Blogging without privacy Blogging, Life | (5)
A blog is a diary. It is personal. Even if it is online. If my ex-husband's wife's paper diary was laying out on a table and I could read it without anyone finding out, I would not read it. I have not searched for her blog (online personal diary) even though I know she has one. Privacy is sacred. Furthermore, I would not go to her flickr account. If I did I would not favorite a photo with a name from her past to prank her. I am an adult. I respect the right to privacy. I have better things to do like taking care of ...

Video on Flickr! Blogging, Life, Web | (0)
Flickr is allowing video to be uploaded to their website by pro account holders. The videos are more "long photos" than video meaning only the first 90 seconds of any video will be shown. Can I tell you how excited I am about the ability to upload my vidoes to flickr? It is a great thing to simply upload and share the videos of my kids right along with all the photos on flickr saving family members from having to click all over the internet. I was jumping for joy until I read the little bit about the 90 seconds limitation. ...

WordPress 2.5 upgrade Blogging | (3)
I have upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.5. Please, let me know if you see anything that isn't right. It's the first time I have done an upgrade without using Fantastico. My hands are still shaking. I was a nervous wreck during the upgrade fearing the worst. I have spent a month going back and forth as to whether I should wait until fantastico has the newest version of WordPress available or do the upgrade by myself. Yesterday, I had decided to wait. That was yesterday. Twenty minutes ago, I started the process of backing up my blog, downloaded WordPress 2.5, opened up my ftp, deleted ...

Link love Blogging, Blogging resources, Web | (0)
I have installed a sideblog for my WordPress blog. It is located in my sidebar and is filed under the category named Internet finds. This is where I will put links to interesting or humorous websites, blogs, videos or any other Internet finds that I think are worth sharing. Some of you may remember Follow the frog to a mystery blog. Each day, I made a link to a blog that I had found and wanted to share. The problem I had with this was how I was doing it I had to break the links each day. In the end, I decided ...

One day blog silence America, Blogging, Life, Web | (2)
For one day the blogsphere will be silent to show respect for those that died at Virginia tech and out of respect for the families that lost a loved one there. Lorelle wrote a nice post about this subject that I invite you to read. Go ahead and click the link. You won't be disappointed. It is a moving post about the power of silence. I think it is a noble idea and will join this day of silence. Personally, I would like to see a day like this for the end of gun sales in America which made it ...

5 items meme Blogging | (7)
I've been tagged (read her meme here) by the lovely Alison at Alithinks. It only took me two days to do the meme as opposed to a couple weeks the last time I was tagged for a meme. We've been a busy family lately. So, I was impressed with myself. We've went walking and have taken the kids to the park almost every single day. I love walking and hope to get off the rest of my "baby fat" soon. It's hanging on as "love handles". The problem is I'm not lovin' it so much. It's ...
