In response to comment left by my good friend Cat on my last post, I had given the example that I spent about 75% of the time dinkin’ around the back end of my WP install and 25% actually writing up posts. It was at that point that I noticed that I wasn’t far from [...] Read more »

Emma over at It’s Write Now has added a bit of spice to her New Word Monday where every Monday she publishes a new word and it’s definition. Brings to mind the age old Readers Digest, “Increase Your Word Power” series that have worked the minds of folks for decades on end. But you can [...] Read more »

True confession time here. After all, it’s always good to know one’s limitations don’t you think? And this one pertains to my personal blogging effort here and my largest associated fault which is…
