Well it seems that with no intent at all , I just so happened to have written about others peoples blogs/sites the last couple days. The first one can be seen on here. This is of course my shameless blog promotion of my main site which is Wood Alley. And day before yesterday it just so happened that what I consider to be my ultimate favorite woodworking blog Scrollsaw Goodies and it's writer Travis, just so happened to have started podcasting about his scrolling. Because I really do love his blog so much and really am excited for him and for his readers about his new podcasting venture, I really did want to write about it. I have a whole set of different readers on that site, and it feels good to pass the word around.
Then Yesterday I wrote about TechFlaps/Waves of Technology written by Binish Mathew on this blog in the preceding post (and actually two other posts).
I really do this for only one reason. That is to let my personal friends and family (that mainly are my main readers here on just my day blog) and for my friends and readers in the woodworking community know of blogs/sites that I feel are key to woodworking know about these places.
Since I find myself writing about others blogs I cannot stop with out writing about one more. That would be KING AL'S THOUGHTS OF THE DAY. Albert the writer named his blog well, as this is exactly what it is, simply his thoughts of the day. Unlike the two blog/sites mentioned above that I so enjoy, Albert's blog is not theme based. It has a new and quite different post everyday. He obviously has a lot of readers as he generates a lot of comments, and they too are great fun to read. I found him and his blog thru Blog Catalog, and when I checked his out for the first time there were several things that caught my attention. One being in his header where most people have "about me", He has "almost nothing you ever wanted to know about me" . My thought first thing is humor! I love that. Then when I went on to read almost nothing I ever wanted to know about him, he has listed a love of baseball. That just so happens to be my favorite sport. But the main thing that caught my eye is that this blog is what I was looking for as a blog read. Everyone has their preferences and mine just so happens to be a blog like this. You never know what is going to be written and you never know what kind of comments it will generate. Something quite different every day makes this blog a pleasure to read. So to my family and friends who are reading this , give him and his blog a "check it out thing" you may very well find yourself such as I "checking it out on a daily basis"
PEACE!!!

TechFlaps/Waves of Technology is a blog I have written about twice prior (actually written more about the writer of the blog versus the blog itself)
and today will be no exception. I have always wanted to have a Favicon. The little symbols that you see on your address bar on a particular site. Such as blogger has that fat looking white letter B surrounded by red. Well just day before yesterday I had finally found a site that explained how to do this (in terms I could understand) and I used a Favicon generator to make one for all 3 blogs of mine. As you can see I have my moon fairy on this blog and I was able to place the picture I have always wanted to use for my Wood Alley site as favicons and I was successful in doing this. However I wanted more, yes greed set in, as I wanted to use my animated smiley frog on my other blog This too shall pass (thru).

This frog is by far my personal favorite "feel good" picture that I have found on the internet since I turned a computer on for the first time around 20 months ago. I simply cannot look at this picture (my header picture on my This too shall pass (thru) blog.)without breaking out with a smile. Since it is of jokes and funny pictures, it was without a doubt the perfect header for me to use . I was successful in making it my Favicon for my blog but it was not animated. As far as I am concerned, without the animation , it is just another frog picture.

That is where Binish Mathew of TechFlaps/Waves of Technology comes in. Ever since I have been a follower of his blog I have actually written to him a couple of times. Today when I was still trying to figure out how to make an animated Favicon, I checked his site to see if he had written about the subject. When I had seen that he had not, I wrote a simple letter explaining what I am writing about here. A little later (and I DO mean a little later ) I was shocked to see in my side bar here (I have his blog listed as one of my must read blogs) the title to his newest post was " How to show animated images as blog site favicons. Now of course I clicked on it thinking to myself that this was indeed a coincidence. Much to my surprise he writes about the letter I had written, and goes on to explain how to do exactly what it is I am writing about here. Instead of animating my favicon I just had to write about this first.

Since no names were mentioned I AM assuming he was speaking of my letter, as I would find it really coincidental that someone else wrote with the same question. I just had to write about his blog again. Perhaps I am from the old school, but it means so much to me to be acknowledged by a few than it does to be ignored by several. Plus the fact I have written other blogs with questions etc. and have never even gotton a polite FUCK YOU.

So I just want to publicly thank Binish Mathew of TechFlaps/Waves of Technology for taking the time to explain things and answer questions from just a girl in Pinetown, Ca.

Thanks,

Allison

Your Blog Should Be Red

Your blog is full of intensity and passion. You are very opinionated - and people love or hate you for it. You have the potential to be both a famous and infamous blogger.

I just took this quiz and this was the answer. A little irony for my afternoon. Anyone that has been here before knows that bright red was my original blog color. I am thinkin' what a trip!!!
