This is for you, Technorati!

How have I not made my Technorati claim for this blog already?! For shame. JKF4KF494J6Y

Blog Update: New Theme

I really love the Agregado WordPress Theme. It is beautiful. But I’ve had it for over two years now, and I need a change. My site was down for a couple hours tonight while I tried a couple on, but I haven’t found anything I’m in love with yet. When I’m testing a new theme, [...]

It’s Time for a Blogging Break!

Well, I’ve been meaning to write several posts for about a month now and just haven’t had the time, so I decided that I’m way past due in officially declaring that I am taking a blogging break. Let’s say I’ll be back on January 1, 2010, and then if I find time before that, all [...]

What’s New at Linden’s Pensieve: Blocked IPs and Easy-to-Remember Linden URLs

A few things have changed under the hood here at Linden’s Pensieve: I have started blocking spam IP addresses without a second thought, and I have created easy-to-remember URLs for all of the Linden sites you might want to have at quick access.

Linden’s Pensieve is Mobile

Just a quick post to let you know that I have installede a couple plug-ins to make Linden’s Pensieve accessible on mobile devices, thanks to Sarah’s post “2 WordPress Plugins to Mobilize Your Blog.” I’ve tested it on my iPod Touch, but I’d love to hear or see screen shots of the site in Windows Mobile or Opera Mini

Back to Blogging: Where I’ve Been and Where I’m Going

I am sorry that I haven’t been blogging very much, but I’ve been busy since I accomplished NaBloPoMo at the end of November. Here’s what has been demanding my attention over the last couple months.

* Rob and I celebrated Christmas and New Years in Berlin with my in-laws, which included lots of Hasir’s (once with the Fros), wonderfully delicious German

Tuesday with Linden’s Favorite Links: Top Pensieve Posts | 13 Jan 2009

I’ll be writing several posts looking back to 2009 this month (have you read my Top 10 Songs post yet?), and today we’ll revisit some of the best posts on Linden’s Pensieve.

Now, “best” is quite a subjective word. I mean, there are unfounded bests (it’s just a black dress–nothing exciting) and bests we don’t care about (although I’m not making light of personal hygiene). So let me take a few seconds to define how I mean “best” in the context of this post.

What NaBloPoMo Means for My Blogging Future

When I click “Publish” on this post, I will have successfully completed NaBloPoMo. Definitely fun, and definitely challenging. I already looked back over what I have learned during this daily writing adventure, and I think now it’s time to look forward to see how coming up with something to write about every day.

I used to love blogging, and that was back before anyone liked reading my posts. I have actually never stopped enjoying writing blog posts, but the pressures of school and teaching took the joy out posting. And NaBloPoMo has renewed my interest in blogging. With the possible execption of yesterday, I did not have much trouble coming up with posts every day.

Technorati Claim!

I can’t believe I haven’t done this already. Wondering what I’m doing? Here‘s a great explanation. [Technorati Profile]

Why I Chose the Agregado WordPress Theme

After re-reading several articles weighing the pros and cons of WordPress and Blogger, I decided that when I bought my own URL, I was going to go with WordPress.org over Blogger (that’s another post for another day). I was more convinced when I tested out buying a URL through Blogger and found out that you have to buy through GoDaddy*. I have nothing against GoDaddy,
