Sorry this reply is so late. Thank you for visiting my blog. I may, at times, be one of those naïve people. I’m not tech savvy so I try to keep my antennae up.

You’re welcome. Wish I had more time to read more posts, write my own blogs, work on my WIP, and respond to others. So much helpful information out there. Thanks for reading/visiting.

I read the article and found it useful, although for some reason I couldn’t seem to leave a comment on it. The advice to “do your homework” is key, I think. There are a lot of nasty tricksters out there.

Thanks for responding. I don’t know why sometimes a site will allow us to leave comments, other times not, unless the criteria is whether or not you are following the person to whom you are responding. Happens to me sometimes, too.
