Glass Shape

Teehee.

Isn't he cute? 

Many of the lamp workers and enamelers probably have these little shapes all over their work spaces. But this one is so perfectly, er, ummm, well, he's perfectly this shape and it just makes me giggle every time I see him.

New things I learned after only 5 YEARS of blogging

I just embarrass myself.

So I couldn't figure out how some of you knew when I posted a new post.

I'm like "How on earth do they respond so quickly?"

Uhhhh, duh. The "subscribe to" button gadget I inserted myself.

 (When you go to your dashboard for blogger, click  the Settings tab. Then click the Design tab. You should be on a page that shows the lay out of your blog with a clickable link that says "ADD A GADGET". Click that and you can look for gadgets that install on your blog. One of them is the "Subscription Link" button.)

And then some of you would answer me over email. But how? When you leave comments on my blog I do not see your email address, so how do you know mine?

Again, Dur/Head Slap!

In settings under comments, you can choose to be alerted of new comments through your email. When you get an email, you get their email and you can respond in a personal way to any questions or what have you. (Which I really try to do but they quickly overwhelm my inbox and I can't leave emails up in my inbox, it's like an ODC thing, where I have to respond, file or delete or I feel the world is closing in on me and I run, run, run as fast as I can away from the computer, away from made up expectations, away from, wait, where was I?)

And the last thing I recently learned after blogging for 5 years?

You're going to laugh....

How to schedule a blog post!

I know, like I said, I embarrass myself.

There is a button under your new post that says POST OPTIONS.

Click and you are given OPTIONS to schedule a post. Set the date and time BUT make sure you hit PUBLISH otherwise it doesn't publish your scheduled post. Learned that the hard way.

Never will I miss posting something like Pinky's kindergarten graduation because I got busy and it passed, or other timely things that mean a lot to me but zoom on by without a chance to express my feeeeeeelllliiiiiings.

Right now I have 10, yes, 10! blog posts scheduled. They are in various stages of readiness; some are waiting for the perfect light to take pictures in, others are waiting for me to do the research and copy the links. But I am PREPARED.

This feels good.

you must make time for this

This is something I found following an online polymer clay trail, I ended up at this blog (because of a goblin sculpture) and when I clicked this link

I found myself laughing out loud to the comments under the already funny signs.
Enjoy!
