Question
I fertilize as you have suggested.  I have even repotted my plants about two months ago with African Violet soil, but still do not have blooms.  I have them potioned so they get the morning sun.  It is not feasible to install a shop light because they are in our dining area (not great an attractive decorating appointment!).  Help!

Answer
Karen, I need to first apologize for not answering you right away.  I had gone into the AllExperts site to put myself on vacation for a week, and it appears that I didn't enter it correctly, or logged out before it went through.  Whatever, I am heartily sorry you had to wait like you did.  If you have written to me for help in the past, you must know that is not how I handle my service.  I really am very sorry for any problems this caused you.  I feel I cannot apologize enough.

Let me tell you that violets do take their time in blooming for the first time, especially after they have been repotted into new soil or pots.  They just seem to have a "mind of their own".  This does not sound very scientific, I realize, but it is true.  I don't usually repot mine right away unless I think they really need it.  Just moving them (or ANY plant at all) to another home with different lighting and humidity is a big change for them.  I like to get them acclimated to my home first.  Actually, I don't repot my violets as often as it is suggested.  I don't like to move their roots at all, unless there is a real need, of course.  Also, don't be tempted to put them into much larger pots until they are literally squeezing their way out of the old ones.  African violets will not bloom unless they are in tight quarters.  The reason is that they will put out new roots when there is extra room in the soil.  If not, then they will use that energy to bloom.  It sounds logical, doesn't it?  It sounds to me that you are giving the violets everything you should.  Lighting is very important, and a morning exposure is best.  Second, keep them moist at all times.  And make sure they get some good humidity, too, if nothing but to mist them several times a day.  Use fertilizer every time you water (only at one-half strength).  You may have to keep waiting a while, but if you keep them happy with the above things, once they "feel secure" in their present environment, then they will surprise you with blooms someday soon.  You will be looking at the crown of leaves in the center and see a little tiny bloom starting to erupt.  After one they just pop in like crazy.  You will see it. I just know it!
