Card: A Book Lover's Christmas

I got this beautiful Christmas card from someone who works for BCL!!! But...I don't know how to thank the person because they didn't sign it! If it was you, please let me know so I can thank you.

Here is what it says:
A Potter in a Pear Tree
Two Green Eggs & Ham
Three Chilling King Tales
Four Da Vinci Clues
Five Little Golden Books
Six Book Club Meetings
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
Eight Plots Thickening
Nine Hobbits Dancing
Ten Clancy Heroes Leaping
Eleven Unfortunate Events Unfolding Twelve Grishams Gripping

It is so clever!!!

Happy Holidays!

How to add the Rollyo search box to your blog

How to add the Rollyo search box to your blog:
1. Log into Rollyo
2. Click on “Dashboard”
3. Scroll down until you see a grey box with the title “Searchbox”, it is on the right near the bottom
4. Click on the red word “Searchbox”
5. Ignore the first blank boxes for now
6. Scroll down to where you see three windows. On the left, you should see the search you created as the first one. Click on it to hightlight it.
7. Click on the box that looks like this to add it to the middle window
8. Choose a radio button for style from under the middle window; you will see the preview of it under the right hand window so experiment
9. Red is the nicest so that is what I chose. Copy the text from the box on the right.
10. Start a new blog entry in your Blogspot blog and paste the text then publish. Here is mine.


Thing 20: YouTube

Well, I'm skipping ahead to Thing #20 because I shot a little video yesterday and posted it! I've been using YouTube for more than a year. I only have a couple of brief videos on it, but it is fun. I also have some videos on Photobucket and Picasa, but YouTube is really the best.

Yesterday, my puppy Barkley spotted a plastic "snake" in the garden. I really don't recall why my ex put the snake out there...perhaps to scare some critter away from the garden...but Barkley just discovered it yesterday and he was so funny to watch!! Actually he was a lot funnier a few minutes before this video, but by the time I went in and got my camera and came back out, he was less animated. Bottom line: I have a puppy, and I need to simply carry the camera everywhere I go!
