Book’s new/old Transmmog

So you may see many transmog photos from World of Warcraft. With the new update I get to keep old looks without having to keep the actual items. This is Book’s first tier set she collected. She’s had it in her bank since she was level 80. The Valorus Bonescythe set!!!

Blogging 101, Day Six: Publish an “About” Page and Add a Widget

I’ve had an “About” page for a while now.  This did prompt me to recheck it and update it. So check it out.

This theme isn’t conducive for most of the Widgets that I have used in the past.

Blogging 101, day 5 Loving the Theme

Working on blogging 101 again today, Loving your Theme. There’s a problem here. I love themes!!! So many really cool free ones. I almsot wish I could just have a theme rotator. (I know, get my own host and I could set one up.)

Anyway, I think I’m going to keep this one for now. 5

Blogging course, day four assignment

Day 4: Identifying my audience

I followed the guide into Matt’s blog to read about the intrensic value of blogging. He’s the guy who started the whole WordPress movement.

Blogging is harder than it used to be. We’ve gotten better at counting and worse at paying attention to what really counts….

The antidote I’ve found for this is to write for only two people. First, write for yourself, both your present self whose thinking will be clarified by distilling an idea through writing and editing, and your future self who will be able to look back on these words and be reminded of the context in which they were written.

Second, write for a single person who you have in mind as the perfect person to read what you write, almost like a letter, even if they never will, or a person who you’re sure will read it because of a connection you have to them (hi Mom!).

Basically, my own takeaway is to write for yourself and your ideal reader and then leave it be. So many people get obsessed over Re-Tweets, Likes and Shares without caring about starting a dialogue.

Blogging course, day 3 assignment

Day 3 assignment is getting familiar with the WordPress reader.  It’s fairly easy for me as I’ve been reading blogs as long as there has been RSS feeds. Yes, I still morn Google’s closing of Reader which was my favorite reader.The problem for me with WordPress Reader is just that I have to go to the site to read it. Actually that’s the problem with most RSS readers and applications for me. No motivation to check the website.

I’ve got a Feedly account full of feeds, but I haven’t felt motivation to check it in nearly a year.
