For anyone who has ever worked in the service industry, you’ll get a good chuckle out of today’s (Oct 31) Ziggy. 😉

If you’ve been keeping up with the site for the past week then you know a few things have been happening.

First, there was the problem with not being able to get into the site for a while at the beginning of this week. And it seems my server isn’t the only one with a WordPress blog that has been having difficulties. To solve the problem of not having access to this server, I created a “Plan B” backup site for emergencies. Please check there for information on any current problems if you can’t get into this site.

Second, I’ve started adding videos to the site. On the day I originally tried posting my first video, the host site was having problems. But that was corrected and the very helpful staff at YouTube quickly and accurately provided the information needed to get things rolling. (However, there still seems to be a problem in Opera with the actual video not showing. Which I will try and get fixed as soon as possible.)

Third, although I’ve been able to get Feedster to recognize this site, I still haven’t figured out how to get my two other blogs properly listed. Feedster still doesn’t seem to recognize their own feed claims. Technorati has been doing a good job of getting most of the posts listed and their member listings work well. I was able to upload icons and have them displayed for all three blogs without too much trouble. Although IceRocket was quicker at getting posts displayed on the search engine a few weeks ago, it seems they too are having some difficulties.

So the adventures of a blogging newbie continues…

I’ve just added a new feature to the site, videos. Here is my first effort at videoblogging – a relaxing 2 minute break.
