Ciga Rest

BLog Objective

Jumped between the scenic east coast motorcycle rides and the stop smoking ideas. Have decided that the purpose of my blog will achieve the following objectives: 

  1. A journal traveling the life of a smoker as she attempts to put out the butts once and for all.          

  2. Provide information to others on how to stop smoking.

I'm sure I will sneak in a few hidden agendas, but you'll have to read the blog to determine that.   

Group Blog

It's taken a lit bit of time rounding up the gang. Plus I think the gang is trying to get familiar with the various aspects of the fundamentals of blogging.  Which leads us to our group blog --  A a TypePad HowTo , a collection of how to tibits on using TypePad as a blogging tool.

Our objectives include helping ourselves to learn and document how to use the various techniques of typepad and providing this knowledge to others.

Group Blog updated - Going to keep the howto blog as a "sub" group blog for an area to exchange learning experiences and to open the door for thoes who may read our blogs and want to know how to use TypePad as blogging Tool.

A new primary blog http://www.pscblog.typepad.com/talk has been developed as a QU Graduate Corner to discuss whats happening in the graduate arena and news, especially with interest towards the Organizational Leadership program.

Delicious

No rhyme or reason here. Still need to do some organizing. Just jumping around, as I am trying to decide what to do!! The pest control sites I grab since my husband owns his own pest control company. And the hunting site is one of his recent hot spots. In the process of moving to a new internet, so this will be a neat tool to move existing favorites.

What will it be?

Individual Blog Ideas:

Did you ever see a kitten chasing its’ tail?  Well that’s what I look like, as I am trying to decide on my blogging idea. I have probably thought about a half a dozen ideas.  Ranging from a blog that explores a daily inspirational quote, or how to research your family history, or rides the motorcycle enthusiast through the east coast, or creative ways to scrapbook your memories, or how to get orgainzed! Maybe that kitten was the offspring of a stray cat and there is a need for a blog that provides awareness to the cruelty and problems of abandoing cats that are not neutered or spayed.  Or perhaps, it is finally time to put down those butts (cigarettes) once for all and create a self help blog.  Each day I change my mind, chasing my tail round and round.  Waiting to talk with the group to make my final decision, but leaning towards trying to help myself and others finally quit once and for all.

Try Again

It's 4 in the morning. Not sure if it was the smoker's hack or the smoke alarm's beeping dying battery that woke me up. But I'm up. Don't want to wake the house, so the coffee making will have to wait. Might as well try another trackback. For what ever reason, the first trackback did not register on the referencing blog. Then saw the awesome sites the other class member's started, and didn't want to redo a trackback and embarrass myself with the start of my site. Just because I'm in IT doesn't mean I'm good at this stuff. It's ironic, since the non IT folks seem to have a better start at this than us ITers.

Let's try again  1. hit the insert link key trackback 2a. entered url address of trackbacks into the screen that popped up labled script prompt  enter url then 2b. entered link name into the screen that popped up labled script prompt enter text to link 2c hit enter and gave me the word entered underlined as seen above  then reentered url starting with http:// in the box under send a trackback to these address then hit save - still not working -- did same thing above but started the url in the send a trackback with www -- did again without filling in the send a trackback to these addresses -- none worked.  What am I doing wrong???? Help!

Update -- had this working - but not working again - trying walts if his works then  maybe a problem on the other end and not on what I am doing -- Try Again, Hi Walt!
