I now have LiveFyre itself on board to help me troubleshoot things. I have flipped an additional switch in the LiveFyre settings and if you could continue to leave FB and blog comments I can see what is working and what isn’t. I’m now about to try some Twitter testing…so hopefully you’ll see comments from … Read more
I’m trying out a new commenting tool on my blog: LiveFyre. I’ve seen it work well on a friend’s blog, so I thought I’d give it a go over here. One of the things it’s supposed to resolve is tying together Facebook and Twitter comments with the blog’s own comments. So they’re all in one … Read more
Here’s ANOTHER test post, testing some publishing-related plug-ins. Thank you for your patience. In the meantime, I’ve included a random picture for you to enjoy. This is a “stained glass” project that Timmy did in art class. Sharpies on a piece of transparency film :-). This was shown in a Santa Rosa County Public Schools … Read more
This is yet another test of some additional capabilities for my new blog. I needed to re-establish the connection for those who receive e-mails of my post, but not from FeedBurner. For the past two days straight, I’ve been tweaking and massaging the settings on my new blog location and I think I’m in a … Read more
Testing my post-from-e-mail capability. Please enjoy this picture of what color our foyer is becoming! We’re doing lots of painting this week! This is a color called “Pismo Dunes” available from Behr. We also painted the bathroom on Sunday — a lovely icy blue color.

Thanks to GeekMom, I’ve been getting pretty comfortable with WordPress and there are some blogging features I’d like to use, … Read more
Happy New Year everyone! Our family had a fun weekend celebrating with friends and some folks from Dave’s squadron. One of his senior NCOs was promoted this week, so he had double reason to celebrate! As usual, it’s time for everyone to come forward with their resolutions. “I will eat less and exercise more!” “I … Read more
Why I FAILED to post yesterday, and thus FAILED at the NaBloPoMo contest for this year. 1.) I was playing Glitch quite a bit on Sunday. I was trying to earn enough money for a super-big new house and that took about 3 hours of my day. 2.) I was busy with Cub Scouts. Timmy’s … Read more
Today I added my name…my blog…to the rolls of the National Blog Post Month list, brought to you by BlogHer.com. Feel free to join in… I have a lot of talk about this month, including updates on Dave’s post-surgery recovery, which should make this easy to do. Even if I just take an iPhone picture … Read more
This is just a filler post to run a fun little experiment. I am going to compare RSS Graffiti with Networked Blogs and see which syndication posts to my Facebook page faster. I’m leaning towards keeping RSS Graffiti because it didn’t require the widget on my site, nor did it require me to pick 5 … Read more
