It’s been a great holiday season for all of us here at Banished to the Pen! Our Secret Santa exchange resulted in only minor injuries that, at worst, will leave a few staffers day-to-day. And the Party Planning Committee’s appeal of their suspension has a very good chance of being reduced!

So as this time of giving comes to a close, here’s some kind words you gave to us (although, again, it often involved trying to sell us things…).

“Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!” – P

Our crack tech staff is on it! We’ve also gotten reports of overlapping among users who have tried Chrome, and the browser made by Google.

“No matter if some one searches for his necessary thing, so he/she wants to be available that in detail, therefore that thing is maintained over here.” – H.G.C.T.

Well, I can see how that would– huh?

“I think that what you typed made a bunch of sense. However, think on this, suppose you typed a catchier post title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a headline that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Kendrys Morales Signs with Royals, Finds Himself One Year, $13 million, and 15 lbs Lighter than Billy Butler is kinda boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news headlines to grab viewers to open the links.” – F

Matt Jackson, the writer of the headline in question, had this to say in response: “Is that you, mom? I sent you that link like a week ago…”

“What number of us are hesitant to head to an ATM, especially through the night? I do so because I desire to encourage you to definitely read my work (and, frankly, to make new friends).” – M.P.A.

As bloggers, we have no worries of getting robbed at an ATM at night. But the more you can withdraw from an ATM, the more friends you make, am I right?

“This cooked potato soup is without a doubt a tremendous dish.It requires a bit of time because you’ll be able to bake a whole bunch potatoes first then make the soups, but it’s worth the cost.Serve the unit with plates of cheese so they can chives, or even sour cream or cash, just when you would that features a baked potato.” – C.H.O.

We’ll take the cash.

“What really can ruin a relationship is uncontrolled pms.” – B

And on that note, here’s to a great 2015!

As always: keep changing those eye levels!
