Replaced with the clean gray one. So this is the main blog. Nothing is hiding.

And I’m with you. The daily posts seem overwhelming to me. Not to produce but to view.

It was the simplest one I could find. Guess that’s why it’s titled “Simple template”.

I’ve looked for the feature to swap the banner image on reload but that doesn’t appear to be an option. I’ll explore further.

And I hesitate to post the short content frequently because the longer stories would quickly disappear from view I fear. So I am going to consolidate them weekly on the blog and let those who want them daily get them via Twitter. (I wrote that just to piss off Conchscooter)

Right now the thought of having to maintain a separate blog for Junior just is too much to think about. I would rather integrate him here. And if I ever get a sidecar—watchout!

But that could change too.

Thanks so much for your kind words and advice. I really appreciate them.

I picked a new Blogger template. I was tired of the old blue site. But all the content is here. Really. You’ll be ok. Go down to the garage and sit on the K bike for awhile. You’ll feel better.

The only blog. Well, I have a test blog that I use to test things out once in awhile but don’t post anything there.

So just keep coming back.

I am going to consolidate them into one weekly post though. Otherwise the blog will get too busy for my taste.

This morning I went out the front door to check how it looked and almost slipped on the front step. Of course, the roads turned out to be fine and it was a pretty nice day…

Better than putting it down in a corner.

I’m confused too . . . doesn’t take much. I don’t know if I could keep up with a post a day either

Is your main blog hiding ?

* Love the new theme! The shades of warm gray are complimented nicely by the links’ and headlines’ orange. Nice new masthead, too. If Blogger offers you the capability, having it shuffle images would work; as long as ‘Scooter in the Sticks’ is in that same typeface, it gets the point across.

* Nothing wrong with posting daily, for whatever reason. The only reason I don’t do it is because I don’t have enough to write about, in no small part because I don’t currently have enough juice to get free stuff from manufacturers. Among other reasons.

* I think Junior’s ready for prime time—he should get his own blog. Lots of pets have blogs; lots of Americans fetishize their pets. Seattleites in particular would project all kinds of things onto him. And it would be easy—a picture or two, and a paragraph of explanation, if necessary, per post. That ‘do I get a cookie now?’ look would just bowl people over. You could probably generate a revenue stream from “Doggie in the Sticks” or whatever you decide to call it.

FWIW,

I just went to the usual link and now I discover it is not the usual link. What the hell?

Fondest regards,
Jack
