My Google Reader Disappeared Today!

(source)

Well, the quick link to it anyways.  Usually when I'm on my Dashboard I'll have that "View .." oh shoot, I don't exact remember the term (it's that elephant memory again)!  Basically the link to go to the Google Reader so I may read the posts of those I follow. 

I didn't panic too much because there's been so much craziness with Google Reader so the feeling wasn't a shocker.  The split second I did panic was to wonder what to do next.  I Googled and found another way to get to the my GR ..you have to go to another address bar and type in, google.reader.com oops, that's reader.google.com.  Viola!  It was there!

Now my dilemma is which other Reader to switch to because GR will really disappear in July.  I've been hearing mainly a couple ..Bloglovin and Feedly.  I've heard both have easy transfer system but curious about the pros and cons to them.  And is there anything out there that has the widget like Google Friend Connect?  Just wondering if you might share your experiences. 

Thank you.

Yay, I Can Reply Now!

I just found out that my REPLY button on the comment section works for me now!  I've been having problems with it since August of last year when I enabled the comment/reply thread.  For some reason the reply button wouldn't go anywhere.  Anyway, I'm jazzed that it's functioning correctly now.  I don't know what sparked it to operate.  The only thing I can think of that I changed in my settings was clicking on "Registered Users" when asked who can comment (because I had been getting tons of spam comments and a blogger suggested to do that ..worked by-the-way).  I did that at least a couple months ago.  If that was it, shoot I could have replied way back then! 

Oh, the joys of Blogger!!  Now the upcoming of end of Google Reader is another to hurdle.  Any suggestions there?

Help: Having "Reply" Problems

(source)

I went HERE and finally change into the comment thread system so that I would be able to reply to comments individually.  Well, there is now a "reply" section to all the comments left on my posts however IT doesn't work for me.  I click on "reply" so that I could reply to a comment someone left on my post but then nothing!  I tried it logged on and off my blog and still nothing.  I also tried to "reply" to another blog's and nothing there either.  Oh please, someone help me figure out how I can reply to comments.  I tried Google and I couldn't find anything helpful.

I'd be so ever grateful for any help to solve this dilemma.

Thank you in advance.

Kindle Fire Questions

(source)

Oh, reality is settin' in!  I just experienced my first stumbling block ...

A couple of authors emailed me an attachment of their books in prc format and I'm having trouble downloading them into my Kindle Fire.  I tapped the attachment to download but when I went to look for it, it said that it can't read it.  It didn't go to the Kindle "Doc" file either.  I take it I need an App to that can convert the prc to Kindle or am I doing something wrong?  Oh get this, my Kindle didn't come with a usb cable so I can't even do it through the computer.

I've been Googling for help but still lost.  I tried the rebooting thing by shutting off the Kindle and no luck.  I looked for the Mobi..something or other app but there wasn't one on the Kindle.  I happened on KindleGen but it looks like that's for publishers.  I couldn't find anything on YouTube ..maybe I'm not plugging in the appropriate key words?  The authors said they're in Kindle edition so I don't know why my Kindle isn't recognizing them. Oh, I think I'm going to cry!  I'm hoping someone reading this might be able to help and have answer for me.  I'd sure appreciate it.  --Thank you, thank you in advance.

By the way, be sure to come back here on Friday for your chance to win a Kindle Fire + $50 Amazon gc.  As you may know, I've teamed up with several other bloggers for this giveaway.  Even though I'm having trouble with my Kindle Fire, it's not the system, it's me not knowing how to navigate it and such.  I'm having fun buying ebooks for it and reading from it and all the other web browsing extras.  Overall, I love it!!!
