I remembered why I set up this blog, originally called 'Stacks and Ranges,' in the first place. I wanted to create a place to write about what I liked, and if others like them, great! Hard to believe a decade has done by.

Glitches and Clutter
When I log into WordPress, my routine includes checking stats, checking my home page, then checking my drafts. I got this message clicking on 'view site': I put something in the forum, and changed my password. I figured it had a good 5 year run anyway, and lead to another change. This post will mark the 390th … Continue reading Glitches and Clutter
Rev Up Your Writing with Our Blogging U. Challenge
Sometimes I can’t resist a challenge. I have waited with baited fingers to hear about Blogging U. Nothing like a blog challenge to kick off June.
Tally-hoooooo!!!!

2013 in review
Helper monkeys only come with the best websites. No surprise WordPress employs such creatures to help put together their annual report. It's fitting to look over the old year as the new one just turned a little over an hour hold.What will 2014 hold? I have a few vague ideas to put into action. For … Continue reading 2013 in review
Forgo the Minutae, Keep an Eye on the Details
It came down as a choice. Bore people with the minutiae of my recovery, or stay off the blog until I feel a little stronger sitting down. I still can't get back into running yet. I have some sciatica confining itself to the back of my thigh, plus a few minor spasms. I can downplay … Continue reading Forgo the Minutae, Keep an Eye on the Details
Google Reader Soon Goes Good Bye
I have a routine like any other human being on this planet. I get to work, fire up my computer, then have a look at Google Reader for tidbits. (Fatima speak for anything trivial related to work, life, and writing.) On Thursday Google Reader has a news-breaking pop up: Of course I read more to … Continue reading Google Reader Soon Goes Good Bye
I Know What You Mean
After logging into WordPress, I zoom straight the Freshly Pressed section. I may find a new blog to follow, but most of the time the ones by writer usually serve as a pick me up. Usually their downs, along with their ups, helps me to not go over the self-deprecating rails. One blog entry from … Continue reading I Know What You Mean
Tuning Into a Frequency
I get the Daily Post from WordPress in my e-mail to catch up on tips for better writing. One of the best tips, the most simple, yet the most difficult is frequency. I looked at the two badges for 2013 (Post Everyday and Post Every Week) trying to make up my mind what's more realistic. … Continue reading Tuning Into a Frequency
Midweek Geekiness Part Two: Onward
Yes, I saw The Hobbit. Yes, I saw it more than once. Yes, a review is coming. Now that we got that out of the way, a few notable things to mention. How about finally, FINALLY becoming a member of Whedonesque. Whedonesque devotes itself to all things Whedon and his many works. From time to … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness Part Two: Onward
Now It’s Snowing Outside
The best part about WordPress is all the widgets, and other ways to personalize a blog. I can tweak here, or tweak over there, plus feel grateful for some of the HTML training during my Library Tech program. The bad part about WordPress is all those same widgets to tweak over here, or tweak over … Continue reading Now It’s Snowing Outside
