Dayum, that's a big headshot

First, dear readers, let me apologize for the massive size of my face, there to the right. If I can figure out how to make it smaller, I will. Otherwise, you just have to stare into the shiny, freckly goodness of my mug. Can you tell that - as my gradmother would say - "I have some Irish in me"?

(P.S. I know that some technical supergeniuses read this - you know who you are. Who do I have to FTP to make that awful picture smaller?*)

The creepy photo is but one of many changes I've made.

You'll find that I've gone back and put most of my archives into categories. Because I love you.

And I've added some links to my blogrolls on the left.

Notably:

Agog and Aghast
Gorgeous, gorgeous site, all the way around. From the design to the writing to the title, I love it all. And I'm not just saying that because she recently said nice things about me.

Rocks and Garbage
Jen and Angela Marie are sisters who maintain this blog that reminds me that, no, I'm not the only person who still references mid-80s Lettermanalia. Their Hot Pockets aren't just cold in the center - they're frozen. They're also the kind of gals who are as generous and thoughtful as I wish I were.

StepBlog
Last year, she became a stepmother to 3 children at once - and she barely drinks at all! She's my hero.

The Ice Floe
Did you know that polar bears are one of the few wild animals who will actually hunt human beings over the course of days or weeks? It's true.

And did you know that the Peripatetic Polar Bear is an amazing writer whose link used to be on my blogroll when I was slumming over at Blogspot, and somehow she got left off when I made the move?

She shouldn't feel bad. I'm terrible at moving. One time I moved and left a dishwasher full of pots, pans and dishes behind. I barely qualify as a grown-up.

Amalah
Smart. Gorgeous. Successful. Lives in the metro area that I would choose, should I ever choose to live in a metro area. She's like the bizarro Me!

Bettie, you are SO CUTE! Your eyes are gorgeous.

I like archives in Categories, it makes it so much easier to navigate.

I love the photo.

Can we have a nice shot of that hot shot husband of yours?

[raehan]

That's a great Mug you got there!! You are beautiful.

Thanks for saying such nice things about me. You are on my bloglines. I am hoping to move my blogroll on out, that's why I didn't bother putting you on it.

Ah, you've got the map of Ireland on your face, girl! (have you heard that one?)

Thanks for the shout out : )

[Mrs Figby]

I think the pic is great!

So how do you go about retroactively categorizing entries in such a way that it doesn't make every post you've ever written show up new on people's bloglines? Because I REALLY need to add categories to my blog, but I have about 11 million posts to file.

[Bettie Bookish]

That is an excellent question, Mrs. Figby. And my stupid answer is that I don't know. I may well have caused rebroadcast of all those archived posts.

Now, excuse me while I go run with scissors.

[Mrs Figby]

Oops! Never mind. Pretend I didn't say anything about rebroadcasted posts. Lalalala!
