Blog Testing and Sunset and Moonrise in Color

I noticed recently that one of my posts did not show up in the Reader, which resulted in fewer views. I logged a case with WordPress and after a few denials (I was assured it was there, though I knew it was not) it… Continue Reading “Blog Testing and Sunset and Moonrise in Color”

Cats Seeking Shelter in the Rainy Northwest and Baseball – Revisited!

After a long, cold winter, we have now settled into a typical rainy spring. The garden is loving it and new plants are being thoroughly watered in. Cats seek shelter wherever they can find it, if they are willing to go out at all.… Continue Reading “Cats Seeking Shelter in the Rainy Northwest and Baseball – Revisited!”

Creative Spammers

Like you, I receive dozens of spammy comments on my blog posts daily, and most of the time WordPress classifies them so. It’s giving this Spam a bad name! I found these at the Aloha Bowl Swap Meet in Oahu. Hawaiians love their spam,… Continue Reading “Creative Spammers”

New PC and MS One Drive – Yay or Nay?

I got a new Desktop PC last week and I like it. It’s All-in-One so takes up little space, has all the extra storage I hoped for and it’s fast, really fast. But one thing irks me, and it’s Microsoft’s pushiness with OneDrive. It… Continue Reading “New PC and MS One Drive – Yay or Nay?”

Home Again and Back on the Blog – the Kitties are Happy

It was our first flight of the Covid era and thankfully everything went smoothly. We enjoyed our time in Southern California and returned safely home again. What more could you ask for? Less spam, perhaps? When I logged back onto my blog there were… Continue Reading “Home Again and Back on the Blog – the Kitties are Happy”

Stand Up for Blogging!

Maybe not how you think. In my case it’s a matter of ergonomics. My entire working life I spent in an office, in a chair, with a desk and a computer. Well, actually, I’m old enough to say the computer came later. But I… Continue Reading “Stand Up for Blogging!”

Computer Woes with Benji

“I don’t mean to complain Benji, but technology is failing me badly these days!” “I can see you’ve been frustrated, Sue. Tell me about it.” “Well on the blog front WordPress is getting buggier. Not only does the functionality seem to change daily, even… Continue Reading “Computer Woes with Benji”
