Play List Added

Published by Tracy on May 17, 2008

Yes … I’m still playing!

I’ve added a Playlist to my sidebar. However, I have the Auto-Start option set to NO, so you won’t be scared out of your whits when you come to my site.

Also, right now, it only has David Cook stuff on it - hehe! I {heart} him!! I’ll be playing with it more and adding more music later!

Garage Sale and Blog Lists!

Published by Tracy on May 17, 2008

I finally got a start on adding a Blogroll for CTMH Consultants - it’s not anywhere near finished, but there’s a good start there! It’s on the right - scroll down to see them all!

I also started a Garage Sale Page on my Blog (the link is at the top of the page). I’ll be adding more things to that page as the days go by! Thanks for looking!

Quick Update!

Published by Tracy on May 15, 2008

Hi everyone!

No, I haven’t forgotten to post.

I’ve tried posting the last 3 nights, but have run into a major problem with my camera. It gets an error every time I try to connect it to my computer via USB cable. It worked last week, but not this week. After hours of testing things, I finally figured out late last night that it has to be my camera. It fails on 2 computers, and everything else USB related (iPod, jump drives, etc) work perfectly fine.

I do have a card slots on my printer, so I can still transfer pictures, but I’m bummed that I have this $350 camera that I bought less than 3 years ago, that is seemingly broke in one aspect now and not worth the money to fix it. UGH! And don’t think for a minute that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind to take this leap!!! But for now, I’m going to hold out … maybe once my car is paid off in September?!?!?! :P

Anyway, I do have some pictures to post and will hopefully get them done tonight.

I’m also working on a Garage Sale page. I have a bunch of old woodie stamps I want to sell, plus some punches and other tools. Figured it was worth a shot, and saves on eBay fees.

And lastly, I’m going to be creating a new section for CTMH Consultant blogs. There are more and more Consultant Blogs these days and I’m really happy to be seeing all the artwork these great Consultants create!

So, a few more changes over the next couple of days! Bear with me!

Another new theme!

Playing with Blog Themes

Published by Tracy on April 20, 2008

Hey everyone,

I’m just playing with my Blog Themes. Bear with me over the next couple of days, I’ll probably be test-driving a couple.

Thanks!

New Widget!

Published by Tracy on March 8, 2008

Hi everyone!

Quick update. I’ve made the switch over to Google Reader over the past few days! I’m really lovin’ it better than Bloglines. You can do so much more with it!

I really started looking into it when Allison over at Stampin’ When I Can started making changes to her Blog and using Google Reader to do a lot of her linking for her. Let me just tell you - it’s GREAT!!! I love how she’s changed things on her Blog to make it easier for her. And through Google Reader, is so easy to see other people’s “Shared Items”.

I’ve added a new Widget to my sidebar that is a list of my Shared Items from Google Reader. If you click on the individual link, it’ll take you to the blog that’s featured, or if you click on Read More, it will take you to my Shared Items page and you’ll see all the items that I’ve shared.

It’s very cool! Have fun!
