But I think I had less than 24 hours of down time and only had to re-upload the photos.  Everything else seems to have loaded fine, and I am really happy with how quick everything in the WordPress Dashboard loads (looks around quickly for some wood to knock on).  Very soon I will be uploading […]

This year, my unofficial New Year’s resolution was to work on being more regular in the release of my blog posts.  I’ve been doing a fairly good job of this, but I am being thwarted by the interface between Word Press and Yahoo!

I hadn’t seen anything like this before, and it struck me as very elegant, and something my little Girly Girl would love, especially if […]
