Moblogging

Whew, I've been going through rough spots lately and feeling completely drained when I get home.

Seriously, if I can't moblog then nothing gets posted. I usually have the energy and time to blog mid afternoon, but can't use the work computer to do so. The challenge with moblogging is that the system I'm using doesn't allow for paragraphed entries or indented/list mode, which makes it a bummer when trying to do a Random Ten, Thursday Thirteen, etc.

I wish I could find a more convenient yet, inexpensive method of moblogging. I don't want to spend more $$$ on moblogging.

Howdy



It's a cool autumn night and here I sit on a cold, hard stadium bench
watching a high school football game. Since the school is closed tomorrow in
observance of Veterans Day, the game is tonight. Emmett's son is an
assistant coach so I am here to show support. How I let Boo talk me into
this I'll never know, especially since we both work tomorrow! I know, stop
SMSing and focus on the game - I am trying. My buns are stiff and I think my
leg's fallen asleep because it feels like tiny, electrifying needles are
running amok.

Talking to a co-worker about the messages today's youth receive from the
media. Her daughter is 13 going on 16 and is slightly chubby. The daughter
gets a lot of grief from her peers about not being thin, not looking the
part, not dressing the way they do, etc. My friend said it's hard trying to
reach her daughter and make her understand that being unique is a gift and
that, while the other girls may be thin - they're also ugly. Her daughter
can always lose weight, but their correction will require surgery!

Which is right in line with the models in this poster. At least one of them has an eating disorder. Another has had some type of plastic surgery. Another has had lipo or botex injections. These are the examples our teens see everyday and these gals are the ones setting the standard for my co-worker's daughter. She is striving to emulate these women, who are not naturally beautiful the way their images are depicted. We need to stress to our girls that these models are chiseled and made to look this well.

Blogger Beta

I have been having fun playing with Blogger Beta and experimenting with color. If you've been here a few times in the last two days you've noticed changes in color and placement, etc.

It is so much easier to change things on the fly and see the results immediately. I wanted more color in my blog and more page elements. Comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

I have yet to edit HTML because CSS pretty much makes that unnecessary. The option to add page elements to the side bar (i.e. photos, text, links, customized HTML, etc.) means you can personalize and customize your blog in infinite ways and I can think of three folks who will use this to their full advantage! LOL


The one thing that's very important to me and that I've taken to doing a lot of is moblogging. I haven't tried posting via cell phone yet and I'm hopeful Blogger will: ~ Stop sending a return SMS alerting me of a successfull/unsuccessful post.
~ Allow me to edit the title/subject after posting.

I'll try moblogging later today as I know the opportunity to do so will arise. I hope I'm happy when I actually view the post on my blog. LOL For now, I'm off to take care of business.....as in shop!
