Comments, on this blog!

Dear Readers of littlebarefeetblog — occasional; random; and, regular:

Many months ago, I used the Sweep feature on my email to redirect messages I didn’t want to receive in my Inbox. Unwittingly, ALL WORDPRESS.COM “COMMENTS AWAITING APPROVAL” ENDED UP in my DELETED FOLDER.

I THINK it happened when somebody who was regularly Commenting in a politically slanted/rather derogatory and “pestery” fashion had to be dealt with by a means made available by WordPress. Since I couldn’t Block this reader, I chose the “Comments Awaiting Approval” feature.

Consequently, even those I would have WARMLY WELCOMED – you know, lavishly complimentary (!) or otherwise respectfully supportive (or, even legitimately challenging) – were all SET to “AWAITING APPROVAL.”

And, WordPress chose to notify me of said comments (awaiting approval) via: you guessed it: Email…

ERGO.

So, I’ve missed MOST – if not nearly all – of your Comments, over the past several months to maybe a year?!

THANK YOU, Readers, for sticking with me — even if your Comments have appeared to have gone completely unnoticed, by me. I have missed them, and the dialogue they so often generated!

MY PROBLEM: Outlook won’t let me change the status of receipt of WordPress notifications. I will have to remove the “Comments Awaiting Approval ” feature, from the blog — and, hope no harassing elements return.

Please. Forgive this mess.

Thank you!!!!

I MISS YOU!

ever,
