I’m dealing with carpal tunnel problems that have brought on by too much time here at the computer. I’m still working on fine tuning this blog and the new church blog. It has been an interesting learning experience.
The change to WordPress has been mostly a positive thing for me. I do miss some Blogger features–things are so easy to do there require a bit more research over here. I miss having the “followers” widget. There is probably a plug-in out there to handle that, but I’ve not found it yet.
The subscribe by e-mail widget is done through Feedburner. I saw one on The Freaky Frugalite, and did a bit of looking to find out how to do it too. Turns out that it was not very difficult at all. Thanks Rebecca.
It has been hot!
Sylvia left a week ago to spend time with family near Jacksonville, Florida. At times this week, it has been warmer here than there. She didn’t go there for the weather–family is what matters, and they’ve been having a good time. Lots of sun and fresh air with long (6 mile) walks each day.
Midnight and I are getting by without her, but we are both ready to have her return. Less than 45 hours, and yes, I am counting. Sylvia makes better menu choices than does Midnight! That is unless you happen to like stinky tuna pate. I don’t make good choices when left alone. Do coffee and pretzels comprise a nutritious meal? What if one adds a handful of peanuts?
I’ve got to get out of here. My wrist hurts from knuckles to elbow. Time for the news. Ugh. A nap would be better.
Regarding Google Friend Connect: I just came across something called LinkyFollowers.com. Saw it at a friend’s blog.
I miss the Google Friend Connect, too. I have not heard of a compatible widget. If you find one, let me know. From what I gather, WordPress bloggers just link to each other in the sidebar. Doing this is actually better than GFC, because linking gives our blogs a bit more klout in search engines and with other blogs.
Sorry to hear about your wrist acting up– gee, just when it seemed you’d come back, too! Well take it easy, k? 🙂
Oh, the boys are home alone!! Uh oh–look out! 🙂 Sounds like lots of naps and hanging out on the recliner watching the races.
Stop by your favorite restaurant one night and bring home leftovers to eat another night. It’s important to eat well, even if Sylvia is not there. It’s tiresome to cook for one, so leftovers might be a good solution. Or make a nice meal one night and save the leftovers for another night. Sometimes, it’s just too much effort to cook for one, isn’t it?
I’m sorry for your wrist. I’ve been eating tuna on purpose these hot days. Just a salad. Hot food doesn’t taste good at all.
Hope you get better, not only for you but ’cause I miss you.
