Comment Alerts
Thanks to Gena Riede's awesome patience and persistence, we've uncovered and fixed a bug that was preventing some of you from being notified of comment and blog updates. 

It seems that whether or not you had the box checked to be emailed these updates they weren't being sent.  This morning we updated the site with a fix and if you weren't before, you should now be receiving them.

You can modify how messages are delivered to you. When you are logged in on the left side of the screen is a link that reads "Settings." Clicking on that page will take you to a place that says "Email Settings." From there you can choose your options of which emails will be sent out to you. You will continue to receive those messages on your log in page as well.

Broken Images
Thanks to Lawrence Yerkes' prodding we've fixed a bug that was affecting images and links on the blog editing pages.  There was an issue when editing a post or an image in a blog the link would change to "http://.../.../yourlink." Upon saving your post the images and links did not work.  The links should now stay in tact when posts are edited.

Please be aware those of you sharing photos with your blogger accounts. You are the only one that sees those images.  Blogger prevents those images from being seen on any pages other than their own unless they are hosted somewhere else. So pasting a URL from where your photo's address in Blogger will not work.You will continue to see the image because your browser has cached it.  Blogger will block anyone else from seeing it via any other source. 

Please upload your photos or host them where the host will allow you to display them on other domains.

Thank you,
-Caleb Mardini
