Blogroll, again

OK, it’s gone from my sidebar because I didn’t like how long it made the page, especially with this new theme and the fact that comments displayed below the end of the sidebar.

So, I realized (duh) an easy way to cut and paste it into a page, the link is up at there at the top of the blog, right underneath the photo and title — the whole list is there for you to peruse and link from at your leisure.

Whoa. Freaky

WordPress has been upgrading their backend user interface tdoay and whoa…..it’s different….I bet there are going to be more than a few people that hate it. I’m just playing with inserting some pictures, I don’t think I ever managed to show off my finished Blooming Nine Patch. Uploading the pictures was good, not sure about this gallery thing they’ve stuck in here. We’ll see…..

Whee………..

LOL

Pictures full size individually….

dsc05125 Whoa.  Freaky

dsc05128 Whoa.  Freaky

Inserted as Gallery…

Interesting……..the functionality is all there, it’s just…different, so look around, don’t get frustrated, you’ll find it.  Promise!

Switched servers last night and last day of NaBloPoMo

Switching servers means that my blog looked like it disappeared for awhile. It took me until this morning to realize that the reason I couldn’t get my blog address to point to the right place was because I wasn’t checking one tiny little box. Oops.

So those of you that might have been looking at really old posts from 2006, my apologies. Hopefully you’ve come back to make sure I’m really actually still here.

The fact that I did switch servers means that (a) I’m getting more junk mail, which, oddly enough is OK with me, because it also means that (b) I was finally able to get the password reminder e-mail from Ringsurf. I just knew that my previous host had been treating those as spam. The fact that I had gotten it means that (c) I have FINALLY fixed the MQResource webring. Phew. I should have switched my web/e-mail provider long ago.

(And darn it, I was so annoyed when I did get the password reminder e-mail. Now that I see it, I remember choosing the password that I did, but it is completely different than any of my other passwords, and I never would have remembered on my own that that is what it was.)

In other news: this is the 30th of November!!! That means that technically, I can publish this entry and I will have posted every single day in November as a part of NaBloPoMo. Hopefully most of you found most of my posts this month at least somewhat interesting and didn’t groan too badly thinking “Oh, dear heavens, what is she blathering about today.”

I’ve seen some bloggers that have participated that have been strugglign for the last week or so. I’ll have to be honest, I’ve felt pretty invigorated by the process. I have enjoyed the challenge of trying to post something daily, I think it’s been a good exercise in discipline for me.

I don’t know exactly what will happen in December. I’m hoping the commitment I’ve made to November will carry over to a new project that I’m starting tomorrow. I’m keeping it a surprise until the project actually starts, then I’ll tell you all about it.

I did do something interesting and related to art/craft last night, and will post later today. Right now, though, it’s time to go get the slugs out of bed and get our day started. Unfortunately, the slugs like to get out of bed as much as their Mama does (which isn’t very much), so it takes awhile to get them going.

TTFN-

Seriously annoyed

Excuse me as I rant (and apologize) for a moment about something:

The MQResource blog ring is broken, and has been, and I can’t do a @#$% thing about it at the moment and I’m seriously annoyed about it.

I apologize to all of you that are members (or want to be members, but can’t because I can’t activate your membership).

I have sent an e-mail to tech support, but have gotten no response.

I can NOT log in, and I can’t explain the situation.  I try to have them e-mail me my password, but I never get the @#$% e-mails.  That’s a separate rant:  my e-mail provider thinks it is protecting me from spam and has a filter on my e-mail such that I don’t even get the opportunity to say YES!  I want that e-mail!  Yes!  That’s a valid e-mail.  @#$%@#$%@#$%

So, at this point, I’m not sure what to do, other than to abandon the existing ring and start over.  I am NOT impressed with Ringsurf, but quite frankly wasn’t impressed by the other Ring websites that exist.  I’m not sure what to do, and I apologize profusely to anyone that has tried to surf our Ring, or tried to join it.

I’ll let you know in a day or two what I’m going to do about it.
