I love blogging now and I love reading others' blogs also. It is so fun to see what everyone is up to, but I have to say, it isn't always fun or easy to keep up or write comments. I use Google reader and it shows me which blogs have been updated, but those who don't use blogger, blogspot or type pad, I can't get an update on. Same goes for those who have a private blog. Don't get me wrong, I love you anyways, but I may not get around to reading your blog as often as I do others.
Another little annoyance...having to type in the word verification to leave a comment, which is on almost every blog. I can't tell you how many times I have gotten it wrong and have to sit there and figure out the new set of distorted letters. My last peeve? I can't get a cute blog background to work for the life of me! I am always checking out others' backgrounds and layouts and I am envious. I tried once to change it with Matie Kay, but it deleted all my widgets (everything on the left side of the screen) and I ended up spending hours putting it back together. So, my solution is to just stick with the blogger generic dots background. Boring, I know! If anyone knows how to change it (I will need the version for computer idiots) please let me know and I will be happy to change things up on this blog!
P.S. I changed my blog title to make it a bit more appropriate for our fam!

10 Quick Thoughts:
i hear u on the word verification! i hate that!!!!
and i love the new name, im updating it on my blog.... not to mention i need to put up my post on little brooklyn!! ( i always post about the new additions to the brady bunch of buddies!) look for it tomrorow cuz it will be there!!!
I agree with the word verifications, and If you have ever had to help an elderly person on the computer and they have to verify the word- forget about it. I went to cutestblogontheblock.blogger.com I hope that is it... and it gives step by step directions on how to change the background, I am pretty blog retarded and I was able to follow their step by step directions
Good Luck
I can help you with getting a cool new layout but you must be forewarned that any time you use something other than Blogger, you are forced to re-enter your widgets (from my experience). If anyone knows how to save the widgets, I'd also like to know.
I'm glad Brooklyn's not a "half" Trotter anymore. I was wondering when you'd change that. :) The website Katie was telling you about is actually http://www.cutestblogontheblock.blogspot.com/ Hopefully it won't change your settings or widgits or whatever they're called.. if you change a background. Sarah and Austin are really good with blog stuff so you could probably ask them if you want. I have another blog peeve to add to your list...I hate the ones that say "Comments on this blog are restricted to team members".
ok so i used cutest blog on the block thing and it worked... piece of cake!! thanks to katie for posting about it!!!
Oooooooo.... I love the new look! Weird question: do you have to do the word verification on my blog? I have no idea.
I hate this too... Amen sister!
yeah, word verification sucks. i almost don't comment on those who have it!
new pics of the girlie please!!!!
I LOVE the new blog name. And I totally hear you on the difficulty of finding cute new blog templates- but I love the one you picked!
Word verification does suck, but I've been thinking of adding it, because I've gotten some random weird comments. One was in another language! Weirdness.
