 <title>If you&#039;re getting an error....</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/picture-wont-update#comment-57637</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The image won&#039;t upload if you&#039;re getting the error, so the magic won&#039;t work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please send the image to me at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:denise@blogher.com&quot;&gt;denise@blogher.com&lt;/a&gt; (along with your BlogHer name) and I&#039;ll see what I can do.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Hmm</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/picture-wont-update#comment-57613</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I have a different problem - it keeps telling me that my upload is not, in fact, an image file.  I&#039;ve explained to it patiently several times that YES IT IS AN IMAGE FILE but it won&#039;t listen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ll go try the &#039;magic&#039; and see if that works.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;When I look at your profile, I see an image.  I don&#039;t know if it is the old one or the new one.  Can you go to your profile here: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogher.com/haystackprofile/viewprofile/Honeybee.fun&quot; title=&quot;http://www.blogher.com/haystackprofile/viewprofile/Honeybee.fun&quot;&gt;http://www.blogher.com/haystackprofile/viewprofile/Honeybee.fun&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and if you don&#039;t see an image or the right image hold down the ctrl key (or the apple key) and while doing so click the reload/refresh button on your browser.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you still don&#039;t see the right image, send me the image at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:denise@blogher.com&quot;&gt;denise@blogher.com&lt;/a&gt; and I&#039;ll upload it for you.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Thank you</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/have-or-not-have-kids#comment-57437</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Artemisia,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many thanks for your reply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think it&#039;s a good idea to take my husband with me to the doc so that he can hear it for himself. Maybe that will make him realise how serious the situation is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the best,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nat &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Same Problem</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/picture-wont-update#comment-57413</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Ack!  Having similiar problem.  I cannot get my new profile pic to upload.  I erased old pic, and then I tried to upload new pic.  It&#039;s not too small, not too big... and I even tried to submit the new pic while holding the control key.  Any other suggestions? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Honeybee&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Just a few thoughts</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/have-or-not-have-kids#comment-57400</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Nat, I don&#039;t have an advice however I decide to say a few things. I am 39 y.o. woman with endometriosis stage 3 and I had my second surgery just 9 days ago. I was 27 when I had my first surgery (endo on my ovaries) and the surgeon told me that I must try to get pregnant immediately because in 1-2 years time it will probably not be possible (I wasn&#039;t married at that time so the advice was not useful). My point is that you are likely to have big difficulties with becoming pregnant indeed (because you of location of endo) and you need your husband to support your desire to have children. You may need some form of assisted fertilisation. I think you must make it very clear to your husband that you don&#039;t have the luxury of waiting. Perhaps it is a good idea to go to see your doctor together and discuss this issue. All the best, Artemisia&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>You must always try to reply</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/tip-comment-comment-and-comment-again#comment-56846</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi I&#039;ve just posted a similar forum discussion on Commenting and asking for links as a way of getting more readers, so Iwon&#039;t go into it here.  But...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do think it&#039;s important to acknowledge comments.  It builds a relationship with your readers and lets them know you are listening to them.  In fact sometimes the comments box ends up being just as much fun as the actual post (sometimes funnier).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you get so many comments that it&#039;s hard to acknowledge every one (lucky you!) then you can try this little gem that I&#039;ve done on my own blog: &amp;quot;The Comment of the Week&amp;quot; .  Every week I highlight the comment that made me laugh, spit or howl most that week and put it on my sidebar.  Folk LOVE it.  It&#039;s like winning a competition!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And it also shares a bit of link love, if you stick their URL on the quote, which is a karmically nice thing to do and will mean you get reincarnated as a lion instead of a bluebottle.  You can&#039;t say fairer than that! &lt;/p&gt;
