A New Look and Hopefully….
my blog will keep working now and displaying properly!
Mark, being somewhat of a computer geek, (shhh….don’t tell him I said that!) took pity on me and began doing some research on blogging and such. When I told him all of the pictures displayed fine for me on my laptop and cell phone, he asked me to show him. Sure enough, they were fine. Further research on Mark’s part proved that because my devices are using IE 7 and not the newer version 8, everything was fine. There is a compatability problem with IE 8 and the default WordPress Theme I had been using.
Thus, the newer theme which Mark has already thought about helping me redo to make it a little more attractive!
Phew….I certainly *hope* everything will be a-okay now!
In other events of the days past….Ben was sifting our rocky soil through a coarse screen Sunday evening. He used his hands to rub the soil through the screen, unaware there was a small hole in the screen. He came in the house saying a piece of the wire went through his skin. We called the pediatrician’s emergency number and they told us it should be fine to have a tetanus shot within 48 hours. So, on Monday, he got a shot! (Strange….every time I have ever had a tetanus shot, the pain afterward where the shot was given was nearly unbearable. Ben says he feels NO pain!)
Today, the kids had dental appointments. Busy, busy!
I am posting this after Mark showed me the problems and the fix! Ah, it will be good to get back to the business of blogging once again!

I love the new look! Smart husband….that guy of yours!! And I agree with you on the tetanus shots….they REALLY used to hurt alot…even more so the next day!!
Nice new look indeed. And love the lamp!
And sounds like a very busy few days…here’s to some relaxation. And thank you, as always, for your words of wisdom and comfort on my blog.
[Just to add, it looks great in IE but my Firefox browser is squashing the photo -- darn computers!]
In Firefox this looks really funky. In the IE tab within Firefox I only get about 1/2 of the picture. Almost never use IE on this machine…will check on my laptop later. When I explode the picture, it looks great. Nice flowers by the way. Cool template…sort of sleek…not really you though!
Well, the problem is, on searching through Google, there is a fix for Internet Explorer, but none for Firefox. Not sure why. Upgrades. Arrggggghhhhhh!!!!
Just checked your blog for the first time in a few days. I, too, use Firefox, and have problems seeing your photos — they appear to be vertically stretched. Display is OK when I click to enlarge them though.
I’m using firefox and it looks fine from here. Very funky in fact (the comments at the top are going to take a bit of getting used to!).
I’m viewing in Firefox and it looks fine to me – maybe my eyes see things oddly and are therefore compensating

Firefox appears to have fixed itself overnight: perfect now. Absolutely perfect.
