back and in action!!!!!

2010 February 27
by 5 Orange Potatoes

Some of you may have noticed that 5 Orange Potatoes has been a little out of sight for about a week…..well, I have had a nasty little bug to take care of (correction- Dave, has had to take care of). I have learned the hard way that-

1. When your dashboard says to UPDATE your blog or a widget, you better do it or nasty bugs WILL attack….a bug hit my ad buttons 42,000,000 times. Can you believe that? 42,000,000!! You might notice that the picture tabs are missing on your right; those are the babies that were causing the harm. If you want to visit the different pages just look across the top for the tabs.

2. DON”T nag the husband with questions about when the blog will be fixed and assume that he’s not doing anything about it, when in actuality he IS doing something; he put about 15 hours into diagnosing the problem, finding the bug, talking to the Bluehost support, and dealing with me! Thank goodness he is so tech savy and thank goodness he didn’t kick me to the curve when I probably should have been!

3. One last lesson learned- Cary Grant doesn’t respond back when you hold up a new Hootenanny Owl to the tele screen!  He could care less! :) I’ve so missed everyone!

I have really missed blogging and feel as though I’ve been missing an appendage without it! I’ll catch you all up on what we have been doing, but it will have to wait for another day. I’m sorry for not visiting blog-land last week as well, I will do a lot of catching up in the next few days. Glad to be back and hope everyone is well!

Also, thank you all who traveled over to Blogger to check on me and leave a comment.

-Lisa

    I’m so glad you’re back in action! I’ve been away a bit but no bugs here so I’m glad you don’t have too much to read I have to catch up on! <3

    Yippee! glad to have my sister back! I don’t know how Dave does it!

    Oh, I do love Cary Grant. He is so handsome. And funny. And charming. I love Jimmy Stewart too. And, although he is an odd sort of attractive, I LOVE Humphrey Bogart. In some of his lesser known films he is absolutely sexy.

    I love hootenannys, too. Just not in the same way. ;o)

    Glad you’re back!!!!

    Thank goodness! I was worried that you had decided to take down the site. I’m sorry I wasn’t chosen for the hootenanny. Can I purchase one somewhere? I can’t remember if you did a tutorial on this or not. Please, I want one for my very own!

    This was just the kick in the butt I needed to update my homeschool blog. I have never done an update on WordPress, so it has made me nervous.

    Yay!! So glad to have you back;)

    we’re all doing fine Lisa and we’re happy you’re back in action. I’ve been kind of MIA myself these days with an overly active February.

    Where would we be without our tech savvy husband’s??

  28. February 27, 2010

    Oh no, Lisa… sorry! Don’t know what I’d do as I’m the tech savvy person in our house and I’m clueless! Um… how does one update their blog??
    Glad you are back in action!
    Blessings and magic to you and your computer.

      You don’t have to update on blogger……just when you have your own domain. Trust me, if you have to update, your dashboard will tell you. I’ve been ignoring the “update” button for a while now………oops. ;)
