The Poddyland News 6th February 2009
Friday, February 6th, 2009I was wondering about our blogs at Squidtop lately. Just how many people actually visit and look at our postings? Is it just the small group of us that have blogs, or do other people actually visit at all?
There are often very few comments on not only my postings, but others here too, and they are usually by the same people – US!
I wondered what you do to promote your Squidtop blog, and does it seem to do any good?
South Florida has cooled off again this week, and the temperatures for the last 3 nights were down in the low 30’s, which is decidedly cool for here. It’s funny to see people in thick winter coats, but I have to admit that although I have a good tolerance for cold, and I can stand being outside when it’s cold as long as the sun is shining and it’s not windy, once the sun goes in and that icy wind gets up, it starts to cut right through me.
This week has seen me making a few tweaks to our Off The Record blog, mostly tidying up the code on the Wordpress Theme. Debbie also put out a wonderfully funny post about the shopping trip she took last weekend with her daughter. If you haven’t seen it yet, you could be missing out on a good laugh.
I also worked on another site that I have been desperate to get off the ground this past week, The Laughline. This is the place where I will be copying all the jokes and funny pictures from my original web site The Poddys Directory, plus I will be using it as the archive repository for all my postings from my Yahoo Group. So if you get a chance and are in the mood for something funny, please drop by The Laughline.
Well the deadline has now passed for Debbie to get her visa approved, so there is not enough time now before Valentines Day to get her passport sent off the the US Embassy in London and returned before she was due to fly, even if she heard today. So, our hopes of spending half term together for Valentines Day and Presidents Day have been dashed. I have Presidents Day off and she has the whole week off, but now we have to spend them alone, 4,500 miles apart. The next opportunity for her to come over is Easter, which is another 2 months away. Of course we still have to wait for her visa to be approved to know if she can come over. The waiting, since the end of October is so frustrating. Please keep your fingers crossed for us.
Well have a good weekend everybody, stay warm, or cool if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, and if you get a chance, I have 3 lenses listed below that are in need of some love. Please visit if you can and leave a comment to let me know that you were there.

We plan to cover just about anything, from what each of us is doing while we are stuck 4,500 miles apart, to news, updates and information on trendy new items or web sites / software that we like.
