There is something new and interesting about my blog page on my website — can you guess what it is?  Could it be that nifty sidebar on the right with search functions and archives and categories like regular blogs have?  Maybe its this little thing at the bottom of the page that says “RSS Feed”?  The ability to comment on individual posts?  OR is it this:

The Ability to post pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The amount of exclamation points alone should tell you how happy I am.  That’s right, the changes to my blog are complete, and I could not be happier.  My first blog format was great, perfect for a completely un-savvy computer user, but I’ve learned a little over the past year or so, and therefore know better what I want… and also what widgets are.  I no longer have to limit myself to just text.  I can link things, I can post media if I wanted to (but I’m too scared to try) and I can post as many pictures as I want.  Like this one:

My office area with inscrutable handwriting on my big white board.  Book 4 plot!

Or a picture of me with straight hair, which I find hysterical because it tends to freak people out:

I know what you’re thinking:  I’m about 5 years behind the times in terms of blogging.    All this cool stuff I’m crowing over is standard on your average blog format, from livejournal to blogspot.  To you I would say… don’t squelch my happy, guys.  I have parents for that.

Other news:  Outline for the next book has been turned in, and I can’t wait to start writing it!  So much so, I think I won’t wait any longer…

Happy reading, everyone!
