If you remember a while back, we did a segment here on SDMcKinley.com called Friday Fun Links. Fun links have evolved into Friday Fun Trifecta, where I will feature one thing of each – music, book and visual arts. Welcome to Friday Fun Trifecta #13, in appreciation for artwork.
It’s Friday again. How am I doing? I had some great relaxation during the night and that makes for a marvelous Friday to wrap the week up splendidly.

Cryptoart sounds very interesting!
Doesn’t it though? Let me know how you fare out!
Testing, 123. Can you hear me. Super read mate and have a good weekend.
Hey, when I comment reply, do you get a notification in your WordPress reader?
Ah, that track takes me back to Manchester and a cool little club night called Tangled. Nice! And I love the isometric art. Great post S.D. 😎
Really? didn’t know you were clubbing, sir. Glad I could take you back and refresh some memories in your head – all the way in Japan! See you tomorrow.
Thanks 😊 Btw, I didn’t get notified for this reply. Weird!
Hey Wakizashi,
do you get notified in your little “bell” area when SD replies to you?
And would you mind replying to me down below? I am trying to get as much data so WP gets its collective head out of its fundament about this issue.
Thanks!
No I didn’t. Just that he liked the comment.
Ok, trying this again…
Hey, there, Mr. Bookstooge. But a lovely Friday, isn’t it? I’m thinking so with the exception of the stifling, brisk wind, eh?
You mind replying once more in about 10minutes? Sorry to be such a pain!
It’s been 10 minutes from now . . .
Thank you. WP, absolutely USELESS!
Aiiight, I’m checking with tales, now.
Here is the official reply I got from WP through email:
Thank you for the details.
I checked your account and I can confirm there is some issue with replies on that post not showing up in the Notifications panel.
We are checking more on this and will update you once we have more information to share.
Meanwhile, if you notice anything related to this or have any other queries feel free to reply to this email.
So now I’m stuck with bugging them every couple of days, as “we’ll contact you” means “we don’t know and we don’t care”.
Love the pixel art, they remind me of that stupid Farm game everyone got addicted to on Facebook some years ago.
So my quest to scare someone worked, then? 🤠
And Wakizashi was notified of my like but not my comment. So it is something to do with your site then 🙁
Got a WP email this morning:
Thank you for your feedback. I’ve looked into this further, and it seems that the site owner hasn’t enabled a notifications feature on their site. This is likely why you aren’t seeing notifications from the site.
I recommend reaching out to the site owner, and recommending that they enable this option on their site.
they included a link:
https://jetpack.com/support/control-jetpack-features-on-one-page/
Hope that helps.
Okay. I had no idea that hidden menu was there! I have now activated the “notifications” JetPack module.
hey, Hey, HEY! It worked!!!!! I got this in my bell area, Perfecto!
Okay. Now, here’s a test without a like, which I, in fact do like. I’m glad we got it fixed. Now, let the flaming begin!!! 🎁🐰🔥🥳🥳😛😜🤪🤯🌛🌜🌜🌛🥶🤡💥🌟✨⭐💫
works.
Very good 🙂
What?! Now I can see the comments on my blog in the notifications?! Amazing. 🤯
Thank you for helping getting it fixed even though it was a problem on my end. True community at it’s finest.
I’m just glad it’s fixed. Hopefully that will help encourage people to stick around.
“Study and Living Room Design” reminds me of a vintage Clue game board. I would love to read Kojima’s book; thanks for the heads-up!
Vintage Clue sounds like fun. I know someone that has a Life game from the 70s. Makes for a whole different experience!
Isn’t Ludlum the guy behind the Bourne stuff? Is that book part of the Bourne series too? 😮
I didn’t know about Kojima’s book! That sounds like a nice fan collector’s item to possess. I’ll definitely look into getting my hands on a copy. The man really changed the gaming sphere with his MGS series. I can’t say much about Death Stranding besides being hyped about it with the countless teasers until the gameplay footages came out and made me wonder if it was really something I’d want to PLAY. Hahahah
It is, in fact the same guy.
I have gotten into Death Stranding a bit and I can say good things about it. I really need to finish the game, as I consider it somewhat of a masterpiece, at least so far with the atmospheric type feel that I like getting from a game.
