I was in bed nursing Daniel

and turned on the TV just in time to see the aftermath of the first plane. I grabbed for the remote, thinking Tig had left the TV on the action movie channel.

No such luck. All the major networks had basically the same images. Maybe a different camera angle, but it was all the same thing.

I couldn’t look away from it. Not even when the horror multiplied.

Daniel fussed as my body reacted to the horror of watching the second plane. No milk for you kiddo, not right this minute…

Alannah was downstairs, doing her schoolwork when Tig came home from work. He tried to explain to her that this is a time for FAMILY and that’s why he was home so early.

Where were you?

My Blogging Software: Then and Now

Once upon a time, in a horridly ugly alternate universe, there lived a Scary Webpage. Although the images weren’t indexed by the Wayback Machine, thanks to a friend, I can show you it.

My Former Avatar

Click the image if you want to biggie-size it. Also? A different friend sent the image to me as-is and the artist’s signature is not legible. If you recognize the artwork, holla – I’d love to give credit where credit is due.

Unfortunately, this was not my first webpage.

This was. Well, sort-of. I’m not sure if this is Tig’s creation or mine and he’s not available to ask. (More than likely I coded a page and then he went back and “fixed” it.) I’m fairly sure that both of these pages were created in Dreamweaver.

On the blogging side of things, I can tell you that somewhere around April of 2004 I moved from Moveable Type (please dear gawd don’t ask me what version) to WordPress 1.0.2 and haven’t looked back once.

Between the generation of that first webpage (2002) and my conversion to WordPress (2004) I realized that I am Not A Coder. Ask me a question, I can find an answer for you. Ask me to code something for you and my brain will explode (and not in the shimmery pretty fireworks kinda way either).

Like much of the rest of my life, I’m sure coding would prove to be easy if I Would Just Apply Myself a Bit More but nah. I’d rather let Matt and The Developers handle that side of things. Why reinvent the wheel, after all?

This post is my response to Lorelle, kickin’ my bloggin’ ass.
