Andy stayed home this morning, planning to go up this afternoon to see if the road to Cochiti Mesa (the mesa across the valley from us) was open. Then we received this email:
Hi Neighbors,
The first county road grader made it through about 9 AM this morning. Two more are coming, so they will be widening the road over the next few hours.
That was good news! And later the author wrote to say our neighbor down in Del Norte Canyon, on the way to our house, had talked the grader into making a pass down from the fire station. Even better news.
It was a gorgeous day, so Andy asked if I wanted to go too. Sure, why not?!
We decided to go sometime after lunch to give the road crew plenty of time, so in the meantime I decided to look at the problem of commenters having to input their information every time they wanted to make a comment. It was annoying, but other people had the same problem and blamed it on WordPress changes, and I didn’t want to spend the hours and hours that problems like this can sometimes take.
The recent post, Interesting Questions, reminded me of the old saying,
For every problem under the sun,
There is a solution or there is none.
If there be one try to find it,
If there be none, never mind it.
It’s not that simple. Sometimes you know there is at least one solution to a problem, but it may take a huge commitment of time to find it and you have other priorities.
OK, so I would spend an hour or so trying to find the answer. If it took longer than that I would drop it for now. I did find an article that pointed me in the right direction, and, once I figured it out, the answer was really easy. (If you’re interested in what change to make, just ask, I won’t go into it here.) Here’s what the change looks like in the comment section:
Notice that if you click the little box that says
Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
it should save you from entering your information every time. How cool is that?!
The ride up to Cochiti Mesa and the walk down and back from Del Norte Canyon was cool too, but I’ll write about that tomorrow.
Take care and have fun!

not sure that is working, the new part – as the other “error page” is in operation…so posting this again, a reply
this is ridiculous – now it posts…
I think these new problems are all linked to “w/press” getting too big for it’s boots, too many blogs and not keeping up with technology other or maybe assuming everyone has state of the ark computer system…
but I do note that your new line with tick box has worked 🙂 for this 2nd reply…
I’m glad the little box worked at least! I had no end of problems tonight with Apple’s newest and greatest “improvements”, plus my mail program dropped some of my contacts, etc. I told Andy I deserve a gold medal for not ranting but just plugging along and getting things done in spite of the obstacles. (My arm is getting sore from patting myself on the back so much!)
I’m just going to start coming to you to solve my problems! 🙂
I do hope you are well, and enjoyed your weekend!
Thank you! We are fine and had a great weekend. I hope you’re feeling good again too.
I’ll be happy to do that. I’ve noticed that I have to input the information each time I comment, but I love your blog, so it’s not a big deal. Thanks for looking into it!
It bothered me that people had to do that, so I’m glad the solution was so easy. Thank you for your patience!
Glad you were able to get out for awhile.
It’s never really bothered me having to put my info in each time because as soon as I click the box my info comes up and I just click on it to enter it. But I’m glad you found a solution to the problem
I’m glad you haven’t had to reenter the whole thing each time. I appreciate people taking the trouble to comment.
Glad to hear that the roads are beginning to open up. It must have been nice to get out for a ride.
We visit several blogs where we have to input our info each time, but for the most part, it really isn’t that big of a deal.

I’m glad it doesn’t bother you. It did bother me that people had to do it here — it didn’t seem friendly.
