A Few Changes and a Question

So the big news today is that I've joined Pinterest. You'll find the little red button below on the right if you'd like to "follow me" on it (or whatever the right term is). I'm still figuring it out, so it will take me approximately 97 years to know quite what I'm doing. I'm probably a lot like your great-grandma when it comes to computer stuff. If I ruled the world, I'd just have hundreds of recipes stuck to the walls all around the kitchen (probably with masking tape), but that would raise Kip's blood pressure to approximately 3000/6228, so we're going to give Pinterest a go. It's kind of exciting, really--you see a page you like and just click, "Pin it" and there it is on your little internet bulletin board. Wow. Now if I can just remember my password long enough to... Well, we'll get there.

I'm also rearranging the blog just a bit. I'm considering eliminating the "labels," the "blog archive," and possibly the "Most Popular Posts" from view to clean up the site. Does anybody love or hate those features? If you do, let me know before one or all get the ax.

  1. I like the Blog Archive feature.

    1. Thanks. It's proving to be surprisingly popular.

  2. If blog archive means I can use the search tool, then keep that. I actually use it quite a bit to find a recipe you posted a long time ago that I 'mentally pinned' to come back to later. :) I can take or leave labels.

    1. The search tool stays no matter what. The blog archive is on the bottom right and just has the record of what has been blogged in the year and month.

  3. I'd probably get rid of the labels widget, but not the archive or most popular posts...I'd even suggest going with a two column sidebar and moving the most popular posts up to the top.

    Also: YAY Pinterest!
