Thankful Thursday

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

I’m thankful for WordPress support. I had an issue with my related posts that didn’t show the three it was supposed to show, but showed six and three of those were duplicates. I usually can fix these issues with code in css, but not this time. Within minutes they supplied me with the proper css code and all is well.

I’m thankful for all my blogging buddies, to include all the kitties, puppies and birds that I visit on a regular basis. You all make me smile.

What are you thankful for today?

    I am glad WP were able to help you. I wish I could contact aol to find out why it won’t load on my PC for the last few days, but even aol help won’t load. 🙁

    We are thankful we have someone to do maintenance on our blog and help if there is an issue as Mom isn’t a code person and she gets to stressed when issues pop up because she doesn’t know how to fix them. Glad yours is fixed!

    Bless your heart Sandee. Yesterday I had a comment from what was labeled as “Test Blog”. Had me scratching my head then I saw “thank you for joining WW”, I said to myself that has to be Sandee. I thought poor Sandee is having issues I hope she isn’t too frustrated. Thankful you had the WP support
    Hugs Cecilia

    Isn’t it wonderful to have a positive interaction with technical people?!?
    Yesterday, during the huge meeting at the office, I could get my touchpad to work on my laptop.
    Luckily, we had an IT person there (to help out management with their screens and such), so I asked for some help.
    The dude could have rolled his eyes, or sighed heavily, but he didn’t and explained why it was operator error.
    Cannot be affronted when treated with dignity.

    Yes, good WP support is so helpful, but it is frustrating when we can’t solve those things ourselves. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

      It was frustrating not to figure it out myself.

    That is so nice when your find a tech support that is really helpful. Mom had to get a new laptop and it has been challenging getting everything moved from the old one to the new one. Thankfully she too has found a helpful resource for some of it.
