250 Posts

On By Michel McDonaldIn BlogLeave a comment

I finally finished archiving all my old blogs from July 2007 until now.  It took me many hours a day but I finally did it.  Although the 250 includes all the posts I made since I got this new blog system with WordPress.  It doesn’t include this post either lol.

I sent out emails to friends telling them about this and so far 1 person has told me that she saw it and commented that I blog a lot.  That was when I had 150 posts too so I’ve added a lot more since then hehe.  Yeah, I do have a lot of blogs because I have a lot to say.  That is, when it’s just me and my keyboard.  When I am in a room with other people I’m usually speechless.  People say I’m too quiet but just give me a keyboard and I got a lot more to say.

Confusion of Time Zones

WordPress has a different idea of time zones than I normally see.  On the Windows clock in the time zones tab it says “(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)” but in WordPress my time zone is ULC -7.  I don’t know why but I thought we were in +8 which is china lol.  It took me a bit to figure that out and I had to change all the dates and times of my previous posts to reflect the actual time that I posted them.  When I went to make a new post it said today was September 17th and I know it’s the 16th so I was a bit confused lol.  Also it was off by many hours too heh.  Oh well, it’s all fixed.  Now my task is to finish getting as many of my old blogs archived here.

New Blog

I’ve decided to change the way my blog looks.  I wanted it to be cleaner and to be able to add paragraphs and images and with the way my blog was I just wasn’t able to do that.  This will make my blog look a lot better and it archives itself so I don’t have to anymore.  Although I will keep my past archives on the site.

I sure do hope this blog works out.  The last blog program I used just didn’t work out.  I actually preferred my blog to be on the main page of my website but I’d gladly give up that ability to be able to not have to edit after each post to add paragraphs and images.  Also this has a spell checker hehe.

New Blog

I know it’s been awhile since I blogged here. Ever since I found out that I can’t type that much anymore because of my carpal tunnel I just decided not to blog as often. I hate using voice recognition because I can’t write a private email or blog without the world knowing what I’m saying. I do still like my privacy.

Ok now that I just had to dry my desk off I will end this blog. I took a drink from a 1 liter bottle of Lipton Green Tea and went to set it on the desk and it decided it wanted to jump out of the bottle since I put it down to hard on the desk hehe.
