Just to let y’all know, the sites are back up — I think. There are still problems, but they’re mostly functional.

The Facebook page has been deactivated. If you want updates, you’ll have to check here — there’s an RSS feed — but I also don’t know how much longer I’ll be using this blog, either. They’ve “improved” WordPress and changed the entire user interface. Good for them, not so good for me as, as things are now, I’m just not interested in relearning this thing again.

We shall see.

I’ve been getting an unusually high number of emails lately from people who can’t find stuff. I readily admit that all the “What if we did THIS!” ideas have resulted in a labyrinth that’s hard to navigate, even for me and I’m the one who put this stuff here.

Turns out, when they can’t find something, they’re in the wrong section of the site. Don’t you hate it when website goddesses think you should figure this out on your own? Me, too! I’ve always considered this blog section to be the front door, but hardly anyone hits this page first, if at all.

The content management systems (CMS) that I use to try to reign in the chaos are notoriously lacking in search capabilities. Additionally, I remembered the other day that Monica doesn’t favor PDFs because the content might not show in search results. (The PDFs themselves should . . . [Yes! There’s more!]

Well, I was trying to get fancy — actually just consistent, but lately that’s fancy 🙂 — and made a mess of the thumbnails on the Media Library page. No worries! The links still work, it’s just ugly right now and, as luck would have it, I have a very important date. Should be all good by tomorrow. 🙂

So — back in June I figured I’d take a few weeks off and play Farm Town for awhile. One of my game friends asked me if I had quit playing, and that’s when I went back and found it had been quite a long time since I had tended to my farms. Since a big part of progressing in the game is having your friends send you “stuff,” I thought, well I can at least check in every day and send gifts. Well, it didn’t really work out that way.

I got the bug to redesign my farms. Then, as usual, I kept changing my mind. The result was since June I’ve managed to redesign two farms. Good grief. So, at this point, I’m just maintaining what I have done — and making sure I send gifts several times a week.
