Happy Anniversary VBA

I just noticed quite by accident that I started the VBA blog exactly one year ago today! I’m totally surprised as I had no idea this little site has been up and running a full 365+ days.

Thank you one and all for your continued support of your fellow bloggers out there in the blogosphere. Each one of you is unique and worth reading.

Here’s to the Versatile Blogger Award and each one of you, my fellow VBA winners!

There were no “Likes” in 2006… (Versatile Blogger Award)

Blogging has changed since the last time I did it during the dark ages of the internet in 2006.

Today we have the integrated blog stats that Wordpress so thoughtfully provides us all, informing me at a glance how many clicks I’ve received per day and what the clickers were clicking on and where the clickers came from, both geographically and via the internet.

A great "acceptance speech" for the VBA...

In February, we spent a few days kayaking on the Gulf Coast of Florida, in the St. Petersburg area. While Johna was edging into artistry at the Sweetwater Kayak Symposium, I rented a kayak and paddled around taking photos of birds.

There were birds everywhere. And while not exactly tame, they were not shy at all. In fact, they had clearly found that in some ways living beak-to-cheek with humans was to their advantage.

Take a look at the photographs of the birds in this post! Very nice!

A Short Preview of my novel: METAL MAN WALKING

At the suggestion of a reader, I’m posting a short preview of my novel, METAL MAN WALKING.

Thanks for Your Patience

Yes, yes, yes — I am way way way behind on adding new winners to the VBA Blogroll.

Yes, I am behind once more on adding new VBA winners to the blogroll. Please be patient as I am taking a bit of a break from this blog to focus on my writing…

Be back soon!

Catching Up

Despite a new puppy (sleeping now), I’ve been able to add new VBA winners to the VBA Blogroll. Some are still missing, but — not forgotten. Soon…

And Again, Behind

Hey VBA Winners — yes, I am behind on adding new nominees/award-winners to the blogroll… and, over the next few months, I am likely to get even further behind as I am adding a puppy to my family. If you’ve ever owned a puppy — a 7 or 8 week old ball of fluff and fur, then you understand. If not, just imagine a baby that can run around your house and poop and pee and bite and chew anything and everything, and you may have some idea.

Have a great weekend and all the usual pleasantries associated with a great life!

Take Care

As a writer, I take care in proofreading my entries. This morning, I discovered a typo in the blogroll. Of course, I fixed it. If your blog is misspelled or miss-titled, please let me know via a comment. I will not be offended. Carley
