Learning WordPress

Posted on June 18, 2011 by Lea

It’s been a long couple of weeks but I’m slowly catching on. I’ve got a few plugins activated which are really cool and am getting more comfortable navigating WordPress. Next comes the template which needs a lot of work but I’m going to tackle that one step at a time. I started a course on WordPress this morning which has been really helpful.

When I have a little time and if anyone is interested I’m going to format a post about what I learned when switching from Blogger (GoDaddy) domain to WordPress hosted by Blue Host which has been excellent to deal with so far. It was at times a frustrating experience and I had to dig for information from several venues, mainly because GoDaddy doesn’t have any central resource to access information.

My turn is coming up to gush to one of my favorite author’s in the Author Fan Letter Blog Crawl and I’m pretty excited! I’ve got the post somewhat constructed and hope to get my letter started tonight. I’ve spent all of today cleaning and fiddling with the Blog. Chris once said to me when you open a blog it’s like a new toy – all shiny and new and then the shine wears off. LOL I feel like I have another shiny new toy to play with!!

Then there is getting back to doing a little blog hopping which I know is a must.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!

Well, Tori & I Have New Diggs… But

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Lea

Things are looking pretty trashy right now & I’ve not been able to import all my posts from Blogger yet. It’s a little dicey because I have so much to learn – but we will get there–in about 6 to 8 months probably.. Yikes..

Man, why did I start this? Another one of my hair brained ideas I guess.

Secret HEA Society

Today I’m over at The Secret HEA Society rambling about HEA’s. :-)

Man this template is going to drive me NUTS – I’ll probably end up calling in a pro.. Painful I tell you – Pain ful O.O

Author Fan Letter Blog Crawl

Posted on May 21, 2011 by Lea

Hi Everyone!

Well I’m scraping the barnacles of Closetreader today to give a shout out about the Author Fan Letter Blog Crawl that the lovely Kassa has spearheaded again this year. I totally enjoyed the event last year and decided to join in on the fun. I’ve already decided which author I’m going to gush over this year but of course haven’t started my letter yet because in true Lea style it will likely be a last minute venture. *rolling eyes*

Tori & I are enjoying a lovely long weekend here in Toronto and I’m deep into reading a really good book. Tori hasn’t been too well lately but I’m nursing her along under veterinary supervision and hoping we can get everything sorted out soon. She has never been 100% after her surgery last year and the changing weather which has been extremely damp this year seems to particularly bother her. The vet and I both think it’s arthritis in her knee but we are soldiering along. She has also developed a chronic skin problem which I’m treating – I know. *sigh*

I’ve been posting book reviews and Author interviews over at BLI these days & continuing to contribute at DIK, but for the most part I’ve returned to reading which is what I love. It seemed for a while there I was spending too much time online and coupled with career and home life I was unable to fit in my books. Something had to go and I’ve had to make some tough choices with regard to time spent blog hopping and social networking. I’m actually much happier and would so like to reach my goal of reading 100 books this year (although am not stressing about it). However, I’m not ready to close Closetreader completely yet and hope to post here from time to time along with updating the sidebars etc.

Well, I’m rambling and I’m going to get back to my current read and enjoy the rest of the weekend. I hope you all have a great one too!

And,

Operation Auction went live yesterday. If you haven’t heard of this event please note the details noted below and click on the link.

Fatin has been an integral part of the romance community for years – she owns and runs the RR@H Novel Thoughts and Book Talk blog, is an administrator of the WriteMinded loop, an author assistant and a tireless advocate for romance novels. She is also a friend to many in this community.

On Tuesday, March 8th, she lost her husband in a senseless act of violence, leaving her alone with four children. You can read more about the tragedy here.

The romance community would like to rally around her. Therefore, we will be holding auctions on ebay the last week of March.

Have a great day and week everyone!
