Change is afoot …

I’m making changes to my blog.If anything looks strange or something doesn’t work in the next few days, it will be a temporary situation. The new and improved blog should be unveiled later this week.

Lillie, you are soooo industrious! Please stop, you’re making the rest of us (okay….me….) look bad. Ha!

Good luck, have fun redesigning, and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!

Hi Lillie! Long time no talk… I was happy to see you at eWritings the other day. :) I haven’t been online so much in the past months, and even now I only turn on my PC to check out my emails and to post a new entry every now and again – to keep my blogs alive. It appears we all go through changes this autumn. :)
Well, I wish you good luck with the new design – knowing you, I know it will be awesome… You’ll probably still keep yellow, your favorite color (you should, it represents your soul). I can hardly wait to see the results!

I for one appreciate when someone updates there blog frequently. Not just the content but the asthetic of it. Kinda like you know like getting your car washed, I mean it’s not a new car but it feels good to drive around again.

Hi, Lillie,
So sorry it has been a while since I stopped by. Life has been very hectic lately. I haven’t had much time for writing my blogs or reading others. Btw, please try my guestbook again when you get a chance. I think whatever the glitch was with slide.com has been fixed because it is finally adding people.
Hugs,
Tammy

I tried to leave a comment on your blog but for some reason couldn’t get it to go through. it is very excited to me.

Always and exciting and slightly scary task when changing things around. Just be sure to have a test URL with a blocked robots.txt file in there so avoid the duplicate content penalty from Google. Also, having learned from my mistakes, ALWAYS have a backup of your backup database. I did an ‘upgrade’ for a buddy a while back and managed to corrupt an sql database in the process. After many hours of recoding and fixing invalid arguments, we finally get it back in order, but whoa nelly…lesson learned.

I like the design as it is right now but I know it’s good to change thing up every once in a while. Hope the new design is coming along well.

Trent,
The design you see is the new design, however, it is on a temporary site because I ran into a glitch installing WordPress on the main site. That’s why a lot of the images are missing and links don’t work. I hope to get it corrected tomorrow.

Thanks, shelly. This was months ago, and the new design has been functional since shortly after the post was written.
