HI! it's been a long time since I have done any blogging and I really hope to get back into it now that I am back on Blogger. I had gone over to Wordpress because my DH had bought a domain that came with one or 2 free accessible blogs so of course I HAD to try it. Shall we just say it was a mistake for me. Way too technical.
