My Western blog project has been reborn — have a look, but be gentle
I posted here a couple of days ago regarding a writing project I felt compelled to abandon because of possible copyright problems. I “killed” the “Tales of the Old West” site which I’d never done much with.
But out of that death came rebirth (does the term “Phoenix” sound familiar?), and this new project is more […]
Killing a writing project can be like murdering an old friend
I love reading and writing about the “Old West,” that part of American history related to westward expansion, settlement, and “rip roarin’” cowboys and the whole works. You’ll remember from some earlier posts on this site that I’ve even been working (irregularly) on some “Western” novels.

After a month or so, I’m not really in love with the new look for WordPress
For all you bloggers out there who use WordPress, have you switched to the new 2.5.x version yet? It’s been out now about a month — a few days ago they issued a security upgrade so the very latest version is 2.5.1 — and I’m still getting accustomed to the new look and functionality of […]

You can […]
Wow, where have I been for the last few days? Spring catching up with me, I guess
Welcome back — to myself.
I guess the busy-ness of the season, the alternating cold weather and torrential, tornadic downpours — it’s a conspiracy, I tell ya, a conspiracy to keep me offline.
Okay, I’m not the victim of any conspiracy except the conspiracy of time and events we call life. Since I work at maintaining and […]
If you blog with WordPress, be aware of widget woes if you upgrade to 2.5
Just a “heads up” if you blog with WordPress and are considering the upgrade to their newest version 2.5. I upgraded one of my blogs a few days ago.
They have totally messed up the dashboard for using widgets in the new 2.5. I mean wow have they messed it up.
The biggest problem is if you […]
