We have at least three evening grosbeaks at our feeder today. They are eating the black oil sunflower seeds.

Evening Grosbeak - A "Common Bird in Decline"
Last week, I saw seven Evening Grosbeaks at my feeders, which is the largest group I've seen at my upstate NY feeders in 16 years of feeding. In all those years, if I saw 3-4 birds, it was significant. Two more visited our feeders today. Wanda, a Wild Birds Unlimited customer, recently sent...

Ok, today I logged into Typepad, intending to post to my blog Pentimento, but for the life of me I couldn't find the 'compose' area? Did someone steal it? :-)

I am one of the people who was asking, er, begging for this new WYSIWYG compose screen since almost the time I began on Typepad. Thank you for listening to our suggestions and putting them into action. No one will ever be 100% satisfied with what gets done, but I think, over time, we will learn to use the new screen.

An Upgrade to TypePad's Compose Screen
When Chris Alden, our CEO, asked for feedback last January about the improvements you wanted to see, many of you sent in fantastic suggestions for how we could improve TypePad's Compose page. We listened to your suggestions, added functionality from your top requests, and we're excited to annou...
New themes are always nice, they keep the blogs looking fresh and trendy. But I would also hope that there are plans to make posting a little easier too. My suggestion sent in was to enable us to center text and photos in a post. It shouldn't be that difficult to make that happen. I hope someone has that in the future plans. Keep up the good work you guys!

Results of the Design Poll
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, our design team is working on bringing over some themes from Vox into Typepad. We asked for your help to determine which themes to add first, and hundreds of you voted in the poll we posted! The suggestions you left in the comments were also really helpful and ...
1. The ability to center items in a post.
2. Smilies, or something of the sort.
3. Make the templates more AdSense compatible.
Those are just three... #1 would be my first choice though. Please consider it!

Follow Up to "A Bright New TypePad"
Hello everyone, It's been fantastic hearing from you in the comments to my last post and in the emails directly to me — I've heard from hundreds of you in the past 24 hours. I'm thrilled at the level of passion and engagement from those of you who have written in so far. Your thoughts and conce...
I do make eye contact also and if they have a name tag, I try to call them by their name. After working in a "Ritzy" hotel a few years ago, it was nice to be called by my name. I felt like I was less of a robot, and that they saw me as a real person.
My husband and I always try to do business locally in our town, or at least the county. We have found good and bad in small businesses, but the majority are willing to go the extra mile or more.
I value service people who are polite and attentive and reward that, sometimes generously, when it is received.
Great article!

The Curse Of The Chronic Mystery Shopper
You've heard of mystery shoppers right? They're independent contractors who are hired to pose as a customer to assess certain aspects of a customer service experience. When they're finished, they send in a detailed report of their findings. I have to admit that 25 years in the customer service...
