Insanity?

I am about to embark on something totally insane. I mean in the “extreme foolishness or irrationality” sense of the word. Some people I know may believe that “the state of being seriously mentally ill” might also apply to me, and maybe it does . . . So without dragging it out any further, here […]

Looking back – what did you miss?

This is essentially a “best of the last eighteen months” post i.e. since my last post of this kind (See: 7 Links: A Peek Into My Archives). So if like me, you were too busy to keep up with your blog reading this year, have a look and see what you missed. Or if you’ve only […]

Thanks for listening WordPress!

For me it all started back in July when I wrote a post about what I’d like to see in a WordPress theme. I had been driving family and friends nuts with my chatter about WordPress themes for months. Even those with blogs were beginning to roll their eyes when I started on the subject […]

Post A Day – what a lot of bloggers are thinking

At the beginning of 2011, when WordPress announced their Post A Day and Post A Week challenges, I gave this some thought and decided not to sign up. It was mid-summer here in South Africa and as I suffer from severe migraines  in summer, I was pretty sure that I was not going to be […]

Mystique theme: 3 interpretations

While I read and answered comments to the My quest for the ultimate WordPress theme post , I visited each person’s blog to see what theme they were using, and how they had implemented it. I saw a lot of excellent looking sites. So I have made a decision to feature any nice looking sites […]

7 Links: A Peek Into My Archives

I do not usually formally accept blogging “awards” I get nominated for. Firstly, because I can’t think of anything remotely witty to write as an “acceptance speech”, but I also find it difficult to pass on the “honour”. However, I’m accepting this nomination from 2Summers (see her post here) because it is different.  I had […]

The ultimate WordPress theme is out there – the quest continues . . .

Last week my post My quest for the ultimate WordPress Theme was Freshly Pressed. The response has been absolutely overwhelming. Thank you to all those who read my post, “liked” it, left comments and re-blogged or re-tweeted it. I read every comment and email I received, and hopefully have responded to you all. I also […]

One Year

Today one year ago I started writing this blog. At times it feels like the year has gone by in a flash; at others it seems like I’ve been blogging forever. Looking back over all the posts, I still can’t believe I had so much to say! I’ve written before about what I get out […]

My quest for the ultimate WordPress theme

Thank you to WordPress for featuring this post on Freshly Pressed on 21 July 2011! Thank you also to you for reading this post (and liking it). If you leave a comment, I will read it and respond (but please be patient!). A follow up to this post is The ultimate WordPress theme is out […]

Guess who came for dinner . . .

. . . and stayed for some photo-walks?  No idea? As I told you in a previous post, while Willie is away, a friend was going to visit. Some of you might know her as Riekie from Clouded Marbles. Yes, we are friends in “real life” too. Have been for many years  – ever since […]
