I just imported some old journals off Blogger and tried to off MSN Live Journal because hey, I like WordPress a lot better than those two. MSN does its own marketing on the blog, and who wants that? Blogger keeps having formatting issues with the program I do my composing in, which ironically is Windows Live Writer. It is great to be able to draft locally on a preformatted page and publish. This method is much better than having to be online when drafting.
So, I don’t know for sure what all is in my old journals, but it is nice to at last consolidate them. I have also put in the entries from my photo blogs since I think the pictures will never import properly into the WordPress blog I am currently trying out for this. It has been crazy to look back and see some of the things that have gone on over the last couple of years.
Also, I am not yet publishing publicly, but I thought I would try out a theme on hand crafting life. It is not about hand crafting everything, but making the things that we use at home rather than buying everything. Some examples are yeast, compost, and things like that. Also, did you know you can double your laundry detergent for a very low price with Soda Crystals? I want to have a place to put everything from the homemade rug from recycled materials, to homemade bread and other recipes. As we set up house anew in America, we are starting from scratch, and we have a chance to chronicle everything we do from the start. I might as well accumulate all the knowledge somewhere.
The kids did a kicking job at clearing up a pile today between the shed and the fence. They are getting it down and ready to move out so that the yard is ready to let go for the move. We will take down the shed this week and deliver it to the guy down the road, and when the rubbish is cleared, there just won’t be much left to clear out from outside. The house is all that’s left! I will miss this house like a guy missed his first car. It was a beast, but it got me through! But, it is most definitely time for an upgrade!
