Blog Your Blessings Sunday

Welcome to Colloquium, redesigned and powered by WordPress!

Today I am thankful that my ordeal with the company from which I originally purchased my domain name is over and this site is not just up and running again, but greatly improved! Do you like the new layout? I think it looks much better, providing more “white space,” easier navigation and faster loading times.

Today is the last day of vacation and I have spent most of it getting all of my posts imported from Blogger, tweaking the layout, etc. I still have some work to do, but I am pleased, overall, with the progress I have made so far.

I am having a great time discovering the features of WordPress and playing with the many widgets available. I even found a widget that makes it possible to include footnotes in posts!¹

I also spent a good portion of the week converting all of my other websites — I create sites for nonprofit organizations — to WordPress blogs which will make it easier to keep the content current because I have enabled other folks to post. It is safe to do so because, unlike with html, they cannot unwittingly alter the layout. The result is a win-win — for me because it lessens the amount of time I have to devote to keeping each site up to date and those organizations because they do not have to wait for me to find time to upload relevant information.

I’m thankful to have important, fulfilling work to return to tomorrow and a lovely office with air conditioning in which to perform that work. I will be spending as much time as possible in water aerobics classes because I did fall “off the wagon” a bit with regard to my fitness regime, especially on July 4th. With vacation over, it is time to get serious about my ongoing quest for optimum health.

And I’m thankful to you for your patience this past week when the site was not accessible. I’m glad that you stopped by today and hope you will return to the new and improved “Colloquium”!

Blessings to you on this sunny Sunday afternoon!
