So welcome!
I’ve been saying that blogging in a changed and changing world (for better or for worse, but into the unknown) is like trying to dance to music that hasn’t been composed yet.
So this is a place to try a few steps, begin to put together the notes.
I’m still getting to know the groundrules of this place, but two things are clear:
- Your first comment has to be moderated by me; after that you can post directly.
- If you would like to post as well as comment (or if you write a comment that seems to turn into a post, and you want to move it up), join WordPress (takes about 30 seconds) as a user and then e-mail me the e-mail address you used. I’ll enter you as a contributor (or, if you want to volunteer to interior-design the place, as an administrator).
I’ll be writing some here, and I hope you will too, one way or another. (I’m going to Florida for a few days AND have an editing deadline, so I may not get off to a fast start.)
And Rod is right: stick in “VAL” and you’d almost have “AMBIVALENCE.” (I could make it “Ambience” but it would put me right to sleep.)
Ambiance

You know I’d love to help you with some interior design, but I’m an HTML girl and pretty hopeless at CSS. Images, graphics, animation, can do if you need them.
Say Hi to Mr. 91 for me.

i just tried to sign up for the blogpress- uh- wordpress admission. Yeah, pretty hopeless, as my username is already in existence: most likely by me.
I’ll just visit and comment, amba. I’m even more of a klutz when it comes to automated telephone directories. I always seem to have a question or issue NOT covered in the litany of pre-existing lists.
As for the appearance of this new space? I like it’s quietness- calming. i know it’s rote- but, less is sometimes more.
