New header images!

26 August 2009 Editorial asides

I stole 30 minutes from Lucas’s nap this afternoon and tweaked some of the old header banners and added five new ones. Refresh a couple of times and let me know what you think! I think my fave is the sunflowers — they were a motif of mine for quite a while, and we found [...]

Placeholder

7 August 2009 Editorial asides

I keep writing posts and not publishing them. I can’t get one right, and it’s making me squirrelly. My words, usually golden and fluid like warm coffee, are alternately gelatinous and prickly. Not fit for sharing, in any case. Stay tuned, I’m sure it’s only temporary.

The ultimate DIY blog kit

20 July 2009 Editorial asides

If you’re reading the feed for the first time since Friday (you, on Facebook, I’m talking to YOU!) you’ll have to click through to formally admire my fancy new blog design. Did I mention I did it myself? Yay me! I’ve been looking for a decent theme for WordPress on and off for the last [...]

Oooo, pretty shiny new blog…

18 July 2009 Editorial asides

So here it is! (You, over there on Google Reader — click through and admire the fancy new design please!) There’s more work to be done, but I’m tired of hacking it on my test site. I would have thought that early Saturday morning was the perfect time to tinker, except there’s thunder in the [...]

A bloggy work in progress

14 July 2009 Editorial asides

So I’m redesigning the blog again. I know, I know, it’s just been a couple of months since the last one. Even though I really like the design (and frankly love certain elements of it) it’s just not working for me — both metaphorically and literally. It’s the literally not working problem that’s getting me [...]

Ack!

29 May 2009 Editorial asides

After I published my last post, the formatting on the blog got all farked up. Is it displaying properly for you? For me, the post about Papa Lou’s 65th appears in the sidebar and the sidebar is down below. Not sure what happened, let alone how to fix it… gah! I wasn’t even in the [...]

The Family Photographer?

25 May 2009 Editorial asides

So I had this idea while I was in the shower. (Some people do their best thinking on the commode. Me, it’s on the shower. Something about cleanliness and fresh starts, maybe?) Actually, it’s the evolution of an idea I’ve been toying with for a while. You guys seem to like my pictures and be [...]

Surprise!!!

14 May 2009 Editorial asides

So???? What do you think? (If you’re reading through a feed reader, you MUST click through — I’ve done a massive blog reno.) Mad props to Nikki at Design Coyote (and also at Snailbird.com) who managed to give me what I wanted instead of what I asked for. I was originally going to upload the [...]

Blogroll and linky love

22 April 2009 Editorial asides

I’m doing some spring cleaning around the blog, and realized that my blogroll is embarrassingly, dreadfully out of date. So many of you who visit here regularly should be on it — and there are blogs on it that haven’t posted new material since 2007 or earlier! While it makes me terribly sad to visit [...]
