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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

My quest for the ultimate WordPress theme

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 […]

Some housekeeping and an update

Walking the Cats For anybody who has been following the indoor-outdoor cat debate on this blog in the last week, take a look at this video which 2Summers found online. Quite amazing! The normally indoor-only cats in this video look really happy. Just like dogs going for a walk. The deal with the Devil Several […]

Gathering your own tribe

Emiel from Act of Traveling tweeted the link to a very interesting blog post the other day. Well, it was interesting to me since I had been discussing the same topic with a friend and fellow blogger. The post was called “Why are the “social media elite” ignoring us?” (click on link to read). While […]

The Bloggies: Have you voted yet?

In case you were not aware (as I wasn’t until fairly recently!) it’s time to vote for the 2011 Weblog Awards or Bloggies as they’re also known. I completely missed out on the nomination phase, and the early rounds, but now it’s down to the final round – the 5 candidates in each category having […]

Why I “like” you

Riekie from Clouded Marbles wrote a post the other day titled “To like, or not to like“. It’s a topic that I’d been thinking about too, but just not in as much detail as she obviously has! 😉 If you haven’t seen her post yet, go and take a look. So why do I “like” […]
