Nag, nag, nag....

[allana]

Apparently, if you want me to do something... all you need to is nag and throw in a little hit of guilt too. After a few "We miss you!" emails, it looks like I'll be re-entering the food blogging world, and possibly with Wordpress instead of Movable Type as I am FED UP of comment and fucking referrer spam. I am currently being seduced by Wordpress' sexy interface which I am drooling over courtesy of heliotic who kindly threw up a copy on one of his servers for me to play with. So much nicer than Movable Type. The only thing which I can't see, thus far, is a photo upload facility. I will dive into the murky depths of the manual this afternoon after driving.

I'm also contemplating taking an arty picture of a sugar bowl, and a spoon--for the banner at the top. The site feels like it needs a makeover. Um, some new content wouldn't hurt too :P (Don't think I can't hear you heckling at the back, Dave!) Plenty to play with. Once my site bandwidth resets. Bastards!

Now to figure out how to juggle writing, food blogging, cooking, housework, and general entertainment! This should be amusing....

Which is better than using reverse psychology :D. Ah, the good old guilt trip...

Your food blog is a dangerous place, especially at dinner time, you know that, right? :D

My blog was Wordpress. There's definitely a file upload facility. I wish I could be brilliant and tell you exactly where it is and save you some time, but it's been sooooo loooong. I do believe you can find it without having to wade through the manual (there's a manual?). I liked Wordpress. Nice program.

It's only dangerous when it has something tempting on the first page... instead of a blank page :)

Making my own banner is already resulting in some quality hair-pulling. Oh well. I knew it would....

Aha, it does! You have to enable it in Options/Miscellaneous. Cool! Now I just have to sort out the looks and wait for my bandwidth to reset. Marvellous.

You can do it all. I have every confidence in you!

Have fun reworking your site. ::trying to ignore niggling little demons poking at me to redo several areas of my website::

Oooh I like the idea of the arty pic of the sugar bowl! :D

I wonder if I should get a similar arty pic with different subject matter for my blog :| hmmmmmm

I'll have to look into Wordpress. I'm still completely new to the world of lj. I feel like such a newbie...sigh...haven't had this feeling in a long time. 'Tis nice that I can still be new at something...

This food blogging sounds...delicious. What types of dishes do you like to cook the best? Cakes and cookies? Veggies? Meat? Perhaps we can share our favorite recipes?

Photo upload service eh?

Well, it's not integrated, but I do have a script that lets you upload files to a directory hanging around somewhere.

I found an option to enable it. Buried deep in the preferences. I spent most of the evening trying to teach myself how to use Paintshop Pro to make a banner. Now that I have a dark green banner, with aforementioned spoonful of sugar... I suddenly wonder if it would look better in white :P

Wow, I was about to bitch about the data transfer. But my site is finally back! Huzzah!

My site is at http://www.aspoonfulofsugar.net/ I tend to cook mostly cakes and breads, feel free to have a browse around!

How, exactly, do you take an arty picture of a hoor? The mind boggles!

Thanks Keli! I'm now trying to figure out what colours go with a nice forest green. Reworking my site really needs an interior decorator :D
