Tristan, Simon, Beloved and especially DaniGirl are pleased to announce the arrival of their brand new baby blog, the newly independent Postcards from the Mothership on Danigirl.ca.<\/p>\n

This version of blog was delivered after more than a week of hard labour on the part of DaniGirl, with extensive coaching by Beloved.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to:<\/p>\n

  • Tech Support at Namespro.ca<\/a>, for extraordinary customer service and at Hostingplex <\/a>for having the patience of Job while walking me through the initial set-up;<\/li>\n
  • Tom at One Hertz<\/a>, for designing the Mandigo theme, and for actually answering my questions about how to tweak it (after deciphering my awkward attempt to ask for assistance in French!) and Suze<\/a>, where I first admired a variation on the theme;<\/li>\n
  • An 18 year old amateur photographer from Israel named Michelle, who gave me permission to adapt her lovely Flickr image<\/a> for my new header.<\/li>\n
  • Urban Fonts<\/a> for the funky handwriting font in the header. (Beloved says it’s too thin, but I love it!)\n
  • Marla <\/a>for her critical eye and unvarnished honesty (and she has a new blog<\/a>, too!); <\/li>\n
  • Andrea<\/a>, Ian<\/a>, Colin <\/a>and Barbara<\/a>, who provided insight on hosted domains and the tools to use them;<\/li>\n
  • And last but certainly not least, Beloved, who not only picked up the slack around the house this week while I spent endless hours glued to the laptop, alternately cursing and gloating as I encountered and overcame untold problems both small and large, but tutored me on Photoshop, provided creative input, and was smart enough to know when to help, when to take over and do it for me, and when to get the hell out of the way.\n

    You’ll see I’ve imported the archives, but simply can’t import the old comments. I will continue to cross-post at both blogs until after Labour Day, but original blog will be kept indefinitely, in case one day a fix is available. <\/p>\n

    Please take a look around, and let me know if you see any problems with links or the design or anything. I’m open to suggestions, too!<\/p>\n
