I'm please...TamsinP,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this.<br /><br />I'm pleased that they have finally acknowledged the problem ... but a week to sort it out? Seems rather a long time considering that it hasn't been working for nearly five days already!<br /><br />Oh well ... I suppose that beggars can't be choosers ...<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-32398519950485200482018-05-30T01:14:45.155+01:002018-05-30T01:14:45.155+01:00On the comment notification issue, I've just t...On the comment notification issue, I've just taken a look and someone from Google has replied:<br /><br />"Thea - Community Specialist said:<br />Hello Xxxx and Yyyy,<br /><br />Welcome to the Blogger Help Forum.<br /><br />We're currently tweaking our emailing system, but we expect it to be working again within the next week.

What I find frustrating is that just when you think you have got everything right, a small change in procedure or a program update can throw everything out of kilter.<br /><br />It is sort of reassuring to know that I'm not the only person who has had these sort of problems ... but wouldn't it be nice if the whole self-publishing process was just a bit simpler.<br /><br />I had suggested that it might be an idea to run a self-publishing workshop/discussion at COW so that we could exchange techniques and experiences. It might help others to avoid some of the pitfalls we have encountered.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-28075091631271214922018-05-29T21:44:43.374+01:002018-05-29T21:44:43.374+01:00Peter,

From a knowledge base of zero (or somewhere below,) it took me two and a half months of work and rework at about three or four hours a day to get a PDF, which met the specifications for the printer, ready for my first book.<br /><br />my second book was written by the end of March, proof read by the end of April and I then approached the prepping of the PDF for the printer. I had however learned exactly how not to do it with my first attempt and I completed the process, which had previously taken two and a half months, in two and a half hours! Start of May and much celebrating ensued.<br /><br />Then it wouldn't upload. It has continued to not upload despite repeated tinkerings and e-mails back and forth with the printer for the whole of May. I am now awaiting the printer's final 'pre flight checks' before I can order a proof copy to check. Ah well perhaps it'll be out in early June!<br /><br />Cheers<br />Andrew Rumblestriphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458538310473447360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-37260682163316005982018-05-29T16:23:20.322+01:002018-05-29T16:23:20.322+01:00My 'quick fix' for the current email notif...My 'quick fix' for the current email notification problem ... making a comment myself and asking Blogger to 'Notify me' of any other comments.Robert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
