Another Manic Monday 2008-04-07 10:10:17 Thanks to all of you who asked after me while I was out. Having the flu bug was not any fun. That’s twice this year and well I hope done for. Seems like I missed an entire week and it’s starting to show. Blogs are a bit like children, you have to spend time [...] Read more:Manic

It Ain’t Easy Being Green 2008-03-26 10:53:14 I jumped on the “green” living bandwagon a bit late, I suppose. By all accounts, old hippie that I am, I should have been “green” long ago. In ways I am and always have been. In my home, I’ve preferred glass containers of all types to plastic, I’ve recycled carpet squares to anything from coasters [...] Read more:Green

You might have noticed that I used Entrecard on this blog. I don’t on my other blogs, well just because I don’t. There’s no scientific evidence, at least as far as I’m concerned that its good or bad for my uses. However, I do have a few little gripes about its use on [...]

Dear WP,
I recently upgraded my successful WP 2.3.3 blog install to 2.5. What a nightmare. Pictures won't load, posts don't show, I cannot edit comments, the lists go on and on. The user console is unfriendly and loaded heavily with unnecessary items, my former wysiwyg editor is gone, replaced [...] Read more:Blogs

The user console is unfriendly and loaded heavily with unnecessary items, my former wysiwyg editor is gone, replaced by some neo-friendly blank. Publishing is a nightmare, the permalink structure is fatally flawed, plugins that worked before, even with updates now prove to be fatal errors. What happened to the best publishing platform for blogs? Even worse...support is non existant. Posting in the forums is a futile effort at best. Requests for help go unanswered or worse yet, some self avowed know it all accuses this blogger of being a pimply faced teen with no date to the pr Read more:Blogs

It Ain’t Easy Being Green 2008-03-26 10:53:14 I jumped on the "green" living bandwagon a bit late, I suppose. By all accounts, old hippie that I am, I should have been "green" long ago. In ways I am and always have been. In my home, I've preferred glass containers of all types to plastic, I've recycled carpet squares to anything from coasters to mats at the door, I've always preferred natural surfaces (tile for floors, concrete for counter tops) to the man-made carpets, and formicaish counter tops. Quilts have been made from a multitude of fabrics, from cottons to wools, just depending on what's around. And I've preferred my cloth grocery bags over the store's requisite plastic for years. (I had a million uses for the brown paper bags that have disappeared from use)

What's Mine is Mine and What's Yours is Mine Too
Last week, engineer hubby and I had a bit of a tiff over money. Who hasn't you say? Well, it all boiled down to my frugal nature and my absolute need to have a cushion in the bank. Admitedly my pay these days is significantly less than his, but it goes straight into the bank into our checking account to cover what ever bills it will. His pay has been going into
High Cotton 2008-03-22 14:06:22 Spring Cleaning. Its either a YIPPEE or UGGG thing for most people. For me, its mostly YIPPEE. I get to open the house up, let the breeze off the water blow through the house, hang the bed linens on the line outside to dry, and basically feel spring throughout the house. Being closed up inside all winter, I get cabin fever. So, the first inkling of spring, brings me back to my childhood; where on Saturday morning, before we sat down for breakfast, all the beds were stripped, windows were opened and a cool southern breeze wafted through the whole house. Saturdays were work days back then. There were floors to be stripped and re-waxed, windows to be washed, grass to be cut and a thousand other chores (or it seemed like it) to be done. Being the "girl", I had the joy of dusting and Read more:Cotton

Why is it necessary to barrage users with pop ups and music that can not be clicked away? If I run into either of these time wasters, I'm gone, no click.
Are you hiding your Entrecard ad space for a reason? I will read a blog if its interesting, don't make me hunt the Entrecard ad space, that's really annoying. Also, why put it at the very bottom of the page? Is that so, I'll be forced to page down and spend some time? Not gonna happen for me, I'll click a
The Shocking Thing 68% Of Bloggers Don’t Do 2008-05-13 21:08:01 Writing a blog is work. Hard work. Whether the author finds the process fun or invigorating or they find it difficult and time consuming; writing, at the end of the day is WORK. If more of the blog authors took their writing more seriously, content would indeed be king.
