News Alert

Recently I was notified by my web hosting provider that a switch was about to occur over the holiday weekend. All sites are being shut down for a night as everything is moved over to a new server. This means all email, web logs, web sites, etc. will be offline.

Nothing is ever a good time for that kind of news. So we buckle down and pray heavily it all goes smoothly. If it doesn't, I'm sorry to report it might be a few weeks before I can take care of any fallout and depending on how severe any fallout is, it could be up until the fall. I'm that busy.

I will, even if it means hand coding a basic html page, make an announcement if the delay is that grand.

Have a safe and sane weekend, good people! Happy Independence Day (and let's hope this doesn't mean literally, I have no vested interest or desire in running a server on my own!).

No news is good news, I guess, as it looks like you’re still up and running. I do hope your schedule clears up enough for you to take a deep breath and enjoy some down time when the heat wave finally arrives.

Hi Kathie;
As this is your latest post, I’m guessing you check it the most often. I’m kinda computer illiterate, and some of the terms (language) of blogging just leaves a buzz saw feeling in the top of my head when I contemplate it. I’m acting on advice from another blogg I follow to “stop lurking”. So . .
I’m trying to see posts/responses from other people who follow your blogg. I see this “RSS feed” and got a little nervous when I clicked on it.
Can you talk me through it and tell me what this feed does?

Those are the first 3 hits I got when I Googled “RSS feed what does it do?”

What heat wave? We were in Montana enjoying the 70F temps and the thunderstorms. That’s how my summers always are, off traveling and doing stuff with the kidlets.
