Up a Mountain

Rainbow from my back door

I only just got home. We spent the long weekend through Tuesday hiking in the White Mountains of Maine, like we did last year.  Look for a leaf peeping post next week, once I weed through the photos.

Good news: my watercolor sold in the first minute of the 10X10 Art Show. There were long lines outside all 3 venues. Plenty more paintings are still up and available for purchase through the end of the month to benefit Arts Are Elementary.

Blog Watch:

• Check out the kitty fixing a printer @troutbirder.  I’ve been having computer problems, does she do house calls?

• On the funny animal theme, Cheffie Mom@Dishing with Debbie has frogs in her toilet.  Life just hopped up: Debbie also landed a newspaper column.  Congratulations, Debbie!

• Each Little World posted a link to a site, the Book Depository, that allows you to order a book printed in the UK and will ship to anyplace in the world for free.  I haven’t checked it out myself. 

• Bid a sad farewell and thank you to David@authorblog.  His “Post of the Day” was like my “Blog Watch.”  He shall be missed in the blogger community as he’s brought so many of us together.  David is quitting blogging to write more novels.  Good luck, David!

Google Blogger Posting Tip:

If you switch to the updated editor, as I recommended 2 weeks ago, you might also need to upgrade your template.  My “Minima” template was cropping my photos.  Switching to “Minima Stretch” kept a similar look but with full frame images.   The other cool feature is the reader can stretch or condense the post width.  You can preview a new template without changing your current settings:

1. Dashboard
2. Layout
3. Choose New Template
4. Minima Stretch
5. preview template
