Iced Tea Forever, the Graphical State — A Disclaimer
A little further explanation on the disclaimer. By “pre-launch” I mean I’m not finishing designing this site yet. Blogger doesn’t have that many templates, and they’re all pretty common so I wanted to design my own.
However, it takes me ages to design a website. I like to pound code, but I’m not much of a artistic designer so that’s where the time-consuming hang-up is. If I waited until I had this site all designed before launching, I’d probably never launch. Now that I’ve launched, I work on crafting brilliant and insightful posts instead of doing the graphic design. So maybe it will never be more than a sea of white and a glass of tea.
I’m getting some very positive feedback on using pictures. I’ve said that for a long time, people like pictures.
If you follow my additions to the “To Do” list, you’ll notice I added my intentions of publishing a site feed. The feed is actually there right now, I just don’t have a link to it yet. I need to find some atom button images. Here’s a link now if you want it. Put that in your newsreader and subscribe to ITF!

Please define your terms for people such as I who do not “pound code.”
1. Site feed
2. Atom button
3. Newsreader
Like you, I like to proofread, and understand the irritation and aggravation of discovering an error after I have emailed or commented or given to my boss or…

Hey, Paul was finally able to get a picture on his blog. I’m sure he’d be delighted if you’d take the time to come by and see it. It’s a really cute picture of our two little girls. Absolutely adorable!! :)
The address is http://www.tencentsworth.blogspot.com If I knew how, I’d make a hyperlink, but I don’t. So, come on by and take a look. :)

Way to go Paul!
Maybe I’ll have to post a pic of my little nephews.
Wonder what a term means? Google it! I’m really rather weak on the whole feed thing, kind of new to it. But it’s like a subscription, kind of like an email maybe. The sites you subscribe to come to you instead of you going to them. Atom/XML/RSS are just different formats of the same thing I think, different kinds of site feeds.

Yeah, post a pic of those nephews. Like SG, “Keep the pictures coming. I like pictures.”
Would the “feed thing” require an always-on connection?
