hacking, really. It’s why the comment form gets closed and bad linkies appear in my posts. My apologies again, folks. I had no idea this was happening.

I have no idea how comments got turned off. I am very sorry for any inconvenience or “what the heck”s I’ve caused.
(oh and welcome Kandice! Curiousity can lead to some pretty neat things. I smell a blog post brewin’)
Omphaloskepsis
I’ve been doing a bit of that today, for various reasons. MomR noted my recent uptick in blogging; why have I been writing more in the past month? Two things stand out in the late July timeline: #1, Richard came home and I have my laptop again. I don’t know what I got ’til it’s gone, as Joni Mitchell might say sing. #2, I received an official calling at church.
Now, at first glance, the latter seems unrelated–after all, I didn’t get a call to blog (though that would be kind of cool). But the absence thereof has undermined my confidence for months. Not that I’ve ever been the most self-assured person out there, but I have seriously doubted my abilities, my standing with God, and ultimately my purpose here on earth. Writing anything worth reading seemed unlikely. It sounds so [I can't express myself without swearing] asinine as I’m typing this that I’m sure you, gentle reader, figured it out some time ago (at least a sentence or two before I did).
I’m not oozing aplomb but I’m not a sieve; I’m not Wonder Woman* but I’m doing what I can; ideals like confident humility may yet transform from sticks to stars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another factor is using more online resources this year for home school. If they’re on the computer more, so am I, and I’m taking time to ‘play’ on my personal blog, group blog & friends’ blogs. I might even wander the ‘nacle inbetween blue moons =)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of the navel gazing stems from counsel to pray & meditate about my life in a recent priesthood blessing; which areas demand the most intense focus right now? I could rattle off any number of my life’s fixer-upper projects, so whittling it down may take some time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve also reconnected with a friend from way way way way back in day (whom I have not yet asked permission to identify) and trying to parse the important, the interesting, the same, the different aspects of the past 20 years is daunting. Expressing that concisely, even moreso.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve had some new visitors to the blog in the past little while (those who know me as a local yokel) and I want to take a bit to explain why I have initially moderated comments. The greymatter version of the Kazoo blog had horrible horrible horrible spam attacks. I eventually closed the comment form and switched platforms. WordPress has this lovely feature:
Â
Akismet has caught 3,748 spam for you since you first installed it.
You have no spam currently in the queue. Must be your lucky day. :)
Â
The first time a reader makes a comment, I receive a moderation e-mail. I haven’t met a legitimate commenter that I haven’t approved. After that, as long as you enter the same username and e-mail address, your comment should appear within normal server time. Any problems, please contact me at kazooblog via gmail. (I’d say you could leave a comment, but that’s like when my internet service is down and while on the phone to my provider, a recording invites me to go to their website for faster service)
Â
Welcome, welcome, one and all!!!

My first attempt at creating, er, modifying a wp theme didn’t go so well. I was able to reconstruct the old one you see here, so I can give myself a pat on the back with my slighty aching hand. Inserting kazoo images will be a windmill for a later day.
I’ve been playing around with the font variations, currently the sidebar smallcaps option is turned off. I’m not sure if I like it better just yet. Thoughts?
In which I might make pictures viewable
So one of these days I’ll stop trying to reinvent the wheel web album and you’ll get to see things in a much more timely manner…
 Okay, so if this works, you’ll go to a snapfish website that will ask you to log-in to view the 87 photos T is sharing with you. Updated to emphasize–you do not need to register, this link will let you login with the information below.
Enter kazoo @ tanteikid.com in the e-mail box, kazoo as the password, ignore all of the commercialization, click to view slide show, sit back and enjoy.
Let me know in the comments if this works for you or not.

One more cheer for the format change!

In adding some new features to the blog there are some errors showing up in the code. I am working on them and the site should be error free soon.
