Globally Recognized Ass-Kicking

I wasn’t going to post again until Monday to remain all mysterious and such and see if my last post would break 40 comments but I must interrupt my planned shallowness to tell you my Gravatar‘s working!  MY GRAVATAR”S WORKING!!!  Yay!  It’s really a dream come true.  Still a bit unsure about My Big Eye but wtf. 

(If anyone wants Gravatar guidance in WordPress, I’m your Jan!)

Plus, I now know how to put a picture in my sidebar, (as you can palinly see.)  (OMG. Palin-ly see!  I kid thee not.  I did not plan that.)

Yes, Bulldog, my bords on a wire never cease.

And… I learned how to change the background color on here today, not exactly what I had in mind as I was aiming to see the “Starry” GIF I stole from John McCain’s site create a nice pattern along either side of the body of this site.   Oh well.  Can’t have everything in one day.

Yours in loving mysteriosity…

Oh, here’s Kelly from yesterday at 6:15 p.m. after I interrupted her Goosebumps show to have her put on her Halloween dress for some pictures on the front walkway while the natural light was still relatively good.   (And I probably should read my camera’s booklet (Thanks, Barbara!) to learn how to use it better.)  You might get a sharper image if you click on them.

Unsubscribed, Baby!

This week I took action and unsubscribed from about 50 companies’ mailing lists I’d let build up over time.  And boy do I feel great, having freed my energies for more meaningful pursuits like rooftoop yodeling and knitting with kelp.   

Was more than high time to part ways with ghosts of the past like One Step Ahead, Bare Minerals, South Beach diet (so over that,)  Amazon.com, etc.

And Jim’s online trading companies.  Sorry Honey, but you haven’t used those sites in ages,  same for your Voice 123s.  Don’t be mad.  I was purging – letting in lightness and air.  Simplifying!  Can’t you feel a weight lifting now too?  (Please note I did lovingly leave your Woodie Wagons and Old Fords e-mails intact.  Knew better than to mess with those. Oy vey.)

No such luck with spam tho.  Viagra, aarrrg – so sick of those mails.   Millions waiting for me in Nigeria.  Canadian meds too, (altho a valium fuzz does sound tempting now and then.)  Can’t get rid of ’em all, I guess.

Have you unsubscribed lately?  It’s almost as satisfying as chasing a three-legged goat.  (I’m a four-time World Champion 3-legged goat wrangler.  Love it!)

In all humility…

I’m so kicking ass with figuring out this WordPress thing and it’s only been, what – 5 days since I finally took the plunge? 

I’ve even been learning how to edit HTML by trial and error! 

Who knew?

Admittedly, the man who designed the theme is a real sweetie and has helped me via email some, so I’m not doing it all on my own, but still, I’m really getting right in there and bustin’ some code butt today.

Now, to get my Google ads back and start making that $1.75 a day again! 

Whee-hoo.

Jannie, finally with comments !!!

Yes sir, that’s our baby!!  (She turned seven last week and had to take her youngest-songwriting-contest-entrant-to-date trophy to her birthday dinner – naturellement.)

Yay, I did it!  Jannie with WordPress.  Who knew?  

It’s all quite overwhelming and humbling as I am a total WordPress initiate but I’m raring to learn how to work this thing and get JannieFunster.com restored to, if not even to surpass, the former glory I had attained on my old suckass server  blog  W/O comments.

I’m so happy!!  Even with these mosquitoes biting my arms.

Now… how do I change designs,  put up necessities like my banner, larger jpegs in the posts, Google ads, accent photos, my McCain/ Palin jpeg, widgets, song Mp3s, free downloads, separate pages, archives, Youtube clips, etc?  How do I change the font and its color?  How do I get my background of blue stars back?

It’s all good.  Except for the bad stuff.  And the bad stuff won’t really matter in the end, will it?
