Those of you with a passing familiarity with WordPress and Web design in general already will have figured out that I’m rather clueless about these things and that I’m muddling through. Take our ongoing conversation about comments. Basically, nothing fundamental has changed. You can fill out a short profile and have a name and an avatar or not. If you select “not,” you simply will be anonymous. That’s as it has been, but I wanted to take the opportunity to assure you any information you record here, such as an email address, is never (intentionally!) shared with a third party. Heck, even I never look at it. My point: the interface might be a bit different and the unfamiliarity of it all a little spooky, but as for your participation in the village, nothing has changed. I don’t think.

Peace,
Hmm
Mhh
I discovered the”sharp knife advice the hard way. I now have a nice knife sharpener and the little things that Arlo has in his hand that I use to sharpen my knives as I use them.
I got to see Julie and Julia on a badly delayed flight from Houston to Detroit (heavy snow in Houston, not Detroit). The movie inspired me to make Boeuf Bourguignon. It is a very nice beef stew
That’s called a “steel,” Steve, even though some of them are ceramic now. They’re used to hone the knife.
Thanks. I never knew what it was called and too lazy to google it.
Jimmy: you said “You can fill out a short profile and have a name and an avatar or not.”. IS this separate from the “REPLY” section? because I don’t see anything there ( below the comments) to enter or choose an Avatar or define a “profile” yet. I’m not at all sure what the “website” block is supposed to be for.
The website block is for those who have one and wish to share a link to it from here.
Thanks Ruth Anne …. that’s sorta what I thought, but it seemed an odd thing to include as a standard form field. I mean, how many people have such that they use as standard? Facebook maybe for some ( I’m not a user of that). Ah well, thanks again for the info.
You need to go to Gravitar, https://en.gravatar.com/, to define the profile and set an avatar. Then, the avatar’s available at any blog or forum that uses Gravitar.
I had seen that mentioned earlier, but am hesitant to set up a new account with them. I have no real purpose to do so.
Like some have mentioned – this is getting beyond me … but I’ll try and “save”
I still have my flip phone – and can just about make it work!
I think my mom and grandmother bought our first artificial Christmas tree at a Gibson’s store. I was old enough to help sort the branches and put on the lower ones, but not tall enough to put in the upper ones. My grandmother used that tree until I moved off to Tennessee. When she had gotten to the point she couldn’t do it, I would put up the tree and all the decorations around the house. Nice memories.
Could we see more about Argo and Janis’ kids and less about the cat, please?!
Leaving a comment just to see how it works. I’m liking what I see so far….
Why the barely visible gray font? It’s nearly impossible to read.
I have trouble reading small print. I have my screen set at 125% and I can see everything just fine!
Check check check. Checking out the new website, checking out if I can use it….
Since it was asked about, I too would prefer chronological. I like to read everything if I have time to check in. Maybe I’ll work on an avatar—AFTER Christmas.
Re 12-17-18 cartoon: I thought sure that, in panel #4, Arlo’s dad would pull a “leg lamp” out of the box, as in “A Christmas Story”.
