Additional changes and blog housekeeping

Welcome back! Coffee's always on around here. Pull up your favorite chair and a grab a cup. Enjoy your visit today! And don't forget to stop back by again soon.

Just wanted to note some additional changes and housekeeping that will be taking place in the next few days as I adjust things to the new theme.

There are some pictures on older posts which aren’t formatting properly so I’ll be updating those and adding captions where I can.

If you notice anything else broken or odd looking, please contact me and let me know.

This theme is meant to have only excerpts on the home page and although I’ve been seriously opposed to that (and basically still am), I’m going to give it a try and see what happens. It should NOT affect anything in the RSS feed, though, and if you read my blog in a reader, you should still get full posts. (THAT is one thing I will NEVER change! I hate excerpts in feeds!)

I’m also going to be adding a couple of new plugins that will allow more options. One of those is a header rotator. That way, each time a page is refreshed, you’ll get a different header. It keeps things fun and exciting! I plan to have the current header plus 3-4 more. So, not too many – just enough to add variety.

And you may find some colors changing over the course of the next few days. I installed a plugin yesterday that highlights my comments whenever I reply to comments on a post and right now, I’ve got it set to a light blue. While I like it, I’m not sure it’s the best fit. So, I’m going to play around with that color and possibly the page background color.

There are also some widgets that SHOULD be showing up in the right sidebar which aren’t. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why. But hopefully that issue will be resolved soon too.

On another note, look for a new Around the Web post this week as well as a new Reading List. I haven’t done either of those for quite some time and that’s got to change! They’re 2 of the most popular things on this blog and I enjoy writing them as well.

Let me see . . .

Oh! More posts coming up on recent events including The Teenagers NJROTC Annual Inspection and Parade that took place a few weeks ago (with pics!) plus some new wallpapers for March that I think you’ll like.

Okay, I think that’s it for now. I hope you’re having a wonderful day wherever you are. It’s overcast and windy here in Seattle but I’m feeling much better today – except I seem to have lost my voice – but for feeling better, I’m very thankful!
