Virginia Is For Families

I have been working very hard on my new photoblog  My Foto Buzz dot com.   But yesterday the RSS feed stopped working and I had to delete it and start over.

So I lost most of the readers who had been dialing in with their feeds.  And it would be very helpful if some of you who use StumbleUpon would look at this blog and consider stumbling it.  Just the blog in general and not any particular post.  And, of course, pick up one of the new feeds if you feel like it.

I would really appreciate it.   And thanks.

We need another photo since I have been busy running my mouth lately and leaving the evidence for all to see. So here’s a beach photo because I miss it.

Beach withdrawal can be eased by putting up a photo of the beach and a boy having fun on it. At least I think he is having fun. His boogie board is having fun. The weird face on it looks like it is getting ready to lunch on his arm.

I have modified the new blog a little bit. It’s going to be a photoblog. Just my fav photos. So this is an opportunity to use a dark theme (maybe). There is very little to read and so hopefully readers will not become frustrated with the darkness.

Photos look good on black in my humble opinion. And this theme seems to have been very professionally done. It’s easy to use and most of the stuff is down in the footer.

The overall purpose is to just let my favorite photos have a place to go. Flickr is nice but everything gets thrown into it. You can’t really present your best photos up front without a lot of editing. You can’t put your best foot forward in other words.

Or maybe someone will tell me you can do it. It’s just that I am an idiot. Surprise! A few thousand people beat you to that one.

So I hope you will take a look and tell me what you think. Suggestions are always welcome.

It is called My Foto Buzz

Update/ We are having a good day.  Someone with some potent SU juice apparently touched the collection of opals and set it afire.  But more importantly the beautiful theme I have discovered from the young saintly dude from India had combined with my photos in a way that is very beautiful.  I hope I can say that without sounding pompous.  But it just makes me so happy.  Today I feel like God has reached down and popped me on my chrome domium.  Those days do not come often.

I am enjoying this one very much. And apparently many others are as well for this young blog has suddenly taken off after bouncing along in the dirt the entire time we were at the beach.

It’s Monday Morning and half of The Mamas and The Papas are in heaven waiting for the others to show up so they can begin their reunion tour. I’m looking forward to this but right now it’s just business as usual and try to catch up with the blogging stuff.

My photoblog and the YAPB plugin stopped working. I certainly was not going to be the one to fix it so I reinstalled it which just made matters worse. And so we are back to the old reliable Sadish theme. All the links have been lost and 404 messages are everywhere. Beware of the YAPB plugin if you value your connection to the search engines.

But we can still make some lemonade here. All the photos in PhotoLinklove dot com are now hooked up to Flickr. So those two things are working together. And I am really going to make an effort to expand the poetry there. I find that having great poems by great poets in this blog makes it very likely that I will read them every so often.

If you read a poem once in awhile it starts to grow on you. The meanings inside it start to move down into your mind. It’s like water eventually reaching the roots of a plant and helping it to thrive.

I hope to blossom someday.

But don’t worry. There will be plenty of photos when it happens.

So we will see how that goes. And this morning i wrote a post for NewsLinkLove dot com which I hope you will read. It’s not really funny although it is now in theory part of a humor blog. It is more reflective and hopefully worthwhile.

Here it is and have a great day.
