As with each beginning...

There is an end.

As it is with this blog. I am in the process of moving to another blog. I may keep these up for historical sake, but other than this posting, all my writings will occur as follows;

Rasing Dad - new blog site
Gregs Pocketbook - new business site
Facebook me - find me on Wastebook
Gregs Pocketbook - Facebook Page

Until we meet again... Read More...

Layouts

Being new to blogging and its communities, I have to say that putting the link to my blog 'out there', for the first time, gave me pause. I was anxious! I had been playing around with a default template, spending hours changing the layout. 2 or 3 columns? Wide or narrow?

This doesn't even begin to address the number of different thoughts and such that will contribute to different posts. For years to come! I'm sitting here how I want it to look! Isn't that a wee bit backwards?

I"m not so sure of that. Today, perception plays a large(r) role. And at times the message really does get lost. Well, perhaps misplaced then. Something I'd been wanting to finalize was the What's been said..., section. I was comfortable with this area's positioning within the basic layout. I looked into a few different sites that provide content along the lines of just what I wanted this section to be about.

I've decided upon using my own (without necessarily being of my own) sayings/quotations (I have to say though that Robert at just-quotes.com is very helpful. If you need some content along those lines, visit his site). I think I want to keep this area mine.

I think I got the banner right though.

The layout may change somewhat over time, and maybe more often than not for the next while. But I'm looking at blogging with a sense of excitement and anticipation.

See you again soon. Read More...

The second move

The second move in chess can be seen to have a greater effect on the game than the first.

And so this being the second post, I find myself (as I have for the past few days) contemplating just what it is I want to get out of this blog.

Perhaps that in itself is enough for a second post. Read More...
