Just blogging along - blog help

While I have a quiet moment and am waiting for my new digital camera to show up…can’t wait !!! I was going to put out a couple of thank yous. At the beginning of this blog I said it was my own spot and it was all about discovery learning for me. Compared with the Rolls Royce blogs I am just choofing along, but I have achieved a lot in a short time and I am more than pleased. I figure if each day I’m further along the path to being a better blogger, then I am doing well! I have to thank Bloglines and Blogger because they make organising a blog easy and provide excellent,non patronising support for the clueless. I haven’t graduated to Adobe anything yet so I still use Paintshop Pro and it suits my simple needs and I have mastered a few effects now. This is progress. I also use Canon Easy Webprint and Photostitch and I would be lost without my Arcsoft Photo Impression and Photo Studio. I find all of these programmes allow me to produce something with a bit more individuality and style. Again, they suit my needs.

Problogger
is a site which gave me a heap of clues and tips. Darren Rowse explains things clearly and well and has plenty of ideas to promote a "positive blogging experience"..some jolly good blogging!

superfluousbanter
has supplied the template for my site. I am grateful to the graphic designer Dan Rubin because unlike other templates I have tried I can say my blue one has served me well. The graphics haven’t shut down, the links to my site haven’t vanished, the clock hasn’t walked off elsewhere and the whole thing has been stable, so I can concentrate on all my fine ideas.

Last, but by no means least is my stat counter. I'd be lost without my stats. For those of us who are scientifically and mathematically challenged, it's a non threatening way to beat numerical oppression:
