This is a test. A truncating test. The whole post is gibberish, so don't respond. After I see how this works I will be removing this truncating-test-gibberish-post. There is talk of line breaks and little icons I never knew what they were, but I see it now, it's like a paper split in half. Gonna click on it right here.......
Ok so in this post box I see like a line of dots above this line. That's good, that's what the instructions said I'd see. But it says when I preview I won't see it, but when I publish I will. So I'm gonna publish, and see what it looks like when it comes to my email. Should be a truncated post.
And let me just say I'm confused. I mean I'm not confused, I get what I'm doing here and why, but FeedBurner RSS has a setting too. I did that one last week. So I don't know if that's gonna mess with the settings I'm doing here. Probably huh? Guess we will see when I hit publish. Bliss you are talking to yourself. I know. And in case anyone reads this post before I am able to delete it, yes the ducks have been on the porch this week. They learned they can jump up there. They ate all my flowers, and made a mud mess, not to mention they leave piles of poo everywhere. Very gross. I told my daughter to train them to stay off my damm porch or I'm gonna cook them.
(Not really though, I like them, they come running when they see me).
I'm totally confused but I read the whole post. Save the Ducks!!!
ReplyDeleteha. you better delete faster...I see this.
ReplyDeleteYou can't delete this post! First you want to cook the ducks and now you want to take away their 15 minutes of fame! lol
ReplyDeleteMy oh, my this sure is a confusing post, I wonder how the ducks are doing with this????
ReplyDeleteYou definitively need to delete faster...HA! Love the ducks!
ReplyDeleteHolly
LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love this.... ducks, confusion, gibberish and ALL!!!!!
<3
Don't you dare delete this post!!!! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile!! My husband is asking me "what's so funny?". He will get the duck part but only bloggers will get the rest!!! ;)

SAVE THE DUCKS!!!!!!

LOL - cook the ducks! :0) We used to have ducks and I thought they were so cute when we got them as little bitty ducklings...until they starting dropping landmines right outside the door. Now, my vote is to cook all ducks.
ReplyDeleteAngie
understanding the test....blogs telling lots of stuff that is not good...but have to say your ducks are toooo darn cute.....
ReplyDeleteLove it! Looks like the trunacting is working! CJ
ReplyDeleteI am no blogger, so I have noooo idea what you're on about (didn't stop me from reading it though - quite entertaining). But I DO relate to the duck poo thing. We've got ducks. You're right. They're cute. But man, do they poo!! Ours lay eggs, with is good. Except not in the duck house we have for them. Noooo. It's like easter every second day at our house, hunting for eggs!
ReplyDeleteWell, you are ahead of me in figuring out how to do this. You go girl.
ReplyDeleteHa, the ducks made me laugh. We have Canada (not Canadian) geese because of the lake out back. One day I counted over 130 geese in my yard, then I lost count as I was shooing them back to the lake and tip toeing over their droppings. So I know how ya feel. I need to do that truncating thing , too!
ReplyDeletePlease don't hurt the ducks. They are so darn cute. Can't you build them their own little yard with their own little garden in your spare time? I think that would make them happy and it would keep them off your porch. It would be a win win (especially for them).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have to figure out how to do this, too. I'd ask ya', but I'm on Wordpress. Cook one duck, save the other.
ReplyDeleteOh, all the things we should do as bloggers...maybe I'll take a look at my settings too. Just to be a follower of the Blog Goddesses. Don't cook the ducks - doesn't seem sporting to cook them after they run to you :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what this post is about, but SAVE THE DUCKS!! lol.

Duck poo. Yuk! Good luck with the truncation. Talking to yourself is very healthy. It keeps one sane.
ReplyDeleteYep, I see it too! I listen to myself far better than anyone else listens when I talk, so I say talk on! I find my comments (when I'm talking to myself) quite entertaining and far cheaper than therapy!! As for the ducks, hmmm. Do they make duck diapers? Wonder if those shock mats I use to train pets to STAY OFF OF THE TABLE! would work?? Sounds awful, I know, but it is only a mild shock, might work. On the other hand, it might scare the crap out of them. Oh, yeah, that happens anyway, right?! Good luck, love your blog.
ReplyDeleteThat is actually a good idea, might train them. Running after them waving my hands just makes them laugh at me.
DeleteBliss
Ha! A uniquely new work-out - chasing laughing geese! The shock mat works wonders for me, who knows it might work for the geese, too. Anything to help keep their ummm, offerings where they belong.
ReplyDeleteLOL. 'nuff said. :)
ReplyDeleteBut the ducks are so cute ... please don't "truncate them" and serve them up as Sunday dinner ...
ReplyDelete:)
I was just thinking, I wonder how Deer and Ducks get along...me I have Deer come up and eat my plants off the back and front deck and porch....they eat the dogs left over food, and since we keep a big trough for our dog,and sons dogs when they visit, they come and get drinks...when late and working on a project in my back sun work room, I hear then messing with the water .....so do deer and ducks get along...now that would be a crazy pic......we need to each take pics...some day...and send them back and forth.....could be a hoot...have a good Labor Day.
ReplyDelete1. put diapers on the ducks.
ReplyDelete2. I am probably not going to truncate unless I see my stuff all over the webiverse. I wrote a post about it which will go up tomorrow. (Having to do posts ahead of time now. Not liking it.)
It worked Bliss... I did the same. Now you need to truncate your RSS feed so it is that way in the google reader... who knew? Here's how: www.theshabbycreekcottage.com/2012/08/how-to-truncate-your-rss-feed-on-blogger.html That way people that read your post in a reader (like I do) will have to click to get to your blog.... just saying :)

You said not to respond, so I didn't ( I like to do as I am told !).
ReplyDeleteAs the test truncation has not been obliterated I'm back to er say - well done, it worked !!
And we know you love those pooping ducks !
Oh, don't delete it. This is a truly great post. And look at all the responses you are getting.
ReplyDeleteBahahaha! I am so loving this post AND the comments. Talk on, crazy duck lady! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Just not sure how I feel about being a crazy duck lady, but it's funny!
DeleteBliss
Been thinking of doing this, but don't know how. did you just use a blogspot tutorial?
ReplyDeleteHey, you should keep this up! Apparently, we are all quite happy to hear you babel :)))
ReplyDeleteYou truncater you! And you put the ducks to work for you :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day rock star :)
