Wondering what to do…

February 7, 2010 blogging

I’ve been thinking recently.  A bad idea, I know!
Wondering whether to keep my other blog going or not.
I’ve come to the decision that I’m going to just let it go.
Why?
Two blogs are harder to maintain than one.

Oooh lookie… she wants comments!

January 14, 2010 blogging

Soooo… if you read my other blog (which YOU SHOULD, cause I’m awesome. Not Kelley type Awesome, but still, I’m pretty awesome, right?), you’ll know it’s Delurker’s day here in the world of blogging.
You know what that means? That means I get to ask for comments! Specifically, comments from people who don’t normally comment!

I had been wondering…

November 5, 2009 Ponderings

Recently I’ve been wondering if I did the right thing moving here.

But I miss my friends so much. I miss my friends-who-babysat so much. [...]

How do you decide what to write about?

October 19, 2009 Photography

Are you one of those born organized people who have a schedule and stick to it? Or are you the sort of person who writes when the whim takes you? Do you try to blog every day, or just a few times a week?
What if you’re really struggling to think of a decent post, but [...]

Pondering my bloggy-journey.

October 15, 2009 Ponderings

Just a week ago today I opened up softthistle.net to blog.
In that one week I’ve written a post every day. It’s like I’ve found my bloggy mojo all over again, and I’m loving it.
My fresh start, to go with my new start in life. I can write what I want, when I want, and about [...]

October 8, 2009 blogging

After getting so many comments on my first post (thanks y’all!), I figured I should update you on the plugins that I’ve added to the site over the last 12 hours, so here’s a list, in the order I installed them.

FD Feedburner Plugin. The first thing you should always set up on a new blog, [...]

Hello World!

October 8, 2009 blogging

Welcome to softthistle.net, my new domain, both in name and nature.
This site will be a work in progress as I go along, building it up as I go, so get ready for a (hopefully not too bumpy) journey with me as I go through setting up a new blog, talk about anything and everything, and [...]
