Publishing Gaps
| 4/28/2008 | Posted by Patti under Site News |
Just taking a few minutes to apologize for the gaps in my publishing. Sometimes, my offline life gets a tad hectic and this last month has been an example of that. I’m working hard to meet those commitments and be more regular posting to my blogs. Patience please.
Shadows Has A New Look
| 3/10/2008 | Posted by Patti under Site News |
You may have noticed that Out of the Shadows has taken on a new look. This is the first of my sites to receive this update. I’ll be working on my other sites as I have time. Please feel free to leave your comments on how you like (or not) the new look.
Also, I’ve added a subscription feature so you can sign up to receive my postings via email.
Back Online
| 2/15/2008 | Posted by Patti under Site News |
I’ve not posted to any of my weblogs in the last week. I’ve had to fit the rebuilding of my hard drive into my otherwise busy life. Something had to give and it ended up being my postings. The hard drive that died has been replaced and the new drive is pretty much rebuilt. The only unknown now is if my tech guy can rescue the data off the drive.
Full Posts on Front Page
| 5/21/2007 | Posted by Patti under Site News |
I just spent a couple of hours going back through my archives and discovering that March 2007 and later postings have been mostly truncated where I had inserted the break on the front page of the blog. When you put a lot of thought into the articles you write it is disheartening to discover that a lot of them have been truncated.
All of April & May and a few in March are intact. I suspect that the culprit may have been the gremlin I had to hunt down in the database back in March that was creating a loop which managed to crash my system every time I tried to load this blog to work on it.
SO, as of today, splitting articles will stop on this blog. I had done so to facilitate browsing. It meant you could scan down the page and decide which entries you wanted to see more of. The whole article will now appear on the front page, you’ll need to click through if you’d like to comment on the article.
Gremlins Tracked Down
| 3/30/2007 | Posted by Patti under Site News |
I just spent several days tracking down a gremlin that was crashing my system every time I tried to write a post on this blog. I finally tracked the bugger down and then spent hours removing copies of it from the database. I think, hope, I have it nailed now and can resume regular posting.
Patti’s Network News
| 1/29/2007 | Posted by Patti under Site News |
In the links list under “My Favourites” you’ll see I’ve added a link called “Patti’s Network News”. That is a blog I’ve created over on Blogger as a sort of central clearinghouse of my postings on the various blogs I write on. I’ve come to discover that for some reason, some of my visitors like reading what I write and want to know where else I write. So, by clicking there you can find out. Hope you find something that you enjoy reading. If you do, drop me a comment.
Email Notification
| 10/23/2006 | Posted by Patti under Site News |
I’ve had to remove the email notification feature for those who wanted to be notified by email when I updated. The spammers were loving it, not sure what they figured they would get from it but I was getting a lot of nuisance email when their confirmation emails bounced.
If we (Canada) manages to get through the next 24 hours without a death in Afghanistan, I’ll finally be able to clear the top of my blogs of memorial posts. I don’t begrudge the posts, I do them to commemorate our fallen. I just feel a bit better when there isn’t one there, it means more of our people are staying alive.
Best of Intentions
| 8/2/2006 | Posted by Patti under General, Site News |
I had every intention of getting back to regular postings here but life and death got in the way. My father passed away July 28th. To read more about that you can visit my personal blog: Ides of May.
