So, I am a technical moron (not to be confused with “technically a moron”), but I swear to you that this code worked for me. But I think I am in the minority. I need to offer Dick some exotic connubial favors to help me with it I guess, and yes, I’ll be putting it on the sidebar sometime (or trying to, anyway ).

For some reason I couldn’t get your button code to work on my blog in html. I added the picture and link manually, but I thought I would let you know. Also, is there a grab spot on your sidebar, or do you have to come back to this post to get the code?

Thank YOU, Renae. (And let me know if you still want these tomato plants. They are ready for transplant!)

I think it would be much easier if I could show you, rather than tell you how to put in a button. Come over and we can do it in 3 minutes.

I love the new header, too. It’s beautiful! I don’t know how to display one of your buttons. Can you walk me through that in a simple, non-techy way?

I also have to say that when you shared your blogging experiences with the church ladies in Seagull Fountain, you inspired several individuals, including me, to create their own blogs. Besides that, your site sets a great example for us all: passionate, funny, insightful, interesting, and informative! Thanks so much for all that and more.

One of the things I learned about design was that when I say I like “minimal” I’m referring to simplicity of structures and fewer lines, but that I do like a saturation of warm/deep/bold/relaxing colors. So not a minimal palette of color, but a minimal instrusion of structure. (I know, that probably doesn’t make any sense to a real Artiste.:)

What About Bob? scares/saddens me a bit. Groundhog Day is incredibly inspiring, I think.

What august company for my humble button/blog!

(Sorry about the html. It’s okay code as far as I can tell. My husband says to make sure you’re putting it in the html editor rather than the visual one. I’m sure you are, though

I wish! (Actually, we made inquiries about buying “whataboutmom.com” but didn’t get a response. I own(ed) “whataboutmomblog.com”).

Also, I didn’t exactly get bored, well maybe kinda. I don’t know. It was a hard decision, something I considered for months, and then one day I just did it. Then I felt all sad and disloyal. But anyway. Enough navel-gazing, right?

Thanks for reading!

help! the html isn’t picking up right (i know, i’m not using techy lingo) and I can’t see your button on my blog. I have you alongside nie and tamn.

I love how you weaved so elegantly the similarities between Bob and moms. It’s so true. but it’s not sad, it’s reality. And it doesn’t hurt to try a little harder every day to make ourselves better.

thanks for your post. hopefully i’ll get your button figured out soon!

Here I was imagining how you’d sold your old domain name for some outrageous fortune when you were just really bored all along. I have your name on my sidebar as your old handle, I just barely found you a couple of weeks ago and I’m too fond of the old title to change it just yet.
And, as for the rest of the post, it’s true we are all mostly creatures of habit. However, there’s a time and a season for everything right? You could have an expanded resume, but not have three beautiful daughters or the relationship you have with them, etc. You get my drift…

I love the retro look of the buttons! And Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies, though I never figured out why, like that.
