I got a fun case of food poisoning earlier in the week, and now that I’m feeling better, I’m playing catch-up in a lot of areas. Bear with me.

Yes, I’m still here. I’ve been telling myself how busy I am, what with spring and yard work and new kittens born to “our” stray cat. Then there was my birthday and Mother’s day (and the shawl I very nearly finished for my mom).

The truth is, though, my creativity has been running a bit low lately, and I just couldn’t bring myself to write for the blog, or for anything really. I’ve been getting the itch the last few days though, and I’m hoping that my little hiatus will have me back and feeling inspired.

In short, I’m back.

I’m making some theme changes tonight, so if things look odd for a bit, that’s why.

Update:

Things look okay to me so far. The archives work, and that’s been a problem for ages. If you notice any problems, drop me a note or leave a comment here.

Sorry about being away so long, but I’ve been down with the worst case of the flu I’ve had since I was a kid. I’m still not feeling particularly well, but I wanted everyone to know I’m still here.

I’ll try to get a post up tomorrow, if my head quits hurting long enough.

In case you missed these last year, here are some of the most popular posts on the blog. Enjoy!

The blog seems to be having some issues today. It’s available sporadically, and I’ve turned in a ticket, but I’m not sure what’s up. Please be patient (I’m trying to be, and failing miserably!)

Looks like I may be moving the blog after all, but we’ll see.

I’m working on my Nano goal of 2000 words today, so no more posting until later. I can’t keep a reliable connection anyway. Sorry everyone!

I’m pretty frustrated with my hosting company. My RSS feed is broken again, because they block feedburner IP addresses because feedburner takes up too many resources.

I’m still trying to digest that.

They turn it on and off periodically, which really makes matters worse. As soon as I get used to the feed working again, poof, it’s gone. I have yet another help desk ticket in, but I’m seriously considering moving the blog to another server this weekend.

If it comes to that, I’ll let you know!

–update. RSS is back up!

First off, the RSS feed is down. I think it happened some time last night or this morning, but I’ve had no luck so far fixing it.

Also, I’m experiencing continued issues with the old theme, so I put up another quickly this evening to try to mitigate the problems.

Wish me luck…

We were out of town unexpectedly, so that’s why there haven’t been any recent posts. My cousin isn’t expected to live, and we went to see her. As you can imagine, I haven’t exactly been in a blogging mood.

I’ll try to get some posts up soon. You’ll also see some more theme tweaks in the next few days. Thanks for your patience!
