1. Who wants to have to log in to leave a comment on a blog post? I know it seems annoying but trust me it’s actually easier to comment with this new application! Just click log in.
It will take you to this screen. You do NOT actually need to set up a WordPress account. You do NOT need a username and password.
You can use any of the four – Facebook, Twitter, Google or WordPress – accounts to leave a comment. If you are like me, you are probably logged into at least two of these accounts while on the computer. All you have to do is allow the application access to your basic information.
I hope this makes logging in less annoying!
2. With that said, I’m going to piggyback on Erin’s Roll Call! post and challenge you to log in (once you log in, you don’t have to do it again) and leave a comment introducing yourself (new & long-time readers both) and share your blog address and/or Twitter account if you have one. If you don’t have one, tell us where you are visiting from. As I said yesterday, blogging is all about sharing your story and connecting with people. It’s pretty powerful really.
So, let’s get connected and make sure to check out each others blogs/Twitter accounts too! While you’re commenting if there is a post/question/topic request, request away!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hello Nina…you were one of my very first blogs when I first discovered blogging!! I moved from Southern California to Minneapolis and then back to my Hoosier roots in 2008. During that year, while planning my wedding your blog inspired me with ideas and lead me to many other of my now fav blogs (House of Rose; Blue Eyed Bride, Dirty Martini, Mojito Maven, etc!).
I have enjoyed following your journey these past few years and cannot tell you how many gift ideas and products you have passed along that I love! You have even responded to me on restaurants in the Windy City!!
Look forward to seeing your precious Jack grow and continuing to get inspired with great ideas.
P.S. Your “fav” blog post has added to my blog reading too..ha ha!!
Hi Nina!
I’m a fairly new reader and I found your blog through Erin.
