WordPress Class?

Yes, that’s what I typed. WordPress Class. Over the past few years I’ve been taking online courses conducted by Gale Education (I think that’s their name but I’m sure it’s Gale at least). The courses are available using a library card and a local community college. It’s been quite a while since I’ve signed up and taken one of their 6-week courses so I went for a perusal session on my classroom site and found this one.

I have WordPress and have been using it for a few years. Right. Really, I have even if it doesn’t look like it. The instructor recommends that we all subscribe to a paid plan using the .org version. I’m not sure I’m going to but we’ll see how the class goes then maybe I will. I’m not seeing a big difference other than the upload process.

Remember back when you could build webpages using Yahoo? I had one of those. I had one that I built using Go Daddy and one other – Google. All of them should have disappeared from view although it’s been a long time since I’ve looked for them.

The class starts on December 18th. Just hope that I don’t subject everyone to some wacko coursework assignments here.

I am still knitting. Currently, I’m participating in the Gnana’s Visit gnome MKAL with Imagined Landscapes. I finished Clue 4 this morning and really need to get myself going on blocking the finished piece of Clue 3.

My other project is just a simple hat where you knit something that looks like a bolster pillow cover when it’s really a double-thick hat. That is the name of the pattern. Double Thick Hat and it can be found on Ravelry. This is my third one. It’s excellent for using up those left over fingering weight yarns.

Genealogy has been another obsession that’s been taking up some of my time and lots of my money over the past two years. I’m finding that I have ancestral ties that go way back almost to prehistoric times in both Canada/France and Scotland. Not that far. I am back into the 9th generation before now. Would that be BN – Before Now?

Obligatory Photo Time

It’s been a really long time since I’ve purchased yarn from Periwinkle Sheep. One day, an e-mail arrived in my inbox and I opened it instead of deleting it. Why I subscribe to every Indie Yarn dyer in the United States is still baffling me, but, every now and then I do make a purchase. Karin had mystery yarns as an option. I bought these. Aren’t they gorgeous? I think so.

Go enjoy your Monday!
