New Logo & Look

Do you like the new logo, banner and look of this blog?

Thought I would try something different for summer. :)

Blog Award... wow.

Ms Teacher has given me a blog award. I have never gotten one of these before and I don't really even know what to say. Wow, thanks!

I know my blog here isn't easy to categorize. It's most about Aidan now. You put up with my rants about politics (Kerry H likes to call some of my posts "smart people posts" and wishes there would just be more about Aidan and Norma), sports, and the news. But, every once in a while I do post about school, teaching and my career. I love my job and what I do and I love being able to share in other people's careers and see how they are doing in teaching. That is one reason I love visiting Ms Teacher's blog. It is so positive and she shares more than just what is happening at her school.

Teaching is rewarding and a wonderful job. But, it is still just a job. Many get carried away with doing EVERYTHING for EVERYONE at very little pay. Well, we are human beings. Go out and live your life to the fullest. And enjoy your students while you do.

Now I have been charged by Ms Teacher to give out 7 blog awards myself. And I will need to think about it. I read a lot of teacher blogs and love them very much. Picking just 7 will be hard. I will try very hard to do that before the end of the week! Thanks Ms Teacher.

messing with Vox

The past couple of days I have been messing with this Vox blog: Forty.Vox.Com. Thanks to Leo LaPorte and his blog "Life of Leo", I found Vox. It looks to be a very interesting community. Previously I have blogged on a couple of other services. Lately my home has been on Blogger for more than a year.

But, on Blogger you tend to feel like you are on an island and you shout out from that island hoping someone reads/hears you. On Vox there is more of a "community" feel.

So, over this summer I will be experimenting with Vox and see if it's the kind of place for me. I like MANY of the features and so far only dislike a few. I'll be posting more about what I think about this place. But, so far, so good!

Let me know which you like better - this current location/blog? Or the new Vox one.

1 year on Blogger

Sunday Oct 1st is my one year anniversary on Blogger. Pretty good year.

October 1, 2005: First ever Blogger Post

I am a lot happier in this blogspace than I was at the now a mess Modblog. But, there is a lot of work for me to do with this place. I hope to buy some time in the next few weeks, but we'll see. It's a real busy time in the fall at school. Much for a teacher to do.

Which reminds me, I have a review, test and powerpoint to work on. :)
