I am considering trying out a new theme for this blog. I know, I know, I should not, but I can’t help myself. I get bored with a theme really quickly. As soon as I can’t find anything more to improve on it, I grow tired of it

Anyone got any advice / suggestions? Vote on the poll in the sidebar

Hello

I have to apologize if you are visiting my site today. In the attempt to give my site some more “pizazz” by adding social media buttons in the header I have broken a few things every now and again As you will now know I am not yet a CSS / PHP pro, but at least I am giving it a go!

If you were one of the visitors who experienced errors, strange looking pages, or different themes, I apologize and will try to get things back to normal as soon as possible, hopefully with a bit of a face lift

In the meantime, your patience is very much appreciated!!

Thank you, Dizzy Dee

Yes my phone does have caps, but I’m too lazy to use it I upgraded my phone over the weekend, and one of my conditions for a new phone was a)I should be to update my blog with it, and b)I should be able to do it with ease, hence a qwerty keyboard.

Its definitely not the most time efficient manner in which to do it, but I like it none the less.

I’ll write a longer post on the computer soon, I’m exhausted already!

Okay so I got the message: Everyone is tired of staring at Kleenex boxes!
I have been so busy, and completely demotivated to blog I’ve been struggling to setup a blog at 000Webhost for a friend. After spending hours uploading the Wordpress install files & themes it couldn’t establish a database connection. I then tried the second domain, and after everything was beautifully for a few hours they disabled the account, and its now under review! How crazy is that? There was not even any content on there except a test post?

I went through the exact same process as I had for two other blogs, and they work perfectly fine, but this one I just can get right.

Then tonight, I read in a 000Webhost forum thread that they may have disabled the account because I exceeded the FTP quota? Not too sure how I could have uploaded more than 2000 files, but lets give them the benefit of the doubt. Wouldn’t it be good policy to inform me of this? I guess not, since they’re providing this service free of charge, they don’t owe any one an excuse or explanation. *sigh*

Like they say, nothing in life is free – in this case it’s free, but I’m not sure its worth the hassle?

This blog is now available in a mobile friendly way, because I know you can’t wait till you get to your computer to read my updates

If you go to www.dizzy-dee.com with your mobile phone, you should see a mobile friendly version of my website!

If you try it out, let me know if you have any trouble viewing- it should look something like this

If you would like to do the same, and you’re using Wordpress, you can install the Mippin plugin & activate it – its that simple!

My blog has been neglected for quite a long time now – juts more than a year!!  Even though I know that I have to update my blog regularly in order to keep a good search engine ranking, it is just not as big a priority as the rest of the things in my life.

I find it quite sad, as I easily maintained a 4/10 Page Rank while my blog was still hosted with Wordpress.  However, since moving to my own domain I found it is hard work to get your ranking up, and keep it there!

My work definitely eats the biggest chunk of my day, on top of that I spend quite a lot of time in traffic each day, I have to cook and clean and wash and iron and shop…. and the list goes on.

There are always friends who I need to see, and even that, I don’t do regularly enough.

In my eyes this list pretty much fills up my time, and I cannot fathom how to fit in an extra hour for blogging each day.  Strange thing I noticed though, was that I have some friends who manage to do everything which I do, and more, and they STILL have free time left?

I wonder whether these people ever sleep?  Do they even just take a break, drink a cup of coffee, and read an article in the news paper?  I don’t know, but they’re doing something drastically different from me.

Maybe I should try to take power naps instead of sleeping a whole 8hrs each night?  Maybe I should start combining some of my chores?  Not sure if that would be such a good idea, as we might end up with tile cleaner in the dinner stew…

If you have any advise which works for you, or seem plausible, feel free to share, as I’m extremely frustrated due to the lack of time in my days!
