I like "Gently Said" as a blog title. It's interesting that an apt title for your blog can just come to your mind as the screen prompts you to enter a title. And it is funny, the 'rules' of blogging that one reads about. "Never, ever ....". "The 5 things every blogger should do ...".<br /><br />:)jonhttp://brain-and-mind.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536383360370947414.post-68570257384155783382011-10-20T02:02:04.133-05:002011-10-20T02:02:04.133-05:00I think we approach our stage the same way, Jerry....I think we approach our stage the same way, Jerry.

I think the background is inconsequential. I've seen blog backgrounds that don't really reflect the content at all. I change mine around for the season, like redecorating the house. But, regardless of the background, I enjoy the peacefulness of your writing.Mistyhttp://madskills-downhome-misty.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536383360370947414.post-42058606187046514782011-10-16T05:29:01.854-05:002011-10-16T05:29:01.854-05:00Love the Mel Torme reference.

The freedom with which you write is refreshing and fun and I have loved it from the first time I read it and onward. I would even go so far as to call it a blessing because you make me laugh every time I read a new post! And to top that off you even come and visit and leave such nice "footprints" that you are even more of a blessing! So thank you - it may be just a whim for you (which I am glad you enjoy), but it really is a blessing to me. :)adrielleroyalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330513833416071176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536383360370947414.post-64559877834892121202011-10-15T17:43:57.216-05:002011-10-15T17:43:57.216-05:00I never your blog looked bland, but I do like the ...I never your blog looked bland, but I do like the background. To me, one of the beautiful things about a blog is that the owner of the blog has TOTAL control over what they present and the manner in which they present it. I think the way your blog looks now and the way it looked before go right along with your style. I also agree with you about the title, it's one of the better ones that I've seen.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536383360370947414.post-91488133999763366452011-10-15T14:47:59.988-05:002011-10-15T14:47:59.988-05:00I understand that presentation is important.

I see it in various media, and often recognize the importance and impact of presentation.<br /><br />I, myself, prefer the content to the presentation. I tend to be a minimalist, but I recognize that were the world populated my many like myself it would be a dull world. The fluff makers do lend some interest to things.<br /><br />Since this is your blog, do it your way. How often do you actually get to do that? It is a pleasant place to visit. Thank you for making me feel welcome.Michael Lockridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748256055779697021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536383360370947414.post-17959335078513084982011-10-15T12:18:28.372-05:002011-10-15T12:18:28.372-05:00Gigi is right, and so are you.
