three

I spent all 

of 

yesterday morning 

through lunch

 trying 

to figure 

out 

how and why 

my comments 

turned into

'no-reply comment' 

 I tried

 to get to my profile

to see

 how

 the

 'show email' link

 had

 become 

unchecked

 but

 that option 

was

 no 

longer 

available

 no matter

 what I did 

no matter

 where I clicked

 I ended up 

on 

Google+ 

I was so frustrated

 I turned to that 

oxymoronic 

Blogger Help 

the answer 

I got

was

 'the email shown option was no longer an option as Blogger is trying to make blogging more secure' 

they're

 all 

about

 helping 

us 

avoid 

hijackers and hackers

if your email 

isnt out there

 then 

no one can hijack your blog 

really? 

Google+

 broadcasts

 your

 full 

real 

name

 how is that protecting us? 

And

 if you chose

 (operative word - chose)

to make your email public

 then its out there 

on
Google+

 but 

not 

attached 

to your comments

 on the blogs

 you visit/comment

 on

way to go, Blogger!

 I hope

 that 

Blogger 

reconsiders 

returns the right 

to choose

 to us

 the bloggers

Stepping off my soap box 

here's a photo to make up for all that whining

this is midway across the Brooklyn Bridge looking across the East River at the Manhattan Bridge

those bikes are rentals did I mention you can ride your bike or a rented bike across the bridge? 

You can. 

 if

 you have recently

 learned

 you've 

turned 

into 

a 'no-reply'

 here's a fabulous tutorial

 to get you back

 where you want to be
