmetic reasons but not paying attention to the health reasons.

Frugal Liz, weight watchers is definitely one of the sensible systems out there. It’s not a “diet,” it’s a “how to eat for life” system that works with you for the long-term result. To put it another way, permanent changes (in diet) lead to permanent changes (in weight); temporary leads to temporary. BTDT, got the t-shirt.

WilliamB, off to check out Frugal Liz’s blog.
