A New Look

Wednesday, December 1, 2004

Instead of maintaining a separate “blog” for my knitting, I’ve combined it with my main site. For now, it will look the same. I may give it a separate layout at some point. I’ve got a fabulous little knitting gallery that I think will work well. As you can see by the credit, I’ve switched to Textpattern. I like the interface, I like the small footprint and I love instant results (no rebuilding). I will probably stay here for a while. None of the old posts have been converted. With the new year, I plan to start with new posts. So all new content will be posted. This setup will work well for me for now, since I haven’t been knitting as much and probably won’t be posting too many knitting entries.

Update: 12/14/2004 - I added back all old posts from the past year. I missed having all my knitting posts here so have fun browsing through my trials of Knitting Year 1.

Wow, It’s Been a Long Time

Friday, September 10, 2004

It’s been a while since I posted. I’ve been so busy, that I haven’t had much time to knit lately. With 2 hurricanes hitting Florida within a month, things have been pretty hectic. No, they haven’t hit me, but 98% of my family lives in Florida, so some of them were bound to get hit. I’ve started back up some and I hope to get back to it regularly. I haven’t really made much progress on anything beyond the one strip of my country afghan. But hopefully I can get on the ball again. I just wanted to post that I haven’t forgotten about this website. It’s just been a crazy summer. My regular blog hasn’t had many updates either lately. Hopefully that will change.

Switched

Tuesday, July 13, 2004

If you haven’t noticed already, I’ve switched back to “Movable Type”:http://www.movabletype.org. I felt it was a better choice for what I wanted to do. So far, I’m happy that I switched back, even though I miss not having to rebuild. Oh well. Each system has it’s own pros and cons and you just have to weigh them out and see which fits you better. So here it is. I hope to fix up my gallery of completed projects in the next couple of weeks. I like what “Becky”:http://countrygirlzine.us has done with her gallery, but I’m not sure I like that layout.

In knitting news, I haven’t been knitting much since I’ve been trying to get my website all set up. But I have managed to finish a few more crochet squares for my afghan. I think I only have about 10 or 11 more to go. I can’t wait to get it finished. I just need to quit doing other useless stuff and get knitting. LOL!
