Trying to Figure Out Why

I may have a blogging problem. 

Wednesday and today, I have had problems on my blog.  My Wednesday post (which I am not linking to here) posted but the title of the post is not a live link i.e. if I was to send you a link it does not link to the individual blog post.  Also, you can not comment on it.  I can't, and at least two of my readers weren't able to.

So I am trying again today with this test post, although I am going to try without the picture in the blog post, just in case that photo was part of the problem.  My Wednesday post was about a bird's nest on my front porch light.  

Over the years, our front porch light has attracted various birds, who have built nests.  When we first purchased our house, house finches nested there successfully several times.

But more recently, the nests have failed.  Or they were decoys, which some birds do build.

A couple of years ago a Carolina wren built a decoy nest on the light fixture.   

This year (above), it was the turn of an Eastern phoebe.  We saw the bird a number of times.  Perhaps this was a decoy nest, too - Eastern phoebes, many times, will build multiple nests but only use one of them.

Our porch light nest was never used. 

We've had American robins successfully nest on our back porch, but not this year.

Maybe next year, we will get the approval of birds for a true nest.

So, let's see if this post goes through.  If it doesn't, I'd sure like to know a possible solution that is simple for a non-tech person like me to implement.

I'd appreciate comments, if only to let me know that you were able to comment.  If you can't comment, could you comment on my Monday music post and tell me you couldn't comment on today's post?  I thank you for your time.

Thank you!
