Updates from Ryder Family Farm
A southern Illinois family farm- sowing the seed of tomorrow, savoring the fruits of yesterday
Here is this weeks Weekly Winners post, as with last week all photos were captured using my new Kodak Cd-1013 Digital Camera. Here is Alexandria-Maybelle, the bunny. We have had her since way before the move to Evansville. We ended up buying her at the feed and tack store one spring while my mom was […]
I am home today and am enjoying the weekend. The colorguard camp ended Saturday and it went very well. They kids learned so much and were a blast to work with. Now I am ready for some rest this weekend and to make some progress at home! N and I looked at a Winnebago Saturday […]
If I don’t go very slow I will get brain overload and have a melt down! Going from PC to Mac is not as traumatizing as I thought it would be. It is still a work in progress but I think I have managed to learn lots since I got my MacBook. Here is what […]
Since I am pulling my hair out with techie stuff right now anyway I figured I should just take care of my blog at the same time. I get bored easily so I want to have all my sidebar crap in widgets that I can arrange easily and that wont be lost when I change […]
I upgraded 3 blogs to wordpress 2.5 today. One of the blogs is having image insertion issues. I found a post called 2.5 Image/Media Uploader problems over at the wordpress support site that talks about the potential fixes for the issue. Things like browser cache, type of browser, old versions of adobe flash player, the […]
Today several employers responded to N after he sent out several applications yesterday. This is a great sign for the job search but it also brings up a new technical challenge for me! One of the employers asked if he had some online footage they could take a look at, sort of a resume tape. […]
Register.com sent me and unsolicited email about free domain registeration that they are giving away till 3/25/08. I thought it looked like an interesting deal so I headed over to the site to read the find print. It is actually free for 1 year from the date of registration (you will need to buy your […]
I have a weird situation going on here. I have my own blog, Harvest of Daily Life and I help N with his blog, Green Preferred. Both blogs have the most recent wordpress version which is 2.3.3 as of today. The strange thing is that he has this nifty wordpress.com stats display in his dashboard […]
I could really use my readers support today! I made a video for a contest by Packet8/ Mobile Talk, you can view the video in my earlier blog post. I really need support in the polls for the contest, if you visit the contest page you can vote for my video and help me win […]
Since moving to our new rental home we have had issues with our cell phone reception. We figured it was because we are now living in a more rural area but as it turns out we get reception just fine about a block away from our house but not at our house.. We have been […]
We are back home and getting back into the swing of things. We had a nice Christmas and are enjoying all the fun things we got from each other. N got me a sweet Sansa MP3 player of my own, I have been stealing his to play my music at guard rehearsals.. So now I […]
I am attempting to make my second video ever, this one is for a video contest! This video is about Packet8, a company offering broadband voip international calling service that you can use from your cell phone. It’s cheaper, more reliable and more convenient than other international calling alternatives. If you have a cell phone […]
Okay, so I know what it feels like to work in the service industry, I have about 10 years experience in the field. I have helped people find and try on clothes, checked them into hotel rooms, parked cars, cleaned rooms, served food, coordinated parties and I now work making custom gifts. I know what […]
Did you know that many bloggers who get paid to blog are suffering from dramatic page rank drops? Do you know why? It is because of Google’s rules about “passing page rank” through paid links. Payperpost is a great way for bloggers to get paid for writing but questions have been raised about whether or […]
I was doing research earlier this week on how to effectively build my blogs readership. There truly is more to blogging that the obvious posting aspect of it. While I was learning about new ideas and trends in the blogosphere I found The iREPLY movement. The movement basically proves that appreciating and conversing with your […]
Today I decided I would try something new.. I heard about a new people finding site called Spock, I headed over to their site to see what all the talk was about. Basically they are a people search company. Spock is better than the search engines because they limit their results to just people, you […]
If you are a e commerce site owner you know that this is the worst time possible to have server/ hosting issues with your site. These issues not only loose you potential customers but they are very stressful because you can do nothing to remedy the issue. I am amazed at how many outages I […]
With any goal or dream perseverance and determination are key. You can do anything you want to if you set your mind to but you also have to take steps every day to get to where you want to be. Everyone has dreams and goals but many people become caught up and forget to take […]
I am addicted to digital photography! I take way to many photos and even had to buy an external hard drive to store all my photos! I am hoping for a new digital camera or camcorder this holiday season. I specifically need a digital camera that allows me to change the lens for different types […]
You probably already know I am a sustainable living freak. We love saving our gray water for the garden, we like energy efficient appliances and just about anything that can save us money and energy. We even just started a “green blog”, greenpreferred.com The new energy efficient craze is LED lights. These are a very […]
