It is cold and my month off wine (I take a month off alcohol each year).

By the way, have you seen anything different on the forum lately? Look at my data (location, join date, etc. to the top right)! Do you see the blog number / link?

I have just added vbulletin's (the people that make this forum's software) blog module on to this forum. It is not as refined as other blog types like wordpress IMHO, but I am sure it will get there as they develop it. But it does interact with the rest of the forum and photo gallery as you can see (if you click and look at my blogs).

I was actually going to get a blog package anyway at some time, then they released this, so........

In case you are wondering what the difference is between a forum and a blog, forums are for posting messages to one another, blogs are for writing stories. If you do your own blog you are also in control of it; you can select whether anyone who replies (posts a comment) to your blog, if their reply is seen / approved by you or not! So if you do not like what someone has to say.............. I have not enabled "moderation" on my blogs though

By the way, the header graphic (the little girl logo) at the top of this forum will also be changing very soon. It will still include her but will be a lot more tropical and topical.
