Thanks Vera!

how to input a blog roller the EASY way!

Angie Knutson of my four monkeys gave some simple instructions for making a blog roll (they are from an email). you don't know how hard i have tried to figure this one out. she has made it so simple for me (sorry i can't make it as much for you), i want to share it with anyone else with bald spots from the hair pulling (can't help with the nashed teeth but the hair grows back. i promise).

now i have to get inventive to give them to you, as the last time i tried to input the data, everything started scrolling (stop laughing). please read the text below which is struck through...i can't get it out!

You got layout, click on add element, select Add HTML code, and paste it there. The great thing is you can go in and add and move around the order of the buttons whenever you want.

arrowleftcenter arrowrightarrowleftdiv class="textwidget"arrowrightarrowleftmarquee direction="up" width="200" onmouseover="this.stop()" scrollamount="6" onmouseout="this.start()" height="400" align="center">

Sandy: i put two spaces in between each code set (button text) for easy on eyes and ease on problem solving with a particular button.)

this is where the buttons/code text goes

arrowleft/marqueearrowrightarrowleft/divarrowrightarrowleft/center>

ok, arrowleft should be < ... arrowrightarrowleft should be <> ... got it, replace the highlighted words with the correct symbol.

and now we see if it works! i think it does, but if not, let me know your email address and i will send a copy of her email.

heeeellllpppp meeeeee! please!

i think i have about got this linking thing figured out. BUT ...isn't there always...i need help figuring out how to do a blog roll or 3 to make my blog easier to find things on...maybe i need page breaks so i can refer people to different pages. i don't know. 

my brain is fried so i am going to watch some tv and crash! 

nighty night! and don't let the bed bug bite!

what the haaaay!

if you looked at my blog a bit ago or a bit before that or a bit before that... yes, i know you look at this one minute and then again and it has changed again. that is because i keep trying to get it right.

i moved the buttons down because it is easier to see them as a group rather than a stream (well it is for me and it's my blog and i can't figure out that new blog roll that takes up less space...teach me). 

then i started looking at my list of blog sites. i just had to split them up. some of you are only visiting because of one thing. some another. maybe you just want to see who has lots of pictures, who tells really good stories, how does lots of things on knitting, and then where have i found a good site for something i really like on line.  there may be some over laping because some people fall in more than one.

will i ever get this right? probably not. but it will be interesting to see what developes. remember, i warned you, this is a hodgepodge of stuff.

what do you do when you can't afford to travel?

and what is your answer? 

i'm waiting. 

take your time. 

ok. this is what i do. i make my friends, on penalty of death and dismembership (yes, i am a toughie), take pictures of their travels and share them with me...it is altogether better when they have a blog with pictures and stories! 

so if i've missed your travels and neglected your blog...or don't even know you have one (curses), please update me. 

what? 

how will you know i have been there? 

please, what kind of appreciator would i be if i did not make comments? 

that would be rude! my mother of 3 daughters would never approve of those manners! she would have my head in a hand basket for sure.

ps...what is a hand basket...uck, a basket full of hands? 

never mind.

i love the people i meet in ravelry!

feathersong is a lady i have been playing with in 'the herd'. today i went pocking around in her page and on her blog looking for something done with buffalo yarn.  what i found in her blog is a kindred soul who likes flora and fauna as much as i.  and photography....the difference being, she can get them out of her camera and into her blog! (ok, ok, i am working on it!) give her a visit. i will list her here and also in my list of blogs of friends.

have you met my friend, civilbitch, she is a very talented lady! she is a magnificent knitter who's projects you should see. i have included her blog site because i enjoy the mix she writes about. she enjoys so very may things which she so willingly shares.  in person, she is just as great...she was the first to share with me the joys of knit picks needles and magic loop.

suzanne i met at dfw fiberfest...she just has to be cool, she's another army brat! she now lives in georgetown, texas, is on the way to my mom's so i might just have to visit her if we ever can afford the gas! i had such a great time talking to her. i told her how much i enjoy watching spinners at work...soooo very soothing. she (great little sales lady) suggested i learn to get the added soothiness. no, not for me with my fixed ankles. o, yes, says she and starts demoing her mechanical loom! i love her humor and spark! she loves horses which counter acts her thing for cats! with horses you need a jack russel terrier! they are just as good at mousing!
