River wants to hear from YOU!

The main reason I decided to put this blog together was to provide family and friends with an easy, up-to-date way of "checking in" on River. A way to see how's she has been developing, learning and growing. With loved ones scattered all over the states and everyones life being so hectic, it seemed like the perfect way to kinda "leave the door open" and have everyone drop by whenever it was convenient for them. So far, it seems to be working like a charm. It didn't take very long for me to realize that this running record of River's early days might actually be important to River herself someday. One part in particular; the comments section. I think she may enjoy hearing what you've got to say and now you can say it and it will be recorded for later when she can actually understand it.

I know that some of you have had difficulty in leaving comments in the past. I think this is probably because of the security measures and various other hoops you may have had to jump through (signing up for a Google account??). So far, I've had no issues with strange pervs leaving inappropriate messages so I've decided to make it as easy as possible to leave a comment.
.
Here's what you do if you happen to feel so inclined:
.
1) Find the "Comments" link at the bottom of the particular post you wish to comment on.
.
2) Click it.
.
3) Type your message in the box provided in the pop-up screen. Be sure to leave your name at the end of the comment as if you were typing a letter.
.
4) Select "Anonymous" when asked to select your identity. This will keep you from having to sign up for a Google account or enter a password, etc.
.
5) Either preview your message and then publish it or just publish it.
.
That's it. That's all.
.
If you come across an older post and want to comment on it - go ahead. Just because the post isn't current doesn't mean your comment will be missed. I am sent an email from the blog every time someone comments on a post no matter how old the post may be.
.
Now I've made it easy so there is no excuse. That's right. . I'm talking to you Aunt Bonnie in Florida. I know you read this. . as well as Jo's Aunt Kim in Eastern KY. . and it goes double for you Becky! My Mom tells me you read this blog all the time.
.
In fact, I'm on to all of you. . here's what I'm gonna do. All habitual non-comment offenders may receive a special delivery of this:

That's right folks. That there is genuine River dooky. . and I've got plenty of it. Don't make me send you a stinky package! Becky, you live close enough for me to hand deliver it. . to your front porch. . in a flaming bag. .

Now get typing.

Love you all.
