Freshening The Hold Back Of Queerjoe



I'm e'er opened upward to self-improvement in addition to spider web log reader Leslie mentioned that she was starting to convey problem amongst the size in addition to coloring of the font on the blog.  So things await a flake unlike today.

Web Tools

I rely heavily on ii spider web tools...Blogger (which I occupation to issue this blog) in addition to Weebly which I occupation to issue spider web sites similar The Men's Knitting Retreats.

Both tools instruct inwards incredibly uncomplicated to practise tasks that used to require a LOT to a greater extent than time.  Posting photos, designing a themed spider web site, hypertext linking to some other site, setting upward a uncomplicated store-front/shopping cart functionality, etc.

Years ago, when these kinds of tools weren't available, I shout out upward pedagogy myself php coding thus I could practise forms for the Men's Spring Knitting Retreat.  I can't country you lot how satisfying it was to practise a MySQL database in addition to and thus write code to practise a spider web shape that would populate that database amongst things similar workshop preferences for the guys manage the retreat.

Recently, I've looked at WordPress equally an choice to Weebly in addition to at that topographic point are a issue of reasons why it would locomote a amend tool.  The flexibility of the tool is MUCH greater amongst many to a greater extent than developers adding novel themes in addition to plug-ins all the time.  WordPress also has amend integration amongst other platforms similar Facebook in addition to PayPal.  With the assistance of a friend, I went through installing WordPress in addition to playing around amongst setting upward a spider web site for a novel corporation I'm working on.  Like many things, (including PHP coding), I works life it a flake daunting agreement how themes worked in addition to plug-ins in addition to add-ons.  I works life myself continuously translating damage from WordPress into their equivalent Weebly feature.

After getting a much amend feel nearly what WordPress has to offer, I've decided it's overall easier in addition to skillful plenty to stick amongst Weebly in addition to Blogger equally my spider web site evolution in addition to blogging tools.  I am giving upward some functionality in addition to features, but none that are critical or that I can't practise some reasonable facsimile amongst clever workarounds inwards my electrical current tools.

But boy, it's squeamish to know all that's available inwards a robust spider web site evolution tool similar WordPress...just inwards representative I ever demand it.

Current Knitting

Ho hum...a few to a greater extent than inches completed on the Briar Rose Pullover.



But the squeamish component is that I convey in conclusion started the sleeve hole shaping thus it should deed along a flake to a greater extent than rapidly until I hitting the sleeves component of the project.

This past times Wednesday, Thaddeus together with I got to a greater extent than done earlier 9:00 than nosotros unremarkably produce all day...including 10 minutes to issue in all likelihood the longest spider web log entry I've ever published.

Wed morning, I made together with drank my morn latte, shaved, showered, went to the flea market, went grocery shopping together with and therefore left the household at 8:50 to encounter a friend for breakfast.

Thaddeus was driving together with he knew I needed to acquire dorsum to the household past times 8:50 to move able to brand my breakfast engagement.  When nosotros arrived dwelling household at 8:38, I said, "Great, forthwith I tin ship away issue a spider web log entry earlier I leave!"

Thaddeus was surprised together with didn't genuinely believe that I could issue a spider web log inwards 12 minutes.  He asked me if it was only a affair of publishing an already written spider web log together with I explained that well-nigh of the spider web log was created already, but I e'er hold off until the concluding infinitesimal to add together the "Current Knitting" department of the blog.  So I withal had to cause got photos of my WsIP, edit them, post them to the spider web log together with depict my progress.  I also needed to post the novel spider web log link to Facebook amongst an intriguing "hook" to acquire to a greater extent than people to click on it!

It genuinely took me xiii minutes to produce all that on Wed morn together with I was a infinitesimal belatedly to encounter my friend for breakfast.

My friend does a lot of spider web site pattern together with evolution every bit purpose of his work, together with he kindly offered to assist me convert my spider web log to WordPress if I ever decided to produce that.

His offering made me realize quite how tardily it has popular off to utilisation the Blogger platform for blogging together with how much it would cause got to larn a novel agency of doing things.  But to challenge myself, I may produce that anyway together with and therefore I'd move MasterBlogger on TWO dissimilar blogging platforms!

As amongst the start Old Shale Wrap, I played yarn chicken amongst this one, but lost...so it required me to rip out a few rows earlier binding off.

Otherwise, I'd move a footling fleck farther along on my side past times side Old Shale Wrap.
