Q&A Area

Welcome to the Blogs By Heather Q&A Area!

I receive a lot of email from followers, friends, new customers and think they are all great. So why not share them with everyone else?  

I remember my teachers always prompting us to ask questions in class for there was a big chance that someone else also had the same question and may have been afraid to ask. So with that concept in mind, I want you to post your questions here and in doing so I will post the answers to my blog to share with others as well!

So..ask away!
I look forward to your questions and
working with you in building and managing your blog!

You may also continue to email me your questions and I will post them here as well. Email me at Heather@BlogsByHeather.com.

Heather,

One of your posts from last year talked about the paypal option for digital goods -- and you referred to it being able to be used for PDFs -- I can't really see how it can be applied in that fashion. Do you have any additional information?

Hi Heather

I would like to know ho do you change the word 'comment' to something else in the new blogger?

[Adriana Benitez]

Hi Heather, I am considering changing blogging platforms. Will i lose my subscribers?

[Denise Hummel, Photographer]

Hi! In the comment link of a typepad blog, I would like to change the word 'comment' to 'testimonies'. Is that something you can do?

[april]

I know you must think I am crazy, but I have typepad. Instead of linking the whole http in your post I want the word that I choose to go to that specific site or page in my blog? Thanks so much for your assistance.

[Heather Wright-Porto]

Hi Sherman!
Can you be mores specific? What in TypePad do you want to bring into a FB page (using iFrames)?

Heather :D

Have you tried using typepad in an iframe with facebook? Wordpress seems to have this nailed down, but we use typepad.

Thank you, Heather, for getting back to me. I think I'm going to have to wait for you to write your post because I've done everything in the link you provided AND I've even entered in my Typekit ID in the Add-on's. Where I think I'm having the problem is with the "Selectors." I guess I'm a bit computer-illiterate when it comes to those. Patiently waiting...Angie

[Heather Wright-Porto]

Hi Angie :D
I have helped a customer with TypeKit but haven't posted anything on my blog about it yet - great topic to be posted. I will definitely write up something soon :D

However, in the meantime..here is how you can use TypeKit with Typepad:
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/6848-using-typekit-with-typepad

However, also remember you have to enter your typekit ID in Typepad under Settings, Add-Ons, and you'll see a space for Typekit ID there - you have to enter that.

Let me know if you get stuck :D

(Oops! Sent you an email before I saw the "questions" button, sorry, it's late and I'm exhausted.)

Here's what I sent:

Hi Heather!

As luck would have it, I found you and your awesomesauce of a site. I learned so much from you in a short amount of time on ways to improve the look and feel of my blog. However, it is really late here (11:53pm to be exact) and I can no longer look through your blog. So, could you tell me if you have any information about Typekit and how to implement it in my Typepad blog? I thought I followed the directions, but it's not working. I think I missed something or it's more than likely that I don't know what I'm doing. :) Any help or a blog post on your end about Typekits would be fantabulous!

Thank you SO much for your time and consideration.

Looking forward to hearing from you...

[Joan Hajek]

I forget how to change the blog buttons so they go to my site instead of SU.

[Maxine]

I have tried 3 different ways of installing a custom header for my blogger account. I see it appear in the box, but after I save it and click on "View Blog" it doesn't show up. Any suggestions?

[WeimerMom]

Hi Heather, I have one simple question. How did you type the copyright symbol in the watermark tutorial? Thank you! I'm anxious to hear from you.

[fernanda]
