Today, I’m thrilled and honoured to guest post at Hugh Robert’s wonderful blog, Hugh’s News & Views, on the challenges of balancing blogging, writing a book and the curve balls of life. And the fascinating coincidences bloggers regularly discover through online friendships, though ocean’s apart. Thank you, dear friends! ❤

Thanks so much as always for your lovely comment, Deb, heading over to Hugh’s after this 🙂 Thanks too for the head’s up about the twitter button, just read Hugh’s comment and noticed he said he got it to work, so I have no idea what’s going on. I didn’t know there’s been a problem with the button, do you know what’s causing it? ❤ xxx

No Sher, I don’t. I only know the button has disappeared on many WP blogs on WordPress .com, not self hosted sites. I will have to see what Hugh said so I can alert others. People probably have to go into their dashboards into ‘sharing’ settings and update. ❤ xxx

Hi again Deb, back now lol. Well this is weird, I can still see my Twitter button as can Hugh and Norah from their comments. I checked my settings under sharing and it’s all good as before, everything there and set up for Twitter, but I have noticed some other buttons are missing so am going to look into that… ❤ xxx

Me again, Deb! I’ve double checked all my sharing buttons, let me know if you can see them and Twitter now…and I finally sorted out my connection problem with my LinkedIn account, which I haven’t visited for so long I forgot I had it lol!:D ❤ xoxo

Ok Sher, I see all your buttons well except the Twitter button is gone and what shows to me instead is the word ‘tweet’ in its place. That’s what I’m seeing on half the blogs I read, so wow, it’s my end, how weird is that LOL. You crack me up! 🙂 ❤ xxx

That is so weird, Deb, but I suppose a ‘tweet’ is better than nothing lol! Thanks again for letting me know! 🙂 ❤ xxx

Ya, but when I click it, the tweet is generic – no a tag with your name, and no subject content in the tweet 😦

Hi Sherri, thanks so much for being my guest over on my blog this week. I was thrilled you accepted my invitation to write a post. The subjects you chose were perfect.
I saw Debby’s comment about your Twitter button. I had a go, and it worked for me. Maybe it’s since been fixed?

Hi Hugh, I’m so glad you enjoyed the post, thank you again so much for inviting me, I’m thrilled for the wonderful opportunity to guest post at your blog! 🙂 As for the Twitter button, I have no idea what the problem might be, although glad it worked for you. I need to take a look and check some things out…as with Deb, thanks for the head’s up! 🙂 xxx

You’re welcome, Sherri. It was kind of Debby to mention it to you. Sometimes, buttons don’t work for me, but when I go back the next day, they work. I guess that’s technology for you 😀

Thanks, Hugh. Yes, it was very kind of Deb and you too. I would have had no idea otherwise. I just shared this post to my FB author page but took about three times to go through for some reason. Ha, modern technology…great when it works, but when it doesn’t…well, we all know about that! 😀

I know a lot of bloggers have had problems publishing their blog posts on Facebook, Sherri. It seems the social media platform doesn’t like it anymore. Some have left, while others are still scratching their heads as to why Facebook would say that the blog post is not within the terms and conditions of use. It all started happening just before the summer. I deleted my Facebook account two years ago, but I know Debby knows more about it.

Yes, I saw a lot of my blogging friends left FB or rarely use it now because they could no longer share their posts, but I’ve not had that problem. I never share any WP posts on my personal FB, only on my public FB author page which is set up linked to my blog as a ‘business’ page, so that’s probably why. But who knows? My problems seem to be more to do with strange glitches, such as saying I can only use ‘American English’ as it won’t work with ‘UK English.’ Bizarre!!!!!

This is a lovely post, Sherri. Thank you for so kindly mentioning me. I didn’t realise Debbie was a fellow Australian. I have met her only recently so it was exciting to be mentioned alongside her in your post. I wish you success with your book. I told you we’d still be here waiting for you. And we are! SMAG. ❤
