Blog Updates

A few blog housekeeping updates:

(1) Added lots of links to friends' blogs (see side column). So many that we had to distinguish family from friends. BTW, Adam and Shana are considered family, because if your kids call them Aunt Shana and Uncle Adam and they came over to your house three times a week for three years, then they deserve to be listed as family.

(2) Added e-mail subscription section in side column. If you want to get an automatic e-mail every time a new post appears, then submit your e-mail on the right.

(3) Still trying to work on why Firefox has printing issues. If you can figure that one out, you're a genius, please let me learn from you - oh master.

(4) Changed template to the lighthouse harbor theme - which is much more Chuck and Ashley even though it has less colors. Changed font of 'Posted by' line so that it is smaller than and a different color from the actual post. (That took a lot more time than and coding it sounds like it should.)

(5) Changed RSS subscription wording at bottom of page (also took too much time and coding) from Subscribe Posts - Atom (whatever the heck that means) to something a bit more logical.

In my efforts to improve our blog, I have become somewhat coding cognizant. If you are a beginner and want help, let me know. I can be your Blogging for Super Dummies resource. (Sorry, although the Blogging for Dummies blog and Dummies Guide to Google Blogger blog are quite helpful, they are sometimes still over my head. They seem to believe that even 'dummies' know CSS coding.)

  1. Ok, now I know who to bug - Dang, how did you get the cool background? I am lucky I figured out how to do a collage from Picasa... this looks so wonderful.
    Now, what are we, chopped liver? Don't forget Elder Tait's blog unless you are not putting on non-public ones...
    LOVE you guys - see you soon, we hope.

  2. Boy o boy do we feel loved. We will gladly accept the kids as family. You two...? We'll think about it.
