I Added Some New Stuff

Notice anything new? Look at my sidebar.........Scroll down............Yeah, there they are!! I am so 'cited!! As previously stated in at least one recent blog, I am hopelessly inept when it comes to most puter stuff. I am learning as I go, mostly by the mistakes, not the successes. I visited several blogs last night, and I saw lots of thingies on some of them I thought I might like to add. So far, the virtual pet, the weather pixie, and the daily bible verse are all I tried to add. I did those in the wee hours of this morning, and it only took me a couple of hours to add them. The hardest part for me is finding where to paste the code in the template. I am scared to death I am going to mess up and delete or change something beyond repair. Well, repair by me, that is. Anyone else could probably click the magic box and say "html pocus" and "POOF", it would be fixed. Me, now, "fix" and "computer" could never rightfully be used in the same sentence. And so, I struggle heedlessly along, fumbling my way haphazardly through
html code, alternately wheezing and panicking, and rejoicing with much "Halelujiah"s when I do manage to get it mostly right.

Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, other than we both appear to be female, resemble the figure in my weather pixie box. Given the fact that the other choices consist of a black girl with dread locks, a blond with long braids, an Asian girl, and several other ethnic and racial choices, the one I settled on was the closest I could come to even nearly looking like me. My profile pic doesn't give any visuals at that resolution, but I have nearly waist-length medium brown hair, (with a lot of "platinum blonde" around my face and elsewhere), wear glasses or occasionally contacts, and I look every bit of my 42 years. They are all painfully thin, and I weigh 300 lb, too. So I did the best I could do with what I had to work with. Family, don't let me catch you laughing at this. ;)

Actually, these weren't too hard to add, and if you are interested, just click on them and it will take you to their web page to sign up and get the codes. They are free, too, or else I wouldn't have them, LOL!!

Also notice, I added a new link, the last one at the bottom of the list, to the National Weather Service map. It shows any severe weather watches, advisories, warnings and bulletins. Click on it and check it out. It covers the entire U.S. mainland, so it covers everyone here in the States.

Supper is imminent--weinies and kraut, cornbread, brown beans and pork chops--so I will post this and another I have already done, and go take care of the business at hand. Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!!
