But it is only when the link to the individual post is selected do the comments remain open. It is the same on your blog, just checked ;)<br /><br /><b>For instance:</b> if you click on this web address, our main page, comments must be clicked to open. <a href="www.booksforwallsproject.org" rel="nofollow">www.booksforwallsproject.org</a><br /><br /><b>BUT</b> if you click on the web address specific to a post, for example, <a href="http://www.booksforwallsproject.org/2011/04/what-are-you-reading-right-now.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.booksforwallsproject.org/2011/04/what-are-you-reading-right-now.html</a> (our Challenge to share what you are reading right now!) the comments will be open and ready for a reader to start typing!<br /><br />As how many clicks to comment those changes can be made from your dashboard --Click on settings, then comments, and then edit settings to your liking!<br /><br />Hope this helps and good luck with writing!! Stop by and take a challenge sometime soon!

Let me count the ways.<br />I love thee to the depth and breadth and height<br />My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight<br />For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.<br />I love thee to the level of everyday's<br />Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.<br />I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;<br />I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.<br />I love thee with a passion put to use<br />In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.<br />I love thee with a love I seemed to lose<br />With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,<br />Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,<br />I shall but love thee better after death.<br /><br />by Elizabeth Barrett Browning of course!<br /><br />My, what to say, where to begin... first: how to thank ye originators of this project that so inspires on so many levels. Cheers & celebration to you all! <br /><br />My books are like old friends and parting with them is difficult. I have hand-me-down furniture, clothes that have been worn, recycled, torn, mended... but my books, so many of them I revisit every year... there are those for special occasions & re-reads; there are those; the passages of which I reflect on, remember and utilize when the moment is right... there are those that were my grandfather's that I cannot imagine letting go of. I do have an iPod but I always buy CD's. I do use email every single day (almost) but I make a point to send hand written letters and handmade cards regularly. I appreciate the innovation of technology and dabble in the realm of social marketing every weekday... but books, like handshakes and hugs and smooches on each cheek can never, ever, never go away completely. Not ever!!jenn ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10459804215282659291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-4261539850129829512010-04-29T14:02:45.177-04:002010-04-29T14:02:45.177-04:00Wow, can't wait to hear more.

There are bookshelves in every room, and books are part of the design scheme. <br />Cookbooks in the kitchen, Schoolbooks in the living room, storybooks in the bedroom, library books in the studio and a few mags in the bathroom...<br />We like to think of ourselves less as dinosaurs and more like literary dragons!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246889017006696160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-47541097212239426882010-04-29T11:49:32.513-04:002010-04-29T11:49:32.513-04:00“When I get a little money I buy books; and if any...“When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.”<br /><br />-Desiderius ErasmusPeter Berlinghofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-6881995225176172352010-04-29T08:29:06.733-04:002010-04-29T08:29:06.733-04:00Appreciation for the Mom’s passion about her love ...Appreciation for the Mom’s passion about her love of and the absolute need for books! History informs us if we care to listen. Here are some quotes through the years:<br /><br />A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. ~Chinese Proverb<br /><br />No man can be called friendless who has God and the companionship of good books. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning<br /><br />The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,<br />And all the sweet serenity of books.<br />~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />For whatever reason one reads, one learns and appreciates life more. As joylynbarret said, reading is like breathing. Let’s raise our glasses to our freedom of being able to read; for the kindness of the librarian, and to the very goodness of a good book!Kathy Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977671281474015264noreply@blogger.com
