    Playing games comes from childhood.
    As children we would play to process our surroundings and relationship.
    It makes sense it would be similar as adults as a way to integrate experience.

      It’s been a long game. Very, very long. 😂

        Oh Dear. Well, then perchance it is a Goddess thing. Their time doesn’t translate with ours how we’d like and the game is the reward.

          It may be that. [shrug] It’s been so long that I’m half-convinced it is me playing a game with me.

          Time [may/will] tell.

              That figures. 🙃

    Hi Michael Why have you changed the format so that we cannot read and like the poem in the email? Jay

      Simple: I haven’t.

      There have been no changes on my end for a week to ten days with respect to commenting. I did stop using a non-WordPress plugin for commenting around that time when I got Jetpack to behave as expected. It seemed to integrate with Reader and WordPress.com as expected afterwards.

      WordPress/Jetpack was wonky earlier today on Android/iOS. And, they did update their plugin a few days ago… I suspect they did something on the backend that hosed everything if this just started happening. WP developers have been breaking things more often than not the past couple of years. The testing and QC on their end seems lacking.

      I’m sorry that is happening. I wish I could resolve it. I’ll check my settings to be sure, but I haven’t changed anything on my end aside from pushing through their official update.

      I’m sorry, I can’t see any settings that allow me control over that detail.

      When I send myself a test email newsletter, there is no option to like the post within the email. I never used that feature myself, so I was not aware it is was possible.

      However, it looks like they removed it in the latest plugin update for sites not hosted by wordpress.com (a test email at sceadugenga has exactly what you are talking about, but the one from ravensweald does not).

      Many apologies. I wish there was matching parity in the experience instead of this odd partial mix between what is offered when WP.com hosts a site and I have another service host it.
