20070528-Blogger’s Bliss
Finally, I am able to sit down and enter my blogs normally without much interruption. The weather for the whole week of mostly blue skies has been pleasant. There are days with gray clouds in the morning, high winds in the afternoon and soft breezes in the evening.
Nature has more beauty with the surprise visits of bumble on sweat pea bush and honey bee at parakeet cage. Morning doves would sit on the next door neighbor’s antenna and small birds and blue jays would swim in birdbath.
The yellow sunrise would be hot to my left side while driving to and from work and cool to my right as I blog from home. Rain clouds came and went and a free rain wash of my dusty gray Mustang car has been refreshing.
The sylphs of wispy clouds continue to do battle with the trail makers of chemicals in my skies around work and at home. I’ve posted on a one Flikr.com account to show the mess made before by the flyboys and the cleanup made afterwards by fly girls.
Overall, work during the day has slowed down to a crawl with the acquisition by ‘Sickos’. My concern to be working hard as a career woman for someone else and for the rest of my life has left me too. My passion to become a better and semi-retired blogger is my newest career.
Although my drive to perform better to keep my daytime job has dramatically reduced to a snail pace, my afternoon job has been rewarding. I found myself keeping very busy by transferring archives of old blogs from two Yahoo! 360 accounts and two Blogger.com accounts into my new WordPress.com for over one week.
Prior to blog entries made into WordPress.com, I have been posting samples of my poems of haiku in monorhyme into a second Yahoo! 360 account. Poems of haiku in monorhyme are faster and easier as compared to my lengthier ones composed last year in 2006. I am able to enter twice as much data that I normally would with this poetry style.
Based on my opinions and beliefs, my poems would be general rants of why certain issues don’t make sense to me or daily blogs of what has transpired for that particular day’s event. There are topics ranging mostly from business and politics to faith and spirituality. Again, my two main sources of blogging materials are both offline and online.
I have since stopped entries into the second Yahoo! 360 account as of Friday, 18-May-2007 to work on my new blog account. I love the features of Yahoo! 360 account. However, I needed the flexibility to organize my blogs better by categories. And what joy that turned out to be for me after over one year of struggling for this discovery.
This newest WordPress.com account was set up around Tuesday, 15-May-2007. I would sit in front of my personal computer at home upstairs and start retrieving up my archives everyday. Copying was the easiest. The hardest was forcing the ‘html’ coding to my favorite font style of ‘Georgia’ with font size of ‘10′ and with the right amount of spacing in between paragraphs.
I later found out the security reasons prevented users from entering these customized data. Each time I wanted to modify the original published entry, I would encounter surprising addition of code where there originally was non and the repetitive deletion and saving of bad codes.
I managed to get most of my blogs to look the way I want - bigger letters for readability. Some blog entries, however, are left to that default font size that is too small and hard to read. One would need to zoom into pages to avoid eye strain while reading these small prints. I am dismayed that I may not have yet found my ideal (but free) website to post my blogs.
The strive for the perfection of creativity has been taken away from this time consuming feature that could be an easy fix if the website allowed users more control. The compromise for formatting posts and pages is the ability to categorize and create links, much like creating pages for and about a blogger’s horror stories or bliss, whichever the case may be at that time.
