I’m actually trying out some more themes. The green one was a bit hard on the eyes and the one I’ve just changed from was far too busy. WordPress has a number of freebies but I’ll shell out some $$$ if it seems like a good idea. This one appeals to me – easy toContinue reading “This theme just asked me what I’m up to!”

Life happens…
… looks like postaday has gone out the window! It’s over a week since I’ve posted anything on my wordpress blog. I guess this eliminates me from whatever trophy or medal was to be awarded come December 31. Even though there was a sheer multiplication of immediate and insistent preoccupations and layered interruptions that interferedContinue reading “Life happens…”
Distraction Free Writing | The Daily Post at WordPress.com
WordPress, the patron of those of us who consented to be locked into writing something on our blogs everyday for 2011, suggests a range of tools that help prevent being disturbed while writing: Distraction Free Writing | The Daily Post at WordPress.com. I confess my distractions are not of the nature described in the article –Continue reading “Distraction Free Writing | The Daily Post at WordPress.com”
Maintaining “Postaday” while on leave
My minders may be fuming right now. “We told him he had to take his leave and he’s still writing on his blog!” Relax, minders! This was written yesterday, as were the rest of the posts that follow this week. I’m using that cool feature in WordPress that embargoes posts for release at the date and timeContinue reading “Maintaining “Postaday” while on leave”
WordPress smiles upon me…
How good is this? The only day I couldn’t post because of no access to ISP server at my end, I post a retrospective post today – daring postaday2011 to include it without penalty – then, while reading my email backlog, I come across this unsolicited gift of grace from WordPress… Everyone gets a passContinue reading “WordPress smiles upon me…”
Surviving without internet (yesterday’s post!)
Easy-peasy – opportunity to clear the desk and the other backlogs. Let me just clear some meeting dates first – uh, no access to calendar. Well, how about ordering that printer ink that’s due – oh, can’t logon to supplier. OK, I need to get that info on the solar panels – darn, web pageContinue reading “Surviving without internet (yesterday’s post!)”
Speaking (or Blogging) too soon
That will teach me. Brag about posting every day and approaching day 80 and my internet goes down! won’t be up until the end of the week. Who would have thought swapping an ISP belonging to the same company could be so complicated. Anyway, made it today with this gripe having found a wifi hotspotContinue reading “Speaking (or Blogging) too soon”
Gulp!! – every day??!!?
You’ve got to be kidding. WordPress has just issued a challenge to it’s blogging community to post something every day. This is meant to inspire confidence and competence in “fit-start” bloggers like myself. Well, I’m up for it – even though I’m a sprinter rather than a marathon runner! The trick will be to keepContinue reading “Gulp!! – every day??!!?”
Blogging against Poverty – Blog Action Day
Ever wondered what more you can do about world poverty? It’s a bit like the kid throwing beached starfish back into the ocean – not a hope of saving the thousands of stranded ones so why bother at all – what difference does it make? “It makes a difference to this one,” he says, chuckingContinue reading “Blogging against Poverty – Blog Action Day”
Hello world!
Here we are migrating over from Blogger which has faithfully hosted my ramblings for the last few years. I blame Scott Vawser because I have taken his lead and, like him, I like to tinker. There seems to be a few possibilities here. Just be patient though, ‘cos tinkering takes time.
