If you are a regular reader, you can see that the side bar on the right has changed. I used to keep track of my favorite blogs with Blogrolling. I really like this updater. It was easy to add a blog. It would add a "new" to the blog whenever there was a new posting. But, suddenly, it no longer updated blogs. When I went to their site, it was obvious no one was paying any attention – the page had not been updated since August. E-mails to support went unanswered.
So, my next avenue was to check out Bloglines. I could never figure this one out. So, after an e-mail conversation with Mrs Mel, I decided to try out Blogarithm. I found it easy to use and I love that I can make categories. It does not update the blogroll, but I get an e-mail, once a day, with all the new posts. It comes at 4 pm. I wish it came in the morning. So for now, that is how I am keeping track of all of you.
Well, that is not the only way! I also have RSS feeds bookmarked. Some blogs don’t have RSS activated. I don’t know how that works. Anyone know? I have a folder titled Blogs on my bookmark’s tool bar.
What have I been doing? I have been getting "Breaking Barriers" ready to go to Marion, Indiana, next week. I had to finish the facings, add a four inch sleeve and make a label.
I have also been getting the final stuff written for my website. I will soon be able to do the tweaking myself. Gloria Hansen of Gloderworks and her helpers in snowy London are designing it.
I leave you with a couple of the lovely Valentine’s drawings that Mia did for me last week-end. I love, love them. These are clickable for a larger version.
I the picture above you can see the bow that has shot an arrow straight through the heart.
I’m so excited that you are going to have a website. Congratulations. Now, I’m going to have to figure out that sidebar blog thingy. I’ve tried before and have blogarithm (as per Melody) but I’ve never been patient enough to figure it out. I will try someday. I think since I get notices for updates, I must only have to cut and paste something. Ugh. I love the drawings too. So lovely and sweet.
I’ve been wishing that Blogroll would work it out because I’ve dreaded moving all that info to another site.
Will be looking forward to the website debut!
I just love having you on blogarithms! The first time you came up, I couldn’t figure out why, because I didn’t know I could get your typepad blogs to feed on blogarithm….you teach me so much!!
I love Mia’s valentines….and I can’t wait to see your web site! You must be getting so excited!!
