Happy Blog Day to me!

Happy Blog Day to me!

Happy Blog Day dear Laurie!

Happy Blog Day (and birthday) to me!

I have been blogging for exactly one year!  It’s hard to believe that last year on this day (click to reminisce) I was living in an empty apartment, going to my first day of class and being chased by a homeless man.  Today, I’m not sure what I’ll do just yet (will blog later), but for now, I’m sitting in bed, listening to the ocean.

My first post on my new blog!  I’m so excited!  I think it’s very fancy pantsy and I have to thank Dan for that.  I have been bothering him on a daily basis to get it just right and I’m sure he’s about to strangle me.

Now, a little tour through my new site.  If you look at the top of the page, I have three tabs one is “piictures” which is linked to my new flickr site.  I’ve only been able to get the wedding and honeymoon pictures up so far, but I have plans of doing many more.  Then, there’s “healthii stuff” which is a list of my favorite things that are somewhat healthy.  And last, there’s the “about mii” tab where I give a little introduction and explain my awesome penguin logo!

Down the side is a short introduction, then the archives of my site (in case you are new).  After that, there is a “blogroll” which is a list of links to the other blogs that I read (you should check them out!).  Next is my tag cloud, which are a jumble of words about all of the topics that I write about it.  If you click on one of the words, all of the posts about that word will open.  The larger words have more posts (fun, huh?).  And last, but not least, are my “tweets” from twitter.  I haven’t been to great at keeping up with these, so I’m not sure if they will stay.

Oh, and check out the “share” button at the bottom of each post.  If you click on this, you can share my post (if you are so inclined) on facebook or digg or delicious, or whatever you use… OR you can email it from there OR bookmark it!  It’s a handy button.

One last thing… if you want to comment (Mom) see the little pink ribbon at the bottom of each post.  Usually it says “No Comment” or it might say “1 Comment” or, oh dear, 3 or 4 Comments!  Anyway, click there and leave one.  Getting a comment is sort of like getting a little gift on a day that’s not Christmas.

Now, be sure to bookmark me (Ray) or change my site address in your blogroll (Vicki) or (if you are really fancy) add my RSS feed to your aggregator (Dan)!  Or, you could just visit bugsii.com everyday, which also works!
