Some changes
August 13, 2007
I’m nearing the two-year anniversary of this website, which doesn’t really mean much of anything, especially since I usually avoid the milestones of actual relationships.
However! I wanted to turn things around a little bit.
I was invited to join the ranks of BlogHer, which is now sponsoring this website, which is especially great, since they don’t tell me what to say or how to say it. They’re kind of just there, a surrogate mother, to maybe cover my hosting once in a while. And make my bed.
I feel pretty good about it, being a part of it all, since I learned pretty much everything about blogging from names such as Heather Armstrong and Eden Marriott Kennedy, and I always related these women, and other online idols, with the organization.
Besides all that though, now my front page has more stuff, and I’m a big fan of clutter.
More (extremely) important things:
We had a massive power outage here a few days ago (microbursts, again?) and a lot of the local food-related businesses have been cleaning out their stock since refrigeration is down. And while it sucks for the businesses, who will have to re-buy everything, my home never lost power, and we got a massive (as in, bigger than freezer) brownie tray from Dairy Queen, which will probably feed me for the next three years.
I watched Freedom Writers yesterday and cried. Then I watched The Crucible and cried. Then I watched Disturbia and fell asleep.
I think I love Becca.

Oh my gosh! That’s awesome! Congratulations!
2 years? Jeeze. Once you make it past 1, that’s a blogging accomplishment.
Disturbia? I know. Wasn’t it the worst?

I’m extremely proud of you. Blogher? Wow.
Now you HAVE to go to the conventions.

I’m jealous! And excited for you!
And the masthead? too cool.

The new header is very suiting. Aren’t you the professional?(:
Power outage: lucky.

Part of me wants to see Freedom Writers and part of me is like, it was better when it was Dangerous Minds. Congrats on the blogher deal!
