New wordpress stuff

Well I must say I am not too impressed by the changes at wordpress and I hope they get all the glitches and problems fixed soon! I am not able to upload any photos because the box pops up so low on my screen and I am not able to move it up. I have switched one of my blogs over to blogger.com because it was the second site that came up on googling “free blogs” but I hope I don’t have to!! I much prefer wordpress.

Things have been busy around here for sure! I have been doing a lot graphic design for various dog breeders, but lately my hands have been giving me a lot of problems with the long hours and my back as well. I am not sure what I will do with my web design, I LOVE it, and I love doing the Victorian designs the most, however, I am finding it hard to get a good market out there for the Victorian themed designs.  There are a LOT of amazing competition out there!! It just seems such a shame to give up something that I have been doing for many years and toss it aside, but it’s definitly not something I want to make my career.  I would like to continue doing it now and then when I am asked, as a hobby, but other than that I really don’t see how I can keep working steady full time on designs when I am incredibly busy with everything else in my life!

Other than that things have been good. . .struggling as this is the first month my rent went up by $150 and sad because I am still having problems with my soon to be 3 year old. The doctors suspect he may have a form of high functioning autusm called Aspergers. I have been doing a lot of research on it, and I am still not convinced, but he is such a young child too so we will see. . .Let’s just say I definitly have more stress then I can handle right now, so I hope that NOBODY gives me a hard time, please and thank you. :-(

Well it was nice to check in again, but I have really been slacking off when it comes to reading my bloggy friends new posts, I am so far behind I am scared I don’t have the time now! I am so sorry! :-( Anyway hopefully I will catch up sometime this week. My goal is to spend as much time AWAY from the computer as possible so who knows how those two goals with collide. :-)

Sincerely,

Martine

I’m with you - the new WordPress Dashboard is the worst. What genius thought to put the DELETE button next to the SAVE button.

Aaargghh.

Hey MommyPie,

Yes, I am really disappointed. And I am not a huge fan of blogger.com either so I don’t know. . .
I’ll have to come check out your site!

I think WordPress has worked out 99 percent of the kinks.

Uploading pictures from your computer is resolved, and they now have spell check back in.

You can expand your view so you won’t have that tiny window to work with anymore.

My thoughts are with you with your 3 year old. Hope everything works out okay.

Martine,

I hope everything works out with your 3-year-old. Can they do any sort of testing with him to rule this out?
