It's Blackberry time!

My mobile phone contract finally came up for renewal last weekend, leaving me eligible for a long-awaited upgrade - so now I am the very proud owner of a brand new Blackberry smartphone! The reason I'm telling you this is that it's going to change the way I respond to all the wonderful comments I receive on my blog, so please read on ...

Now that my email account is linked directly to the Blackberry, I'm going to receive instant notification of a comment no matter where I am.  (SO exciting LOL!!)

In future, I'm going to respond via the Blackberry, too - but I can only do this if your email address is included with your comment. So, if you would like me to reply personally to a comment (which I hope you will), please make sure that the Privacy Settings in your Blogger User Profile have the 'Show my email address' command box checked. That way, I can just hit 'reply' on my phone and get straight back to you!

My next post will be about quilling, I promise ...
