And put by some seeds. Food prices going up.

Ellroon,

I've often enjoyed your comments wherever I see them: NTodd's, 4Leg's, Atrios.

If you haven't seen these blogs, I have a feeling you'd enjoy them:

Wonderful snippets from the house of 922 cats and their human:

(You may have seen Lizzie's comments on 4Leg's blog)

Better known as "The Political Cat," a commenter on 4Leg's Blog - also has refreshing comments on 922 Cats and today there was a beautiful post about her garden:

I haven't been posting in my own blog for quite awhile, but I'm getting the itch again after a very busy time. I think I'm going to set it up again, with an easier URL (as a novice blogger, I didn't realize shorter is usually easier to remember, even for me).

I'm especially interested in using the "Labels" feature, as you do - so I'll need to get up to speed on that feature, as well as just the basics of linking to other blog posts.

Hiya Sandy-La 90034! Thanks for the links and welcome to my 'umble abode.

Learning back-asswards about blogging myself. So if you have any questions, maybe I can help make a bigger mess.

First, since it looks like you don't have much in the way of archives and stuff, upgrade to the new superduper version of blogger if you haven't already. They've made it pretty painless and less shriek inducing. There's where you will be given the labels.

I'd put on a sitemeter too, those let you track visitors and see which of your posts attract the most attention, etc. I have one at the bottom of my blog. I also have this blog directory thing which I've never used and should toss when I get around to it...

I still have to be fluent in embeding the links in the highlighted word. I just copy the url and drop it in, rather than using the html.

But...I'm lazy and there's just so much going on!

Ellroon,

Thanks for the info. I had planned to upgrade to the superduper version since I figured that's where the newer stuff like tags is. You've given me some great ideas, which I appreciate!
