Thank you—Inconclusive Conclusions

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME YESTERDAY TO TELL ME WHAT THEY SEE AND DON’T SEE IN THE EMAIL BLOG NOTIFICATIONS!!

Please excuse me for shouting. I am so touched by your responses and willingness to help.

In my attempt to see a pattern about who can and who cannot see photos in the email notifications, I learned this:

  1. Mac laptop – some can see the photos, some cannot
  2. Mac desktop – some can, some can’t
  3. iPhone – some can, some can’t
  4. iPad – some can, some can’t
  5. Android phone – all can see the photos
  6. Non-Mac desktop – all can see the photos

There must be some settings that we don’t understand on our iPhones, MacBooks, Mac desktops, and iPads. Now I might have to dig around on settings for Mac mail on every device they manufacture.

This hurts my apple-shaped heart. At least I know it isn’t a problem with my blog (using WordPress.org) or the subscription form.

One more thing: I sent out the blog post and left for the day. All your wonderful comments arrived, but I wasn’t at my computer to approve them. So, if you commented and wondered if it “went through”, it did, and once I approved it, it appeared.

You deserve a beautiful picture as a thank you for making it to the end of this post. (I hope you get to see it!)

Sequoias in Winter, 16×20″, oil on wrapped canvas

(I didn’t put the price because I don’t want you to think I am thanking you by trying to sell you something.)

  1. This snow scene in the redwoods is definitely worth answering your questions. This is one of your best in my book. I just learned about Titanium White in watercolor and I’m in love. I tried it on a so-so forest stream scene I had set aside and – voila – it became my first snow scene and probably the first painting I truly like. Anyway, love this rich redwood scene. Merry Christmas! Donna

    • Aw shucks, thank you Donna! I had no idea that white was a paint option in watercolor; I thought you had to reserve paper color (as we do in pencil) and if something accidentally flowed across it, then you had to change your plans. So Titanium White must serve as White-out. (Remember that? I loved the smell. . . )

  2. I can see the beautiful painting of the beautiful sequoias in the snow!
    Now if only we could get some snow on our real ones and a little rain down here in the foothills.
    🙂

    • Amen! Rain, snow, soon, please!

  3. Hey, guess what! I could not see the image on my iPhone, but can see the image here on my PC desktop. As usual. And those with iPhones, I’d bet the farm that they cannot see the image if they are viewing your blog entry as an email. But I don’t mind wandering over to the PC to see the images. They are always worth the effort!

    Love the painting, by the way. And that snow-covered baby tree on the left–very high on the CF*.

    • Sharon, those iPhones are tricky. I haven’t asked each iPhone owner what version, but am sure that has some bearing on the problem.

      Thank you for the nice words about the painting.
