Graduated from Blogger class!

Whee hewww!  Finished all the videos for the Blogger class at Lynda.com. I have to reiterate here that I took this class to have a benchmark to compare the quality and depth of Lynda.com video training in a program I already thought I knew well. So, as expected, I did not learn a lot in [...]

Biting my tongue!

No, I’m not in agony over the review of a Lynda.com video class that I’m about to write.  I’m having a hard time keeping my mouth shut about our upcoming election. So, I’m just going to hand out a little “grandmotherly advice” here though I had no intention of doing so. First, you’re not even [...]

How to strike through your text

Larn’in, learning, all the time, all this learning.  It’s enough to make you forget to get Oldtimer’s disease :) Decided I wanted to make some change in a post over at my Blogger.com weblog by adding a strikethrough or line through some text.  As that’s not something I do everyday, I thought I remembered the [...]

Hence, ergo, thus. But, [...]

First I don’t want to say I’m an American, and now

I hafta admit I’m from South Dakota? I’ve been trying to stay out of politics on this blog.  I didn’t want someone popping in and saying “Yeah but, you used to work for ACORN” which is true but has nothing to do with my current political views. But, I just watched something on YouTube which [...]

Almost my moniversary

I remember celebrating moniversaries or “month anniversaries” with someone special way back when.  I’m almost to that point on my new web log.  I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for almost a whole month.  I feel like I’m just getting a clue and my head is spinning. In the first month of having a WordPress [...]
