Where's My Blog Roll?

This morning my husband asked, "Hon! What happened to your list of blogging friends?"

Although he is not interested in blogging, I guess he checks out some of my favorite haunts when he has a few minutes. Who'd've thunk?

He is now aware that my blog roll is under "View My Complete Profile."

This may not be quite as convenient for readers, or for my husband.

But it is great for me. I love this feature recently added to Blogger. When I log into the dashboard , I am able to scroll through the new posts and edit my reading list with ease.

That "editing with ease" may be a problem, as I keep finding more and more blogs that I love to read.

I wish someone would pay me to read blogs. (Isn't that the fantasy? As long as I don't have to put an advertisement on my blog.)

I haven't done too well with the reading part lately, so I guess I wouldn't get paid very much!

I was wondering where it went! When coming here, after commenting, I used to use your handy links to get to other blogging friends' sites, LOL.

Hmm, so which ones are your hubby's favorites?

I have my blog roll on the sidebar. It shows a picture when a new post is up and the subject or whatever. Really makes things easier, but like you...I keep adding to my list and I really need to update with blogs I've made a note to list!

The past two days, I've been running around trying to leave a personal message on as many blogs as possible. That message is:

Happy Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas!

The other thing that Blogger has done right is to add more vowels to their WV, you can now remember the letters much easier because they make up pronounceable words.

Okay, I'll make setting up a blog roll my tech learning challenge for the first of the new year. In the meantime I'll just lurk on some of you smartypants' blogs to see when someone has a new post. I especially like the ones that have the lead in sentence. . .

Actually though I popped by your place today to wish you and yours a very happy holiday, Pamela. Saw from previous posts that you've already started with some fun activities with the grands. All the best in '09.

I prefer Google Reader, there I know when the last post is published and I can put more of Blogger friends in. In the profile it becomes far too long and sometimes it's even confusing !

I could go for being paid to read blogs! lol..

The only bad thing about the blog roll being in your profile is that others don't go there and I know at times I see names on a blog roll and check them out, but when you don't see them you don't think of that. I thought the blog roll was more for the "visitors". (silly me, I've never clicked on my own! but thats cause I have them listed in favorites on my browser and click on them all from there)

I hopy you and your family have a most wonderful Christmas Pam!!

I have yet to discover that wonderful feature - I vow to be a REAL blogger in 2009!

Have a beautiful and MERRY Christmas!

I love the idea of being paid to read blogs ... and I use the 'follow' system on my blogger sites too, but I don't look at the list in the dashboard because it doesn't tell me what I've read and what I've not read ... so I look at it in Google Reader instead.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Hugs and blessings,

I ate your blog roll (too ... Swampy shared) ... right after I ate Baby Jesus. (inside joke from Gingerbread day. My sister, who had finished her gingerbread house and was ready to put her nativity scene in her gingerbread yard demanded: "Where is my Baby Jesus?!?!" Me: "I ate it." It's been a recurring refrain since.)

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
