Blog-keeping... and a contest!

You know, like house-keeping… although I confess, I tend to my blog better than my house many days!

I saw a cartoon on someone’s blog last week…

‘If my house is clean, my computer must be broken". 

Oh how truthful!

A few things that I have been working on with my blog that I wanted to tell you about.

First, I added music to the side-bar this morning.  I have debated about that for a long time.  Sometimes, music can distract from the message.  I just wanted to tell you that if you don't like the music you can click on "stop".  You can also move it to a different song.

Does anyone know anything about those music players?  At the moment it isn't even wanting to upload on the blog.  It was working earlier.  Does anyone know if you can add your own music to any of the programs?  Some of the songs I would like to have on there I can't find in their library of music.

I also created "You're Gonna Miss This" photos with each of my kids pictures.  Does anyone know how to create a slide show on the sidebar with these?  None of the programs I have used in the past work the way I want them to.  I want the pictures to automatically play, quietly, and just randomly change.  Any ideas??

Blogger has added a new feature for keeping track of the blogs that you regularly read.  It is called "followers".  I love how one mom handled this, she said, follow me, while I follow HIM.  I agree.  If you are interested in following me, follow Him, click that on the side bar too to sign up.

I've had some people have trouble leaving me comments.  I have now allowed "anonymous" comments on my blog.  You don't need to have a user name or password to leave a comment.  You can sign your name to the comment and I will know who left it!  I hope that helps.

I heart commenter's!  Thinking that another contest is in order for commenters! 

Last week?  The week before?  I was listening to the radio station Star 88.3, where they play "the family name game" a few times a day.  The name they were asking for was anyone with a son or daughter named "Zach"!  I called, and got in! Got on the radio, with a 30 second or so blurb telling them about my son Zach! 

As a prize I got a free CD.  I told them to send me any CD, thinking I have very few CD's.  Well.... I got one that I already own!  What are the odds!  But, it is a very good one!  I've been wanting to give it to someone.  So I am going to give away this CD to the first NEW COMMENTER on this post!!  If you have never commented on my blog before, and you have been a regular reader I want to hear from you and I want to send you this CD!! 

Oh, I didn't tell you which CD it is did I!

Point of Grace, How You Live

You can listen to the title song, or maybe you already are, in my new music!   The song I copied the lyrics to, on the post before this one, is on this cd too.  Fearless Heart.  The Fearless Heart song is one I really want to get on there.  I just don't know how!  Frustrating!

Okay, I think that is all I have for now!  I know my blog is busy with "stuff" on the sides.  One day I may have to get professional help for all my blog clutter!  Oh my!!

Okay, back to the house-cleaning...
