Tinkering Around

I've been tinkering around with this blog. To the right, you'll see that I've enabled Categories. I still need to look up MT tags to see if there is one that counts categories. I'm also going to be reordering it so that there is only one unique word for main and subcategories. You'll notice that "knitting" appears twice. Not a good thing, especially when you use ecto which doesn't display subcategories as being indented after the parent category. Also, I've shortened the list of recent entries in an effort to control the length of the sidebar. You'll notice that if you select one of the category items, it goes to a non-existent page. I need to figure out how to get these pages to be generated.

Of course, this is an attempt to be "better" organized. Perhaps this year will be the year where I make a significant progress in being organized. [canned laugher in background]

Meanwhile, I've started a small sock project, since I want to see what the fuss is all about the Jaywalker sock. So, here's the basic specs that I'm starting off with:

Pattern: Jaywalker
Designer: Grumperina
Source: MagKnits.com
Yarn: Meilenweit Lana Grossa, I think

Pictures will be posted later when I take a break.

Ah, yes, cyndy, I remember these bookmobiles. There used to be one that would come around to my neighborhood every week or two. At the time my neighborhood was pretty much out in the boondocks, so I guess the county put it on the list of areas to send out bookmobiles to. Then of course, in the late seventies budgets were slashed and caps put on tax levels, and the bookmobiles became a causality. Nowdays, it's a much more urban area and transportation to the library is easier. But there's still nothing like seeing the bookmobile driving into the neighborhood and parking in its usual spot, which was just a block away from my home, and browsing the shelves.

Now, I need to go do what I'm supposed to be doing.

I think the categories and archives should go under the search. My 2¢. :)

I miss the bookmobile. I was a kid who benefitted from it in the early '70s, too. The library system here has a bookmobile, but their route is in the more rural areas. I used to love climbing into a truck filled with books; I wish my kids could have that same experience.
