Six Random Facts About Me Meme

 

Behind the Scenes at Chrysalis−Embarassing Bloggy Bloopers

What does e-Mom Blogger have in common with Beth Moore, other than a lot of e’s, o’s, M’s, and B’s? 

We’re both Moms, we’re both human, and we both make mistakes!

The lovely Jana at Later I’m Blogging, tagged me for this meme. I’ve decided to take this opportunity to air my blogging dirty laundry.

Would you laugh with me? Maybe you’ve done a few of these dumb things too.

1.     This week, I blogged about grandparents during the holidays. I mentioned Vicki’s grand daughter Lexie (Windows to My Soul) and stated she was three. Suddenly Vicki appeared in the Chrysalis comment box and gently corrected me. This new believer is actually five. Oiy! 

2.     A few days ago, I left a comment at The Next Step thanking Tammy for linking up with Marriage Monday. As I hit “publish,” suddenly I remembered she spells her name Tami. Whoops, my bad. 

3.     Laura Christianson is the author of two adoption books. In my recent interview, I posted a cool photo show about her family, but I couldn’t figure out how to turn off the embedded music. Every time a reader uploaded my blog, they were assaulted by a crazy upbeat tune that played over and over. Unfortunately, I had to send two very disgruntled commentors to the trash. Ouch! 

4.     A few months ago, I quoted a very serious article about the Emerging Movement by Scott Mcnight. Robin at PENSIEVE quietly pointed out that his name is actually spelled Scot McNight. (Who would notice?) 

Edit: A little clarification is in order. Robin probably never knew she had helped me out. In her comment on that Scot McKnight post, she had correctly spelled his name with one “t” and duh, I noticed! I thought she was so subtle… Thanks, my friend! 

5.     Last year, when I was still using comment moderation, I immediately responded by e-mail to some warm thoughts left by Iris at Laced With Grace. She later returned to Chrysalis and kindly remarked that she couldn’t find her comment anywhere. In my enthusiasm, I’d forgotten to publish it. (Visitors do remember.) 

6.     I don’t know how many times I’ve written a lengthy “intelligent” comment on a meaty post only have it eaten by the bloggy monsters before I’ve had a chance to hit publish. By then I’m all out of energy, and must simply type “Thanks for sharing” before I slink away. Sigh. 

How about you? Have you made any whopping bloggy bloopers? 

With love,

e-Mom 

P.S. If you’re new here, please visit me at my primary blog, Chrysalis. See you over there!

P.P.S. I’m going to tag the five bloggers named above: Vicki, Tami, Laura, Robin, and Iris to play along. But ladies, only if you have the time.
