Starting Off Blogging Right!

No, not politically right, but in tune with resolutions to improve my blogging and keep on top of resurrecting blog efforts such as TrueGrit, etc. I wrote a little report on a few changes I made in my wordpress sites. This site and the garden website Ilona’s Garden, are my earliest efforts at blogging with the wordpress platform. I have many posts accumulated from years of writing, so the sites have...

Like A Vapor

I just noticed that Internet Monk passed away on April 5th. Many of us had known he was fighting a battle with cancer, but I had not seen that he has since left this “vale of tears”. For so it is, when suffering with disease and pain. I had wondered what had become of another blogger with whom I had interacted with more than with Michael Spenser, Michele McGinty of Reformed Chicks Blabbing,...

Disturbances

I loved my old theme “Coldstone”, and I hope to be able to bring it back, but in upgrading things I somehow ran into too many snafus and it just wouldn’t work. So we are back to “Cutline” or something else as soon as I can get things to work for me. My personal life has been busy, and a bit distracted. My husband and I have finally made updated wills… after twenty five...

Briefly Out of Town

I will be posting as I can, but being out of town will mean that real blogging doesn’t resume for about a week and a half. Subscribe to me in the...

Changes Ahead

Again. This time I am going to change my theme into one that I hope to be able to use long term. The reason to alert readers is because it looks like things will be disrupted a bit and it might look strange for the time it takes me to iron things out. I finally paid some money for a theme so that it would have support and be flexible for the future. Then I will start writing more here...

Hey Bloggers:I Hate Snow

Snow java scripts, that is. I hated them when they were a new thing on static websites, and if possible, I hate them even more on blogs. You think they are cute, and festive, I get that. But they make the screen wobble and are generally distracting, and eventually annoying and OLD. They OLD web.0 style. Please reconsider when adding them to your page. That is all. Goodbye and good...

A Special Gift

A Special Gift Maybe even for you! I know this is a year of frugality and we are all making efforts to stem crass commercialism, but there always ought to be time to appreciate art and to support talent. I randomly chose one I like to illustrate this post. I try to not make a secret of the high regard I hold for certain blogs and talents. I don’t want to be stingy with well deserved praise for them. So it...

Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes

Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes Complegalitarian speaks of what it is to visualize walking in another’s shoes… and some thoughts on understanding abuse. In another way, Shannon of Rocks in my Dryer highlights what some people walk through in their own words. What I’d Like For You To Know: The Wife of a Deployed Soldier and What I’d Like For You To Know: A Mom of Autistic...

My Beautiful Baskets

Arrived! Today the baskets were delivered via FedEx, dispatched quickly and packaged neatly. I will have to take a picture of them this weekend… and post! They really are so pretty, and the cards that came with them describe three of the weavers. I do hope this program is helping the women as much as it says- to think that you are so easily improving the lives of women and children by giving them...

Something Beautiful, Something Good

Something Beautiful, Something Good First, I have to tell you: I love baskets. I especially love handwoven baskets infused with ethnic style. I also love a good cause, and what is better than combining the two? Now I have to tell you what I discovered and share it with you. You might know I exercise at Curves, usually three times a week. This past week there were some baskets on display. Not just any baskets, but well made, graphically...

Slow Lane Blogging

I find I am in the slow lane online lately. I haven’t run out of ideas to discuss or topics to explore, in fact, I have many unfinished ones that call for a series of posts. I am not tired of writing, I wish I could devote more of my time to it right now. I have many interests that just started in recent month: facebook, twitter, and other things like that. But I am not able to do my usual acrobatic...

Comments work again- page functioning

After the turbulence things are muddy here, but not a total loss. I’ll work on themes when I have time , which I don’t at the moment. Thanksgiving is only a short time away, and then I start on Christmas preparations, like many. So I will have to look towards improving the blog as I can looking toward 2008 as a better year. Funny how we do that. A lady at Curves who had a horrendous year, in...

Weblogs Finalists Up and Spiritual FAQs

Weblogs Finalists Up and Spiritual FAQs This is about both separately, not entirely separated, but not altogether a single topic. First, I noticed that the finalists are listed and I started looking at the blogs represented in the religious blog category. So, of course, their blog topics and questions raised within their posts come to mind. This post is to give a heads up on voting and then, secondly, a place to record some questions that come...

Koreans Freed, Thank God… but what now?

Korean Hostages All Free – Weeping and Rejoicing, Catez reports on the final act of the Korean Hostage situation. August 30th she heard the report of their freedom and commented, Today I am reminded that we weep with those who weep, and rejoice with those who rejoice. Those of us who have kept the team in our prayers hold both of those realities together. Christian history has chronicled stories...
