All Things "Blogging"

I don't know much about blogging, but I seem to talk about it a lot. When I do talk about it, I put it in this category. You've been forewarned about taking my advice! Thanks for visiting!

Morning Coffee Is Good

February 25, 2010

No, I’m not talking about real coffee, although that’s pretty special. I’m talking about “Morning Coffee.” That is my contribution to this week’s Only The Good. It’s an application (or add-on) available for your Mozilla Firefox browser. I had no clue that it existed or that I wanted it until I [...]

Digital Mom Meme

January 31, 2010

Some of y’all may know that for the past few months, I’ve been participating in BlogHer’s Family Connections citizen journalism project as a Momspotter. Basically that means I tweet a few times a day with the #momspotting hashtag about how I use technology in my day-to-day parenting life (actually, I talk more about just life, [...]

Proximidade Blogging Award

August 9, 2009

Don’t y’all just hate it when your body won’t cooperate? If you haven’t had that experience, you haven’t gotten as old as I am … yet. It’ll happen, if you are lucky. I despise getting old, until I consider the alternative.
My back went all wonky on me last week. I’m pretty [...]

It’s All Geek To Me

May 13, 2009

Have y’all ever been in a foreign country and didn’t speak the language? Perhaps you were surrounded by people who didn’t speak your language either. All of a sudden you have to go to the bathroom, but you don’t know the word to call it.
When you try express yourself to ask [...]

What To Do About Blog Comments

April 13, 2009

By serendipity, I have found two posts today talking about how to deal with blog comments. It’s one of those blogging dilemmas to which I have not found the correct answer.
Rebecca at Just One More Page has a meme called “Musing Mondays.” Her questions for today were:
How do you respond to [...]

Lost in the Bowels of My Blog

April 2, 2009

I’ve been lost in the “bowels” of my blog the last few days. It was time for some blogging maintenance! I can only concentrate on one thing at a time, and if I’m working on code and cleanup, my creativity suffers, so I have been “hiding out.”
I had noticed in my [...]

No More “Peek-A-Boo” Blog

March 14, 2009

Can you see me now? My blog has been playing “Peek-A-Boo” with my readers and with me lately. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I hope it isn’t going to happen anymore since I changed domain name servers to Liquid Web.
Regular readers will know that I’ve been frustrated with my old blog server [...]

The Play’s The Thing. Enter The Dentyne “Realationships” Playwrights Contest.

March 5, 2009

I know some of you out there sit at your desk slaving away writing stories and plays and such. Maybe you have a dusty manuscript stashed in a file drawer? Here is an opportunity you can’t afford to miss. I’d have told you about it much sooner, but I just got [...]

“Bloggy” Housekeeping

February 23, 2009

I hate it when I “bite off more than I can chew.” It happens in the real world and in my virtual blogging world (and I never seem to learn!). Do y’all ever do that? I get ambitious and think I can do tons of different things at once — then it [...]

Blushing From Head To Toe–And Passing It On.

January 25, 2009

I’m as embarrassed as a possum up a plum tree! I always get that way when people say nice things about me. Momma didn’t teach me how to accept compliments, and I’ve never done it well.
Last week, in one single day, I was bestowed two different awards (by two of my favorite [...]

A New Addiction For My Muse: Facebook

January 19, 2009

I told y’all that my Muse has been recalcitrant lately. All she wants to do is play mahjong. At least, that’s all she wanted until Jessica The Rock Chick corrupted her.
Jessica had back surgery, and stopped blogging for awhile. Every time I e-mailed her, she answered me on Facebook. She couldn’t sit [...]

Empty Words

January 14, 2009

In a storytelling workshop with 4th grade students this week, I had a child ask me a question that has given me pause. It made me start pondering my storytelling and my blogging. I told the kids that I didn’t start telling stories until I was in my thirties, although my life’s path [...]

If You Have A Y Chromosome, This Is Probably Not A Post For You

January 10, 2009

Have y’all ever been out to eat with a group of people, and find that suddenly all the women get up and go to the bathroom together? A man would never turn to his buddy and say, “Hey, Bob, I’m going to the Men’s Room, you want to join me?” But, women do [...]

In Harmony

January 6, 2009

I visited the blog of my friend Robin, who lives just outside of Tel Aviv in Israel. I’ve been worrying about her since this latest war began, though she assures us she is “safe.”. She begs the question “what is the etiquette for blogging during wartime?” Robin lives in the center of [...]

Hot Dog! I Made A Podcast!

December 29, 2008

Did y’all ever wake up one morning, and think to yourself, “Self, you ought to make a podcast!”?
I hadn’t either until a few weeks ago. I got to thinking that I’ve had this Apple computer for about a year, and haven’t even begun to explore all the “bells and whistles” on it. I [...]

Some Thank You’s And An Invitation

October 30, 2008

Isn’t it a huge relief to get home from a trip?
I just got home from a pretty grueling road trip to Houston. Mind you, I’m not complaining, because it meant work and a paycheck (Hallelujah!). However that trip has left me with a “full plate” of things to do today, and I’m going [...]

WINNERS in the Celtic Thunder Drawing

October 16, 2008

Have y’all been hearing me cuss a blue streak?
I’ve been very indelicate in my manner of speech today. I went on a simple errand, and I got lost three times in Fort Worth, so I didn’t get back as quickly as I thought I would. THEN, my blasted server went wonky [...]

There Is No Need To Be Pre POSTEROUS

October 10, 2008

Well, actually now I guess I have to say I’m POST posterous. But, I was pre-posterous a few minutes ago. No, I’m not just talking drivel. I’m trying to tell you about a cool new tool I just discovered. It’s a free place to blog from your e-mail or from [...]
