How I named my blog

This is a little fun task created by Ruth of synch-ro-ni-zing She is interested in how people came up with the name for their blog.   Quite a few bloggers will be posting their story today – 1.12.09.  I guess I could be one of the first to post as I’m UK time.  Anyway, here’s my [...]

Life is beginning to get back into some sort of order now, though it will never be the same again.   Sindie was such a huge part of our lives, and a huge personality. She will always be missed.
As the post title says, I’m climbing back into the saddle.  I will be getting back to blogging [...]

I’ve arrived!

I won’t bore you with all the details but a new support chap did, in half an hour, what should have been done in the first place.  I am thrilled to tell you (with my flowers) that I am finally at my new cyberhome!  Better still.  They have now made beetle-blog my main domain [...]

Which doodle will it be?

You could see a Happy Bunny Doodle
You could see an Ecstatic Doodle

You could see a Stressed Out Doodle
Or you could just see an error page

I am getting ready to change hosts, and as my new host will be moving my site over for me, it should go smoothly.  I have no idea what to expect, [...]

Yes I am!
If you read my previous post you will know the possible horrors of Wordpress updates, and some of you will know that I have had quite a bit of ‘down’ time with my host.  In fact last night my blog was down again for several hours!    While I was searching for something I [...]

I dread upgrading Wordpress.

I’ve been putting off upgrading my Wordpress for ages.  Every time I post something I see the ‘Update’ message, so tonight I decided I’d better do it.  I use the ‘Automatic Upgrade’ plug-in that makes it a breeze.  Well usually it makes it a breeze.
I carefully followed all the instructions at each stage.  All of [...]

Stress, stress go away!

Do you remember I had to zap my feed reader from all the posts that had queued up?  Well I started afresh and was finding reading and commenting enjoyable and stress free – for a day or two, at least.
I am having major problems with my connection and now it is anything BUT stress free!  [...]

Am I in the dog house?

I’m very sorry that I haven’t been around much lately.  Since we had the health scare it’s been hard for me to get back into blogging and commenting on posts as much as usual.  I’m sure I will soon, but please be patient with me.
I look at my feed list and it’s so daunting at [...]

Goodbye Entrecard.

I have thought long and hard about whether I want to stay with Entrecard.  I have read lots of posts and comments from disgruntled users, and although I do agree with a lot of what they say, I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t my place to say what Entrecard should or shouldn’t do [...]

Last week, something happened and I said to Mo “I’ll blog this”.  A day or so later something else occurred and I said the same thing.  I had plenty of material just waiting for the moment.
When the time came to write the post, my mind went blank.  It’s still blank. It’s been blank for a [...]
